Reasons To
Visit Morocco

  • Berber Culture

    The Berbers are the indigenous people of Morocco. During the Arab conquest they retreated into their mountain strongholds and took refuge in the inhospitable deserts of the south. This is where their culture persists, based around fortified dwellings; a strong sense of community and an ability to cope with almost any hardship.

  • Desert

    The Sahara washes into Morocco at its western extremities, and the Erg Chebbi sand sea is the best place to see this. Passing first through dramatic ridges of blackened rock, the going becomes sandier and sandier, until you're eventually confronted with towering dunes and the best sunsets in Morocco.

  • Kasbahs

    A kasbah is a fortified village, made from traditional pisé, or mud brick. Their distinctive towers, with ornate windows, are a dominant feature of the Moroccan landscape, none more so than along the Dades and Draa Valleys in the south: some have been converted into hotels, so you can even spend the night in your very own kasbah.

  • Medinas

    At the heart of any old Moroccan city will be the medina, the vital core encircled by walls punctuated by ornamental gates. It's in the medina that you'll nearly always find the souqs, and there will probably be a number of old palaces too: some of these are now hotels, some are museums, while others are abandoned and decaying gracefully.

  • Mountains

    The High Atlas are home to Jebel Toubkal, at over 4,100m the highest mountain in north Africa and a challenging climb. But the Atlas mountains also offer gentler hikes, perfect just to appreciate the scenery, the cool, clean air, and to enjoy Berber hospitality in remote villages.

  • Souqs & Shopping

    The souqs of Marrakesh are the most famous in the country, but almost every town has its souq. Those of Fez seem endless and labyrinthine, whilst those in Taroudant are much more compact and sell the simple goods that the local, rural population need. It's unlikely you'll escape from Morocco without doing a bit of shopping at some point!

Dar Zemora

Marrakesh

This wonderful retreat is located around 15 minutes outside of Marrakesh, in the Palmeraie region of the city. A discreet country house-style hotel, it is decorated with typical Moroccan character and some chic contemporary features, all lovingly conceived by the English owners, Paul & Lindsay Kentish.

Each room and suite in the house is individually designed and unique, so that the final effect works perfectly. There are three comfortable rooms and two extremely spacious, stylish suites in the main house, which also boasts an enticing library, dining room and living room with open fire.

The pavilion is a separate building with two large ensuite bedrooms and a private pool. All offer wonderful views of the verdant garden, where you can have a leisurely lunch and take a dip in the pool or visit the bird terrace.

One more building houses a hammam and massage rooms, all of which makes Dar Zemora an ideal place to relax at the beginning or end of your journey.
