It is known for its beautiful architecture, rich history, and cultural diversity. The city has a population of over one million people and is home to numerous museums, art galleries, and historic landmarks. We'll be visiting the Chellah, a beautiful fortress that sits above Rabat's entrance. Inside its walls, there's a lovely garden filled mostly with wildflowers. Then, we'll move on to the Tour Hassan and the Mausoleum of Mohamed V. Finally, we'll head to the enchanting Oudayas area, where young artists gather.

We will be taken by our experienced guide to major historical monuments before going onto the famous souks where we will see everything from exquisitely embroidered shoes and belts to every type of spice, woodwork, brass and copper-work. You will also have the chance to go with a personal shopper to the artisans workshops themselves to purchase clothes, shoes and homewares that are impossible to find at home.

Our home whilst in Marrakesh is the stunning Villa des Orangers, a Relais & Chateaux property that is a calm haven within the busyness of the Medina. Our farewell dinner will be held by the pool in this suburb Riad.
