Marrakech
A City of Magic, Adventure, and Luxury
Discover the magic, contrasts, and timeless allure of Marrakech – where every journey tells a story.
"In Marrakech, every corner whispers stories of tradition and modernity"
I’ve visited Marrakech three times, and each visit has been a new and exciting adventure. Whether it was a romantic trip with my husband, a lively birthday celebration with my friends, or a family getaway with my kids, Marrakech has something unique to offer for every occasion.
This city perfectly combines tradition and modernity. The old Medina, with its narrow, winding streets and vibrant souks, stands in contrast to the new city, where modern architecture, stylish cafés, and a bustling nightlife thrive. It’s this blend that makes Marrakech a perfect destination for any type of traveler
| My Highlight: The Royal Mansour Hotel One of my most unforgettable experiences in Marrakech was staying at the Royal Mansour Hotel. This extraordinary hotel is more than just a place to stay – it’s an oasis of luxury and craftsmanship. 80% of the hotel is handcrafted, and you can feel that attention to detail in every corner. Each villa and room at the Royal Mansour is a masterpiece, with intricate mosaics and the finest details. One thing that stood out to me was the personalized stationery in the rooms – envelopes and postcards adorned with my own name in gold. These thoughtful touches truly made the experience unforgettable. The hotel also creates stunning, unique decorations for special occasions like birthdays and Valentine’s Day. The service is flawless – from the Bentley airport transfer to the exclusive amenities in the villas, every detail is taken care of. The hotel’s location is also ideal for exploring the city. In just a few minutes, you can walk to the lively Medina and immerse yourself in the heart of Marrakech. |
"Luxury is in the details, and Marrakech perfects them all."
The Fascinating Old Town
The Medina of Marrakech is the soul of the city and an absolute must-see for visitors. Here, you can lose yourself in a labyrinth of narrow streets, vibrant markets, and an endless array of sights and sounds.
I’ll never forget the pomegranate juice stands, where fresh juice is pressed right in front of you. While the hygiene might not always meet everyone’s standards, the taste is absolutely worth it.
The souks are a paradise for lovers of handmade goods, from rugs and lamps to jewelry and spices. Wandering through the streets is a sensory experience like no other.

Adventures in the Desert
One of the highlights outside the city is the desert, which is only a few hours away from Marrakech. It’s the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, offering unforgettable experiences:
- Camel rides, for that true nomadic adventure
- Quad biking, for those who prefer a faster pace
- Luxurious tent accommodations, many of which are designed like boutique hotels with comfortable beds, delicious meals, and even private bathrooms
Djemaa el-Fna
The Heart of Marrakech
The famous Djemaa el-Fna, the main square of Marrakech, is a place that engages all your senses. During the day, it’s filled with vendors, performers, and snake charmers playing their flutes to make the cobras "dance." At night, the square transforms into a culinary wonderland with food stalls and an electric atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else.

A Nightlife Full of Shows and Music
Marrakech’s nightlife left a lasting impression on me. It’s not only French-inspired but also incredibly lively and diverse. One of my favorite spots was the Matroschka club, a fantastic place to dance the night away.
But even outside of the clubs, the city’s nightlife is something special. Many bars and restaurants host live shows featuring incredible musicians, especially drummers and percussionists. These artists create an energy that is impossible to resist. The combination of music, dance, and singing makes Marrakech’s nightlife truly unforgettable.
