As an American exploring the vibrant city of Marrakech, you’re in for a sensory overload of colors, aromas, and sounds. Nestled at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech is a melting pot of cultures, blending Berber, Arab, and French influences. Here are the top 10 experiences to make your visit unforgettable:

Have you ever dreamt of traversing the vast expanse of the desert under the star-studded sky, surrounded by the whispers of sand dunes? Look no further than the mesmerizing Merzouga Desert in Morocco, where an unforgettable adventure awaits on the back of a camel.

Tucked away at the foot of the Jbilet mountains, overlooking the sprawling palm groves and the majestic Atlas Mountains, lies a haven of botanical wonder – the Thiemann Cactus Garden. Steeped in history and nurtured by a family’s passion for horticulture, this garden is a testament to perseverance, love for nature, and the beauty of Morocco’s landscape.

With its moon-like waves of mountains akin to the dunes of the Sahara, the Agafay desert is a nugget on the outskirts of Marrakech. Very close and yet very exotic, these wide-open desertic spaces lend themselves to glamping in the style of the great expeditions of yesteryear, and to Zen or sporting activities. A 100% oxygen getaway.
