All sports, sun and souvenirs as well
Horse riding, ATV, hot-air ballooning or golf? Even skiing is possible close by…. Each time you come you can find new activities…
Aerial view
Fly high to really take advantage of your stay. This is now possible in Marrakesh. You can now admire the imperial city from the air in a hot-air balloon and, at the same time, observe the stimulating activities available to visitors. Those immense soft green areas? They are the prestigious golf courses which give Marrakesh such an international reputation. Those horses? You are looking at horse riding clubs or the Royal Polo Club. If you are more interested in motor sports, don't worry. Try go-karting or riding an ATV, for example. If you take a trip in a hot-air balloon, you may even see the large crowd trying to finish the annual Marrakesh International Marathon.
Sun in the mountains
The Oukaimeden ski resort is open from Christmas to Easter. It is only 75km from your hotel swimming pool so you could dive in when you come back from the ski runs… What a miracle… You can return to the same mountains in the Summer to admire the Neolithic rock carvings found there.
Trips into the valleys
You can visit the Ourika Valley which is about 30km from Marrakesh: granary for the area, with its fields for different crops laid out like a draughtboard, will often pleasantly surprise you: its waterfalls punctuating the beautiful unspoilt scenery, for example, or the Yagour rock carvings. Asni village, with its very beautiful red kasbah, should be seen. The valley of the same name gives access to some sumptuous gorges. Ouirgane is a very popular spot for Marrakshis. Don't hesitate to take a break for lunch in one of the many restaurants in the area: another opportunity to savour the delicious local cooking.
To remember
Marrakesh, with its continually renewed activities, will allow you to come back from your holiday looking unashamedly well, in great shape and with lots to tell.
