Naomi in Marrakech
If you want a destination that is steeped in culture and charm - Marrakech is the city for you to explore. As soon as you arrive, you become infected with the enchanting culture that resides in this traditional, exotic city. By day, you wonder within the walls of the Medina, (a UNESCO World Heritage site) taking in the noises, the spicy smells, the beautifully coloured fabrics, Babouche slippers, and bartering with the locals. By night, you are entranced by the snake charmers, storytellers and mystical monkeys – it truly becomes a whole new world when the sun sets, and the atmosphere is magical!
Marrakech has some of the most luxurious hotels I have ever experienced in my 21 years as a Travel Consultant. With their grand and palatial interiors, the large Riad style rooms exude opulence. It is not uncommon for your beautiful accommodation to lead to enchanting gardens or magnificent private pools. The luxurious facilities are not however bounded within the city, 5-star luxury awaits you in the Moroccan Desert…
One of the main reasons I have fallen in love with Marrakech is that you do not have to compromise luxurious facilities and 5-star service while being immersed in exquisite tradition. There are few experiences quite like sleeping under canvas in a luxury Berber tent, and where better than within the remote dunes of the desert? Not to mention, the journey to the quiet solitude of the camp is an adventure in itself! If you have limited time in Marrakesh, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a private day tour through the Atlas Mountains on the Tichka Pass, this journey is not for the faint of heart, with the sheer drops and sharp bends although, I can tell you the views were more than worth it – what an adventure! Marrakech is a unique and unforgettable destination with the finest food, service and accommodation that North Africa has to offer.
