ATTRACTIONS
TERRE covers almost 12 acres of land in the stunning Palmeraie Desert just 7 kilometers from the center of Marrakech.
TERRE offers a variety of excursions to give guests a deeper experience of the many aspects of Moroccan life. These activities include private shopping tours to the souks (Moroccan markets) daily as well as exclusive showings of goods on the property. Day trips are also offered to the Atlas Mountains for skiing and hiking and to Essaouira for beach enjoyment. Exploration of the Moroccan terrain is provided by horseback, bike tours, All Terrain Vehicles, and Jeep rides. Bespoke private excursions can also be designed for individual guest's enjoyment.
To experience this unbelievable city filled with gardens, souks, art and culture, we have designed private tours and treks which highlight the city and surrounding area.
Feel like horseback riding on one of the finest horses in the area? How about a no-limits atv or jeep ride through the desert? Or a bike ride through one of the red citys famous gardens? Whatever you desire, we can make all the arrangements.
The hotel also provides the ideal base for further exploration of Morocco. With the snow-capped high atlas mountains only 75 kilometers away, you can head down the ski slopes for a day or, if you'd rather, enjoy the ocean sun in the well-kept secret of essaouira only an hour away.
Apart from the private showings at earth, Marrakech has an abundance of shopping options including a number of very special antique shops and the world-famous souks.
Shopping and Bargaining tips:
Bargaining is not just common in the souks of Marrakech; it is actually expected. Bargaining is an art form learned over time, but a thumb rule is to start really low and work up to not more than 50% of the price quoted by the seller. When shopkeepers see tourists, they tend to raise their asking price quite a bit and tend not to budge, so be prepared to drive a hard bargain. Quite often the bargaining is part of the selling experience for the shopkeepers and something they enjoy doing. Shopping is a leisurely pursuit and negotiation is part of the experience. Be prepared to explain why you feel the price is too high.
Shopping
Now that you have mastered your bargaining skills. Marrakech is the hub of Morocco's tanning industry and you're sure to find some great bargains in leather goods here. Quality is superlative and there's plenty of variety too. There are even products made from camel leather, like handbags and jackets. A more unusual souvenir you can take away from your trip is some locally produced cactus silk. This 'silk' is made from the cellulose of plants and is a type of rayon. Since rayon can retain dyes well, the choice of colors is mind boggling. You can pick up handbags, scarves, bedspreads, throws, tablecloths and more. |
