Day 1
Arrival in Marrakesh
La Brillante 4*
Sheltered from the liveliness of the city, La Brillante provides a comfortable and luxurious environment. All of these elements—a feminine space, contemporary and traditional art, light, and the subtle scent of jasmine and roses—blend together harmoniously, creating a delicate and calming atmosphere in each individually inspired room.
Overnight: Marrakesh
Day 2
Monumental Guided Tour of Marrakesh
This guided tour of several of Marrakesh's cultural icons starts at the Bahia Palace, moves on to the Saadian Tombs, the Koutoubia Mosque, and finishes at the Jardin Majorelle.
What we love about this day tour is that it takes in so many different elements of Moroccan architecture, culture, history, and colour. This immersive experience will show you yet another side to Marrakesh, beyond the frenetic drama that it is famed for.
Overnight: Marrakesh
Meals included: Breakfast
