In Marrakech, you can also visit many palaces and riads that will take you back to the magical oriental life and, in these riads and palaces, you will certainly be touched by the incredible elegance and skill of the masterful local craftsmen, who have contributed enormously to make them perfect architectural masterpieces.

Marrakech is also full of many exciting natural spaces, such as Oukaimeden, which is an amazing ski resort that will give you the chance to practice innumerable mountain sports.
