Marrakech – The pearl of the South

The city of Marrakech is located at the bottom of the High Atlas and belongs to one of the four cities of the kings of Marocco. At the same time she is one of the most often visited cities of Marocco and attracts more and more tourists every year.

Who is beginning the journey for experiencing the „black continent“ decides to stay at a Hotel or a boarding house in the most cases. The Africans offer a very servbice and are always trying to fulfill every wish of their guests. Starting here you dip into the buzzling city life with ist numerous sights. Main attraction is the medieval market place, the former exuecutioner´s place.

Here the flair of an African City is reflected in the best way with ist perfomers and oriental story tellers. Even the famous snake charmers which one otherwise only knows watching cinema films can be admired here.


Unconditionally a visit to the traditional market called the Souk should be missing. Besides handcrafted carpets, clothes and leather goods fruits and spices are available here. Who is accommodated in a holiday house or a holiday flat will find everything here whyt you need for a „true African meal“. You will be unevitably be overwhelmed by the variety of impressions of colours and smells and will accept the multifaceted offer only „zu gerne“. Thereby the haggling about the price is common.

The African culture and ist way of living is so fascinating and impressive that every holidaymaker will return again and again to Marocco.
