About Marrakech
With our direct flights to Marrakech, the colourful souks and buzzing medinas of Morocco are just three and a half hours away. And if you travel with us, you’ll have a choice of three different UK departure points – our international flights to Marrakech run from London Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester. After you’ve touched down at Marrakech Menara Airport, a 15-minute drive will take you to the centre of Morocco’s fourth largest city. Here, you’ll find Jemaa el-Fna – Africa’s biggest square. This bustling part of town is ripe with dancers, story tellers and potion sellers. In the evenings, benches are set up around the edges, so you can sit down and tuck into local street food, like plates of couscous and traditional brochette kebabs. If you follow the narrow lanes off of the square, you’ll find souks where market stalls are loaded with piles of spices, polished silver lanterns and delicately woven carpets. If you’re searching for some calm amidst the chaos, then head to the green spaces on the outskirts of the city. Holidays to Marrakech aren’t complete without visits to the Menara gardens and the Jardin Majorelle, where the emerald green grass is embellished with bright blooms that somehow withstand Morocco’s heat. The hotels here follow suit, with manicured lawns carpeting the grounds around their terracotta-tinged buildings. Travelling to Morocco can be a real bargain and, unlike at the souks, you won’t have to barter for a deal – just head to our Flight Deals page to find our cheap flights to Marrakech.
