Marrakesh is more than just a city. It is a pearl polished by history
and its tradition of hospitality which, for centuries, has known how to
welcome visitors.
Where the past meets the present
The Majorelle Gardens house a collection of plants from the four corners of the earth flourishing among elegant ornamental lakes
and an Art Deco villa. Yves Saint Laurent's ashes were scattered here.
You leave this enchanted spot in one of the many horse drawn carriages
available in the city and take the inevitable trip to the palm grove.
From there, you continue to the Ménara,
one of Marrakesh's symbolic places. This elegant building, which you
can recognize by its green tiles, is surrounded by an immense ornamental
lake. Marrakshi families come here to enjoy this cool spot during heat
waves.
Relaxed Marrakesh
When you arrive back in the "red" city, you can enjoy an ice cream, a pastry or a cool drink in one of the establishments in Guéliz, the modern part of Marrakesh. Luxury shops,
banks, tearooms and cafés; the "red" city knows how to reconcile its
prestigious past with contemporary dynamism. Marrakesh is a city full of
life and enthusiasm as its omnipresent dynamism shows. The traveller
will be charmed by his finds, encounters, strolls and picturesque
souvenirs. His only regret is his melancholy as his departure
approaches. However, he can then dream of coming back to enjoy the mild
moonlit nights on a terrace again
