DirectRooms.com – Participate in Marrakech Art Fair between 30 September and 3 October 2011

This is the second event of its kind and there are more than 45 international galleries taking part in the fair, all showcasing the talents of local artists. Since last year, more than 20 new galleries have joined the fair. All types of art will be displayed during the event and for visitors that wish to learn more, there will also be a series of workshops and lectures.

The venue is easily reached by public transport and the event is being organised by Art Holding Morocco. Further information on the full programme can be obtained by contacting the organisers directly via their website.

Marrakech is a bustling city all year round so when it comes to events such as the Art Fair hotel rooms can become scarce. Lek Boonlert, head of marketing for DirectRooms.com, has suggested that anyone wishing to travel and stay in Marrakech during the time of the Art Fair should book their hotel rooms in advance. "Marrakech city centre hotels are likely to become filled to capacity very quickly as events such as this tends to be extremely popular. Advance booking of any rooms required can help to avoid disappointment upon arrival into the city."

Public transport may not be as regular as in some other major cities, so staying as close to the venue as possible is advised.
