Marrakech just became easier to fly to. Here’s why you should give it a chance…

With its warming sun, sensational scents, energetic avenues and intriguing sounds, Marrakech has been opened up by British Airways

From the Medina, a cultural icon with its variety of stalls and markets, to the stunning monolith of the Koutoubia Mosque, Marrakech is a striking city. The Bahia Palace, historic Saadian Tombs and oasis of the Agdal Gardens are all beckoning, tempting you to pack your bags and head to the airport — and British Airways have just made it a lot easier for you.

Now, you can fly to the Moroccan city from Heathrow directly — four new weekly flights introduced in addition to the airline’s Gatwick offering. And, what’s more, British Airways are offering three nights at the 5* Mandarin Oriental Marrakech through their holidays service, from £1249 per person when you travel between January 7 to January 30.

And it’ll be a break to remember. Ride camels, wander through the city and watch the locals cook and create. Perfect the art of haggling to get the best price for a traditional tagine dish, and then purify yourself in a relaxing Hammam.

The Mandarin Oriental will only add to your experience. Lying in 20 hectares of fragrant gardens and gnarly olive groves, the hotel is a five-star luxury resort only minutes from the city centre. With excellent facilities and world-class dining, they offer the perfect compliment to your ultimate Moroccan escape.

So, with the Atlas Mountains as a backdrop, Marrakech is an oasis of luxury and cultural adventure. Your senses will tingle with excitement as soon as you step off the plane and keep buzzing with dazzling, frazzling fervour until you sadly head home. What are you waiting for?

Above offer includes Euro Traveller return flights from Heathrow and accommodation with breakfast. Book by December 14. For reservations visit ba.com/marrakech or call 0344 493 0125
