Cheap Flights to Marrakech (RAK) from UK Airports

Marrakech: Truly Has Something for Everyone.

Exotic Marrakech, affectionately known as the Red City or Al Hamra, is visited each year by thousands of tourists. The bazaars or souks are world-famous, selling everything from traditional hand-woven carpets to the latest in electronics products and everything in between, the Marrakech markets are a paradise for the Western shopper. Merchants love to haggle though so be prepared to join in the game and snap up a bargain!

Marrakech is a popular destination and the streets teem with vendors of every description, artists, dancers, snake charmers and general entertainers adding even more colour, sights, smells and sounds to this already vibrant and exciting city.

Guided day trips to the nearby Atlas Mountains are available or if you prefer you can hire a car and do the driving yourself to fully experience the desert terrain and Berber village settlements en route.

If you would like to try authentic Moroccan fare there is tagine, a delicious dish of marinated meat (usually lamb) and spices. Tagine is also available as a vegetarian option. Cous cous of coursemust also be sampled.

In Marrakech, you can discover the history of the ancient Moors, view the famous Koutoubia Mosque, the Ali Beb Yousseff School of Koramic Studies, the Marrakech Museum, and the Jardin Majorelle, a large acreage of cultivated gardens created by artist Jacques Majorelle during the 1920s.

If you are still looking for something to do after all that, why not take a one or two-day guided desert trip?
