Marrakech… the very name itself conjures up visions of colourful markets bustling with people, fortune-tellers, street acrobats and peddlers. In the background there is the sound of drums and the tingling smell of spices.
Marrakech… the very name itself conjures up visions of colourful markets bustling with people, fortune-tellers, street acrobats and peddlers. In the background there is the sound of drums and the tingling smell of spices. And it’s all here, surrounded by reddish-brown walls, palm trees and the soaring peaks of the high Atlas Mountains towering through the haze. If we take only one excursion during our cruise, this should be it. Marrakech is still one of the truly magical and exotic places left in the world. Our excursion includes coach transfer from Casablanca and back (approximately 3 ½ hours each way) guided visits to the famous Djemaa el Fna Market and other main sights in Marrakech, as well as a special Moroccan lunch with a folkloric show, with typical music and dances of the region.
This tour is not for the faint hearted or for those with limited mobility. It is a long drive, even with a comfort stop in each direction, and Marrakech is heaving with people. The walk through the market will be a very crowded experience over uneven ground, and you will be hassled by shopkeepers pressing you to purchase their wares BUT the effort is well worth it for sheer magic of being in this legendary city. Please note that this tour requires a total walking time of approximately 2 ½ hours.
