Details on the area surrounding the property/accommodation |
|
| |
Snake charmers, hidden palaces and winding alleyways are what give Marrakech its wonderful exotic feel. There are so many places to explore in this city that you may well decide to stay within the city itself during your stay. But if you want to explore further afield, then there’s lots on offer – from mountain trekking, to visits to the coast. The owner lives in the riad and will organise restaurant reservations, excursions outside Marrakech and within Morocco, car hire.........you ask, and she will provide! Tennis 5km away. Horseriding 10km away. |

Thank you very much for all the consideration and care that have made our trip to Marrakech and our time in your magical riad so memorable. Najia's pigeon pastilla and chicken tagines were hugely enjoyable and high points especially for me. Love and regards from all of us.
