Marrakech Riad - Holidays in Marrakesh

When you stay at Marrakech Riad, you get the complete experience of what Morocco is all about. This is why choosing the right accommodation when you holiday in Morocco is important. The right place to stay can make all the difference in your overall experience.

If you take holiday in Marrakesh, your time is precious. You want to be able to get the most of your visit while you're there and this is why you might want to plan your stay ahead of time as much as possible. When you learn about and plan the activities that you will do, it's not all set in stone. You can improvise and make some changes once you arrive but having a plan will save you time and keep you prepared for what's next.

Marrakesh Riad staff is happy to help you plan your reservations and help you make the most of your holiday. They can help you with great activities such as:

· Hamman
· Souks
· Golf
· Cookery

The Hamman is part of traditional Medina living. It involves a lot of water, sweat and usually a massage just before cleaning with traditional kis or a coarse glove. In the spirit of communal Medina living and because many people did not have showers in their homes until very recently, Hamman remains as a tradition of the culture and the people.

Another great activity is the Marrakech Souks. This is something to see either with a guide or even on your own. For centuries craftsmen and merchants have congregated in specialist souks including areas for metalworkers, leatherworkers, dyers, carpets, spices, traditional medicines and many others. You can see this tradition alive still today.

There was a time when the persistent attention of hustlers and self appointed guides made it difficult for many, especially tourists to explore and enjoy the Souks. Today the whole area is effectively policed by specialist Tourist Brigade Police and tour guides are licensed.

Then of course, there is golf. You can enjoy one of the greatest games on earth in one of the most beautiful places on earth. The Marrakech Riad hotels in the Medina are nearby some of the best golf courses in Morocco.

Our Marrakech Riad Hotels in the Medina are the perfect base for a Golfing holiday. There are three outstanding 18-hole par 72 courses within 30 minutes of the Ryad in Marrakech. Green fees are typically between £20 and £40, making it an affordable addition to your holiday.

You can choose from:

· The Royal
· The Amelkis
· The Palmoaraie

Or you can try to find time to visit all three while you're here, especially if you really love to golf. Staff at the Marrakesh Riad will also be there to help you book reservations for these golf courses if you need the assistance.

During a certain time each year, there are also cookery events that you can enjoy. Taste great Moroccan foods, take a cookery course and more.

You can also enjoy excursions from Marrakesh. Marrakesh is a fantastic base from which to explore central Morocco. An incredible variety of experiences is available even within a comfortable one day trip. You can travel to:

· Atlas
· Essaouira

Keep this in mind when enjoying holidays in Marrakesh and you can create memories that are sure to last a lifetime.
