      A perfect introduction to Marrakech is to simply immerse yourself in the colours, sights and sounds of the Djemaa el Fna. During the day it is filled with orange juice vendors, colourfully dressed water sellers, market stalls and snake charmers.

  • Mohammed el Moussaoui, Morocco

    Mohammed el Moussaoui grew up in the stunning coastal town of Essaouira, and loves to take his guests to his favourite Marrakesh restaurant. Don't miss out on the local strong coffee called noss noss, spicy grilled chicken and spicy snails for the braver palates!

  • Ryan Turner, Destination Manager, Middle East & North Africa

    "I love a quiet, early morning orange juice in Djemaa el Fna as the square comes to life and Marrakech starts its day. I love this fine square late at night too, when dinner has been served and the traders are packing up ready for another day. My tip is to sit and chat, watch the world go by, interact with everyone and Morocco will soon have you in her tantalising grip."

  • Villa Mandarine, Rabat, Morocco

    Villa Mandarine is a magnificent old villa full of Moroccan art. It is set in the middle of an orange grove in a suburb of Rabat.
