Marrakech for the Holidays

- Published: November 16, 2009

Marrakech is a wonderful destination for the holidays, offering visitors exhilarating scenery with a variety of outdoor adventures, cultural events, jeep tours and shopping excursions.

One of Marrakech's leading attractions is Souk, which welcomes about one million shoppers each year. With more than 300 specialty boutiques and exclusive artisan galleries as well as holiday festivities, shopping becomes a joyful revelation of fabulous art and distinctive gifts around every corner.

Festivals…
The end of the year is a very active period in Marrakech. On 4 December the 9th Edition of the Marrakech Film Festival begins and will end on 12 December. The famous Place Djemaa El Fna, where you usually find snake-charmers, story-tellers and other spectacles, will be transformed into an open-air cinema.
This is followed by the 4th edition of the Marrakech International Laugh Festival. It will take place from the 18th till 20 December at the Royal Theater. This meeting of the world humor will be sponsored by Mohamed El Khiyari, the famous Moroccan comedian.

Aid Aladha
In this Aid... Men, women, and children are expected to dress in their finest clothing to perform Aid prayer (Salatu'l-`id) in any Mosque. This is a very special time where families come together in peace, harmony and to share. We wish all a happy Aid Aladha and encourage those that have never experienced it to come to Marrakech and join us all.

Ski Atlas
Marrakech is surrounded by the Atlas Mountain, the nature offers all its beauty to the red city. In the summer, the city center is crowded and hot but in the winter, the summits of the Atlas cover themselves with a white coat. Here, the end of the year is announced and the period of ski begins. Have you ever ski on the highest (2,600m) ski resort in Africa? Then allow Terre Resort & Spa to invite you to experience it. During this special period, we offer special packages to ski in Oukaimeden which is only 75 km from Marrakech. Bring in the new decade in true style and beauty.

When you purchase three consecutive nights between Monday, November 2 and Thursday, December 17, Terre Resort and Spa will include an additional night at no charge! In addition to enjoying a three-night stay for the price of two, guests will receive complimentary transportation to and from the city, complimentary breakfast daily as well all applicable taxes are included. Nightly rates for this offer start from 140 Euros, based on double occupancy.
