Holiday rentals in Marrakech-Essaouira

Marrakech and Essaouira are just 150km apart but couldn’t be more different. Both have extraordinary charm, and if you have a chance to visit both, then do. At the heart of Marrakech is the Djemaa el Fna square. The city is defined by this open space, situated in the centre of the city, which is a thriving scene at any time of day. A riad in Morocco's Marrakech offer the chance to absorb its unique rhythm. By day it is little more than a market with the odd street entertainer thrown in for good measure. However, by night it resonates to a wholly different beat. It becomes a carnival of snake charmers, acrobats, clowns, musicians and storytellers. There is nowhere else like it in the whole of Morocco, perhaps in the whole of Africa. A riad in Morocco doesn't come much more atmospheric than with the echoes of the muezzin drifting through the window on the morning breeze. The old town, or medina, is a journey through the Marrakech of yesteryear. A holiday house in Morocco within the medina could be a riad, a town-house built around a central courtyard giving on to the open sky. Essaouira on the other hand has never really become a tourist trap and is perfect for ‘escape from it all’ holiday rentals and for finding your perfect riad in Morocco. It’s narrow streets mean that there are few cars and it’s curving beach entices people who want to try their hand at kitesurfing and windsurfing. This town, where Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley are reputed to have hung out, is the perfect spot to unwind after a busy few days in Marrakech - a riad in Morocco will be both exotic and magical.
