Travel to Marrakech

There's no end to the number of amazing things you can do when you're in a new destination. So why not get your trip to Marrakech off to the perfect start by perusing some of our suggestions? After all – out there starts here!

If there's one attraction that captures the heart and soul of Marrakech, it's Jamaa el Fna. Remember to take a few snaps in front of this remarkable icon to show off to everyone back home.

Home to tourist attractions like the Palais des Congres and the Menara Gardens, you'll never have a dull moment in this animated metropolis. After you've finished experiencing those, head in the direction of Saadian Tombs and Bahia Palace.

Try to picture the stories hiding within El Badi Palace as you appreciate its impressive facade. There's a wonderful range of things to do in this destination. If the kids are bored with sightseeing and could use a run around, why not take them to Agdal Gardens? It's the perfect spot to have a running race and chuck a ball around. Still have time on your hands? Want to learn about a few of the local cultural and religious traditions? Join loyal worshipers at Koutoubia Minaret and enjoy an insight into the Islamic faith.

Chilling on a beach doing not much is all well and good, but there's nothing like trying out new and exciting experiences on your holiday!
