The Oasis Lodges of Marrakech

As in 2024, the Oasis Lodges is our official partner, host of the racing village of our queen stage in Morocco. It is located a few minutes from the center of Marrakech and a stone’s throw from Marrakech-Menara international airport. This green setting of several hectares is home to lodges with North African-inspired architecture and is made up of a maze of gardens imposing a gentle refuge with a deliciously exotic atmosphere. You can relax there before or after the race, by one of its swimming pools and eat in one of its delicious restaurants.
