Marrakech is Morocco's top tourist destination, as well as one of the most fascinating and exciting cities in the world. It is exotic, inexpensive and friendly, and is full of history and things to do. A city break in Marrakech will certainly provide you with countless unforgettable memories of this charming and mysterious city, where tradition, modernity, magic and charm will take you to a unique and extraordinary universe.

No visit to Marrakech is complete without a trip to the city's sprawling labyrinthine souks. Everything is on sale here, ranging from hand-woven rugs and jewellery to camel-skin bongos and dried chameleon lucky charms.

Once you have arrived in Marrakech you will find that there is so much to do and the perfect place to start your city break is at the Djemaa el Fna. This is a lively square and market place in the old part of the city and is popular place for tourists and locals alike. It is really lively during the day and the night; expect to see snake charmers, musicians, dancers, story tellers, monkey acts and whole lot more and if you get peckish or thirsty you can go to one of the many food and drink stalls that line the square.

Djamma El Fna - This is the large market square in the centre of Medina, the old quarter of Marrakech. This square is buzzing day and night. You will find Moroccan delicacies, exotic spices and traditional leatherwork. Don't be surprised to see the odd acrobat, snake charmer or belly dancer as you make your way through the square. Be sure to try the delicious coconut cookies you will find being sold by local women. The square is surrounded by some excellent cafes, so if the action gets too much for you can relax and take a break.

Marrakech is a wonderful, fascinating city filled with exotic sights and smells and tastes. And with proper planning, it doesn't have to break your travel budget.
