Morocco is a country with diverse landscapes ranging from arid Sahara desert in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Where the country meets the Atlantic Ocean, at the furthest point south, the landscape is beautiful throughout Morocco with all the vast plains of deep gorges. With the unique landscape between a diverse climate of extreme cold in the mountains and high areas, still warm temperate weather in the resort and coastal areas, perfect for a luxury holiday. Morocco is the perfect place for a luxury getaway:
Marrakech
Marrakech is a beautiful city with its terracotta buildings set against a background of striking the snow peak mountains of the Atlas. It is a maze of culture with beautiful gardens and palace complexes that dot the minaret of the Koutoubia mosque as a centerpiece.
Marrakech is famous for its souks and bargain hunters will be in awe of the selection of stalls offering everything from carpets to ornate carvings. Once night falls, the Djemaa el Fna market in the old part of the city known as Medina becomes a carnival of fire, acrobats, snake charmers and traditional dishes. You can even stay in and around this area traditionally restored houses of the city known as riads name being dragged through the maze of narrow streets.
Contrary to cultural diversity and winding, narrow, old labyrinth of the medina, is the new town of Marrakech. Here you'll find continental boulevards, a wide selection of designer boutiques and a culture like any other cosmopolitan city. Marrakech is the ideal base for exploring or ideal place to start your holiday in Morocco.
Atlas
The Atlas Mountains are the ideal place to relax after the hustle and bustle of Marrakech, with the possibility of further exploration or relaxation. The vast Kasbah Tamadot in the foothills near Asni is the ideal place for both. It was discovered by Sir Richard Branson who was so captivated by what he transformed into a luxury residence and character.
Kasbah Tamadot enjoys a location that offers an ideal base for exploring the natural environment, wildlife and landscape and enjoy the culture of the surrounding villages and Berbers who inhabit the mountains. Serenity and silence of the mountains coupled with luxury retreats in fact remain available also for total relaxation.
