 4. Hotel La Sultana - More Information 
5. Hammam Ziani - A local hammam with basic facilities: rue Riad Zitoun El Jedid, Medina; 8am - 10.30pm daily.
Given the soaring heat of Marrakech, its incredible that within only one hour’s drive you can be in the dramatic snow capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains.
Snow generally falls between February and April each year, which is the peak period for the Oukaïmeden Ski Resort which is located high above the Ourika Valley. In a novel twist, skiers ride by donkey from the bottom of the mountain to the top with their ski and snowboarding equipment, making for a completely unique experience. You can hire whatever equipment you need at the resort.

Marrakech or Marrakesh? Riad, Ryad, Riyad or Riyadh?The city is spelled “Marrakech” in French and commonly use by foreigners except English thats will say ‘Marrakesh’ and Germans say “Marrakesch”. 

Riad sometimes written Ryad Riyad or Riyadh literally means garden, and describes traditional and wonderfully atmospheric Medina houses that open inward to a garden courtyard lending themselves to sensitive conversion to intimate and individual guest house or hotel accommodation.
 

There are many places where you can go quad biking starting from 1 hour to a full day however don’t expect the desert in Marrakech. The best you can hope for is rough terrain, river and scenic berber villages however if you willing to travel 600 Km in the direction to Merzouga South of Marrakech you will find a true desert.

Let’s stay in Marrakech!!! – Even not the same there’s a fantastic quad bike track in the Palmeraie, 15 mins by taxi from the medina. It’s run by Nomade Quad. They organizes hiking tours, camel raids and Quad biking.

Quad Nomad is managed by professionals and they have extensive experience organizing tours for visitors. You may need to book in advanced, and they’ll come and pick you up from your accommodation for no additional charge.
You can also ride quad bikes at Lalla Takerkoust, 35km from Marrakech, where there’s a dam with a huge reservoir with other water sports available in an area that have perfect trails for walking, mountain/quad biking and horse riding.

If you plan to visit Essaouira you must go to Palmaquad, here you will be well looked after safety wise and also you will be riding some massive sand dunes right next to the Atlantic Ocean, on nearly new bikes and the prices are cheaper than in Marrakech.
