Marrakech is your Gateway to Morocco's Cultural Riches

Marrakech, one of Morocco’s most famous cities, is located in the western part of the country, near the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Founded in 1062 by the Almoravid dynasty, it has long been a vital cultural, economic, and political hub. 

Over the centuries, it has been a crossroads for Berber, Arab, and European influences, which is reflected in its rich architecture, vibrant souks, and colourful history.
