Marrakech, gateway to the Atlas and Sahara
History & Soul of Marrakech

Marrakech, gateway to the Atlas and Sahara

Caravans, soldiers, merchants, travellers: Marrakech was born of movement and still lives by it.

Historical context

South, the Atlas; beyond, oasis and Sahara. North, plain and Atlantic. Marrakech links these worlds.

Why it matters today

An excursion to Agafay, Ourika or the Atlas places you directly in that geography.

What to notice on site

From a rooftop on clear days, the snow-capped peaks remind us Marrakech sits on the edge of the South.
