Beyond the Ochre Walls: The Best Day Trips from Marrakech
Marrakech has a way of sweeping you up in a beautiful, dizzying whirlwind. For the first few days, you are perfectly content to get lost in the labyrinth of the Medina, drinking sweet mint tea on rooftop terraces, and watching the snake charmers dance under the setting sun at Jemaa el-Fnaa. But as the desert heat bounces off the terracotta walls, a familiar itch begins. You look up, past the minarets, and see the snow-dusted peaks of the Atlas Mountains calling your name.
