Itinerary

Open Panel

Duration: 5 days

Day 1: Arrive in Marrakech. Transfer to the Riad Kniza, a sumptuous townhouse with beautiful courtyards, an indoor pool and spa, and stunningly decorated rooms. Kniza is also known for its excellent Moroccan food.
Day 2: Th is morning your English-speaking guide will take you on a city tour to some of the main sites, and to orientate you for your stay. In the afternoon you’re free to explore alone.
Days 3-4: You have two days to soak up all the sights and sounds of Marrakech. We’d recommend taking a horse-drawn carriage to the Majorelle Gardens, visiting the Djemma el Fna (main square) in the evening to see all the entertainers, and do some serious shopping perhaps?! There are some excellent spas here too, so chill out and learn to love Marrakech.
Day 5: Transfer to airport for your flight home.

Pricing guidelines for Morocco

Open Panel

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £200 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). We offer flights with Royal Air Maroc which has daily flights to Marrakech as well as good connections to other cities.

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:
	under £50
	£50 to £75
	£75 to £100
	£100 to £150
	Over £150

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
