- Marrakech
- Marrakech or Marrakesh is without doubt one of the greatest cities in the world. Known as the 'Red City', it is the most important former imperial city in Morocco's history.
From its narrow streets of the old Medina and Djemaa El Fna Square to historical monuments such as Koutoubia, Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs or the new European modern district called Gueliz or Ville Nouvelle which host modern restaurants, fast food chains and big brand stores. Marrakech is also a city of diversity and tolerance. It has all the advantages of a big city where non-shoppers will be amazed by the colour, diversity and vibrancy surrounding the souks, you will enjoy fabulous nightclubs, new-wave of hotels and riads and radical new Moroccan food where world cuisine is prized make this the coolest place to be.
- Merzouga / Erg-chebbi Desert
The Erg Chebbi dunes at MERZOUGA are indisputably one of the great sights of Morocco. Rising to 150m in places, these giant sand hills lining the Algerian border may not be as imposing nor as extensive as some in North Africa, but they come closer than anywhere else in the country (at least, anywhere else that’s relatively accessible) to fulfilling most people’s expectations of what a true desert should be. The result, though, is that Merzouga can sometimes feel less like the désert profond than a Saharan circus, with groups of luxuriously turbaned tourists posing for photographs with hommes bleus under the acacia trees or astride camels.
To stand any chance of experiencing the scenery in its essential state, you should aim to come here out of season (Jan & Feb are the quietest months) and choose your spot very carefully. At the height of summer, the few visitors who brave the fierce heat to reach Merzouga are mostly Moroccans, attracted by the reputed power of the sands to cure rheumatism. Sufferers are buried up to the neck for a few minutes in the afternoon – any longer (and earlier) than that can be fatal.
