Discover Marrakech, the Magical Pink City

Spend an unforgettable day in Marrakesh. Bask in the city’s rose-tinted glow and explore its rich history dating back over 1,000 years.

Explore the magical rose-colored city of Marrakesh, Morocco’s original cultural hub. Founded in 1070, Marrakesh is a door to ancient Morocco. You’ll start your journey with a panoramic drive to the foothills of the Atlas Mountains to marvel at 12th-century Moorish monuments, tour the Bahia Palace, and even see where the sultan kept his Harem. End the day with lunch in Jemaa al-Fnaa Square where you’ll mingle with soothsayers, acrobats, and snake charmers before heading back to the pier.
