MARRAKECH, THE MOST FASCINATING CITY OF MOROCCO.

Marrakech, located at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, is the most exotic city in Morocco, making it the country’s main tourist attraction.

Marrakech is known as the Red City because of the color of its buildings. In 2001, UNESCO declared the square Djamaa el Fna, Oral Heritage of Humanity and is one of the busiest squares in Africa and the world. Everything in Marrakech revolves around DJamaa el Fna. Many people gather in this public space, filling it with colour and culture: musicians, storytellers, snake charmers, dancers, dentists, fruit juice sellers, acrobats, letter writers, water carriers, medicinal herb sellers. . . At dusk the square is filled with food stalls lit by hundreds of lights and as night falls, an infinite number of people gather to eat. From Djemaa el Fna square we access the Medina or old city. A labyrinth of narrow streets full of palaces, markets, mosques, domes and minarets.

The entire Medina of Marrakech has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.

THE DESERT, A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE!

From Marrakech we cross the Atlas Mountains and take you to the small village of Merzouga, located at the foot of the dunes and known as the Pearl of the Moroccan Desert. The dunes of Merzouga will captivate you by their great height and the orange color of their sand. Climbing its high dunes and contemplating the sunrise and sunset is, without a doubt, an unforgettable experience.

Another attraction of the Moroccan desert is to follow the famous route of the Paris-Dakar rally. In Ramlia Tours we are good connoisseurs of this route and also expert drivers in the desert. With 4×4 vehicles, we will follow the old track of the rally, passing through beautiful desert landscapes: dunes, hamadas … to reach spectacular oasis of palm trees in the middle of nowhere.
