MOROCCO
Marrakech is great for a citytrip. To get a real feel for the city stay in a hotel or b&b in one of the ancient buildings like a Riad in the old city. Relax on a covered rooftop terrace when you’re shopping in the Souk and cool down with Moroccan mint tea. In the evening a must visit is the Jemaa el Fna market, famous for its food stalls.

We can definitely recommend you to have dinner at Pepe Nero with its Italian and Moroccan cuisine.

Souk Kafé in Marrakech
In the summer time it’s too hot to stay out in the sun for very long. That’s why most rooftop terraces in Marrakech are covered. That way you can still relax outside, and as an added bonus, enjoy the panoramic view of the old city. After you’ve finished your bargain hunt for tea pots, lamps or candles it’s a good idea to relax at the Souk Kafé for lunch. Order Harira for starters, followed by a selection of Moroccan salads or a veggie tajine. Read more »
Jemaa el Fna in Marrakech
The famous square Jemaa el Fna is the heart of the Medina. During the day it isn’t that busy, but there is still plenty to see of the daily hustle and bustle from one of the terraces surrounding the square. In the evening you will find the square packed with hundreds of food stalls. Without a doubt it’s a great idea to have dinner at the square at least once during your stay, and buying that meal at the food stall surrounded by the most amount of locals is always a wise choice.

Riad Diana in Marrakech
If you are looking for an authentic place to stay in Marrakech a Riad is a must. Riad Diana is located only a short walk from Jemaa el Fna square, the hart of the Marrakech Medina.

Breakfast, with sweet fresh orange juice, is served on request at the patio or on the terrace. Read more »
