Our home base
Marrakech, the Red City
Souks, palaces and gardens, and Jemaa el-Fna coming alive at dusk. Our team lives here, and almost every journey starts here.
Marrakech is where we live and where most of our journeys begin. Behind the pink ramparts of the medina, the city is a maze of souks selling lanterns, leather and spices, with quiet riads and palaces hidden behind plain doors.
What to see
- Jemaa el-Fna, the main square, best at sunset when the food stalls, musicians and storytellers take over.
- Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs, the finest examples of Moroccan craftsmanship in the city.
- The Koutoubia Mosque, whose 12th-century minaret is the city's landmark.
- Majorelle Garden, the blue garden once owned by Yves Saint Laurent.
