About Marrakech

Marrakech is an intoxicating city known for its souks, spices, snake charmers and hidden palaces, though these days it’s prized as much for its trendy art galleries, hip hotels and elegant hammams. Offering a tantalising taste of Africa within easy reach of Europe, it certainly lives up to the hype, and not only thanks to its fabled ancient medina.
It is to the medina, however, that most visitors will gravitate. The ageless city of blushing pink stone has waylaid desert caravans since the 11th century, with travellers succumbing to the charms of its bluesy Gnaoua music, calls to prayer and elaborate feasts. Its dark, narrow alleyways are full of artisan workshops, shrines and sprawling markets, and riads. These traditional courtyard guesthouses range from palatial oases to smaller, more intimate affairs.
Once you’ve had your fill of getting lost (not to mention the relentless street sellers and reckless mopeds), head to the open space of Jemaa el Fna. Thronging with locals each evening, the legendary central square hosts dozens of stalls serving up sheep's head soup from vast cauldrons, as well as grilled aubergines, ubiquitous mint tea and spicy cakes. Meanwhile, a mix of musicians, fortune-tellers, dancing cobras, storytellers and acrobats keep the crowds entertained until late. Towering over the scene is the stately minaret of Koutoubia Mosque, built in 12th century.
Beyond old Marrakech, a modern, 21st-century city is fast developing, particularly in the pulsating district known as Guéliz, and the wider Ville Nouvelle. Indeed, the city that lured hedonists and idealists in the 20th century now attracts fashionistas and trendy couples in search of luxury spas, chic bars and clubs. A flourishing arts and music scene is also firmly stamping Marrakech on the cultural map.
It’s this contrast that makes today’s Marrakech so interesting. With its maze of lanes and entrancing past, the medina will always have its appeal. But as you sip cocktails on a rooftop terrace watching the sun smoulder behind distant peaks, remember Marrakech’s legacy. This is the gateway to the immortal Atlas Mountains, and the vast Sahara beyond.

Travel Advice
Paperwork Needed to Enter Morocco
Every visitor to Morocco must have a valid passport (for at least six months from the time one enters Morocco) and a visa, if required. Please ensure that you have at least two (2) blank facing pages in your passport.
Travel regulations are known to change without notice to the public. We recommend before you travel, to check the current regulations with the Moroccan Embassy in your country. A list of Moroccan Embassies around the world can be found here.
On arrival, you are required to complete an arrival form, normally issued on the airplane – be sure to complete this before arriving at the desk of the passport official. The same form is to be completed on departure and handed in as you pass through passport control – they are available at the airport before passing through the embarkation gates, but pens are not. It is recommended that you have a pen on hand as this form must be completed before arriving at the desk of the passport official.
Visas
Many visitors to Morocco require a visa in order to enter the country. You cannot apply for a visa upon arrival. If you will require a visa to visit Morocco, be sure to allow plenty of time for the application process before your departure date.
