The Moroccan city of Marrakech is one of the country’s most important cities. Founded in 1062, it has grown from humble beginnings to become a major centre of trade and commerce. It has also gained a reputation in recent years as a first-class visitor destination. Tourists love its exotic atmosphere, its history and its visitor attractions. It’s a city that many people dream about visiting, and at eDreams, we specialise in helping to make those dreams a reality. If you’re considering a trip to the city, our flight and hotel deals offer terrific value and we can provide an excellent package holiday to Marrakech. Starting with a flight from London to Marrakech or a flight from Manchester to Marrakech, you can soon be on your way to your pre-booked, high quality hotel and a great adventure in one of North Africa’s premier destinations.
The flight to Marrakech from the UK takes just over three and a half hours. No visa is required if you have a British passport and intend to have a holiday in Marrakech lasting no longer than three months. Other passport holders should check with any Moroccan consulate regarding entry conditions that apply to them. If you take any prescription drugs with you, ensure that you carry them in the original packaging and have a copy of the doctor’s prescription.
Car hire is available in Marrakech and can be very useful for seeing more of the city and beyond. You’ll need your full UK driving licence and an International Driving Permit (IDP). You can apply for an IDP from any British Post Office. Take advantage of our excellent all inclusive holiday packages and enjoy the magic of Marrakech in style and comfort.
Marrakech has mild winters and warm summers with plenty of sunny days throughout the year. Temperatures in January, the coolest month, range from 43°F to 65°F, while in July, the hottest and driest month, temperatures range from 68°F to 98°F. As our flight and hotel deals are available all year, simply choose when you’d like to book a package holiday to Marrakech, and we’ll arrange it to suit you.
One reason for Marrakech’s popularity as a visitor destination is its great diversity. Mediaeval landmarks, timeless markets, modern facilities, and the surrounding natural environment are all here. Here are a few suggestions of things to do, but you’ll also enjoy many pleasant surprises as you discover the city’s hidden gems for yourself:
With so much to keep you occupied in Marrakech, you’ll probably wish you had booked a longer holiday in Marrakech from our all inclusive holiday packages – but there’s always next time.
If you want to get out of the city for day trips, you’ll find yourself spoilt for choice on things to do. You can take a day trip to Ouzoud Waterfall, the highest waterfall in North Africa, or visit the spectacular Atlas mountains that range from Morocco all the way to Tunisia. Hot-air balloon trips over the Atlas mountains are also available if you’re feeling adventurous. A camel ride at the edge of the Sahara Desert might seem tame after that, but it’s available and worth doing if only to boast that you’ve crossed the Sahara on a camel (no need to mention it’s just a tiny part of it, within sight of the city). Our excellent flight and hotel deals make it all possible and your package holiday to Marrakech and its fascinating surrounding areas will be a wonderful experience.
Marrakech is famous for its exquisite blends of spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, saffron, pepper and more. Tanjia marrakshia is just one of many local dishes. Comprising of beef slow-cooked in a traditional oven, it’s delicious and very popular. Moroccan ghee, called ‘smen’ is often used in Moroccan cuisine for basting many foods to give a distinctive texture and flavour. A delicious dessert commonly served in Marrakech is chebakia, which are cookies with sesame seeds. Another is cheesecake with dates. With our discount holidays and flight and hotel to Marrakesh deals, you can explore and enjoy all the culinary delights of Marrakech, as well as the exciting sights and sounds of the city.
