Marrakech, Morocco | Schools Worldwide

Starting or finishing your trip with some time in the colourful and busy city of Marrakech is a must. Groups will be enthralled by the musicians and acrobats in the Djemma el Fna and will relish the opportunity for some bartering in the souks of the central medina.

Bright and brilliant, Marrakech is lively and full of action. From the bustling markets and souks, to the stunning architecture of the mosques and ancient ramparts, there is always something to see and somewhere new to explore.

Marrakech is also famed for its national gardens – Menara, Agdal, and Majorelle – which are some of the most beautiful and relaxing in the city. Students can spend time experiencing the rich history of the palaces, or perhaps simply embrace the culture and cuisine with a trip through the stalls and cafés.
