A Weekend in Marrakech

We can arrange Marrakesh holidays of any length, but here is a lovely example of a long weekend break.
You could be in Marrakesh by Thursday night. You then have a long weekend to explore the wonderful sights, sounds and souks of this evocative city, and by Monday night you'll be at home wondering when you can next get back to this fantastic country.

Pricing guidelines for Morocco

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 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.
