Wonderful Testimonials

“The service offered by Wonderful World was excellent- organising everything from our accommodation and transfers, lunches and city tours, to a day trekking in the lower Atlas Mountains. We felt so spoilt as it was just the two of us, trekking with our guide within spectacular scenery. We trekked for 8 hours ending up in a Berber village being shown how to make tagine dishes by a local craftsman. We would definitely recommend both Marrakech and Wonderful World for a break which was not only culturally different, but also very relaxing.”

climate                   

Marrakech has a pleasant climate with hot, sunny summers and mild winters. Summer is very dry with high but not unbearable, temperatures. In winter the weather in Marrakech remains fairly warm to mild during the day, but nights are chilly. Winter in Marrakech is the rainy season, when showers can turn the dusty streets of the old quarter into a mudbath. The most popular months to visit Marrakech are February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December. The season for Atlas hikes is May to October, but those with winter mountaineering experience and equipment might well find a clear, crisp day to tackle an icy peak in January/February.
