Grand Prix Hassan II: When Travel Retail Meets Elite Tennis in Marrakech

The Grand Prix Hassan II in Marrakech brings together top tennis players from around the world, but the tournament is far more than a sporting spectacle. It showcases the Red City and everything Morocco has to offer—hospitality, craftsmanship and unique sensations. For travellers, this prestigious event is also a chance to experience another strength of the country: its travel retail.

Competition Meets Discovery

While players exchange rallies on the clay court, visitors arrive in Marrakech from across the globe. Many come through Marrakech–Menara Airport, one of the seven airports operated by Kettani Group, Morocco’s leading travel retail operator. From the moment they step off the plane, they feel the warmth of the city: colourful boutiques, the aroma of spices and friendly smiles that set the tone for their stay.

At the heart of Kettani Group’s mission is a commitment to celebrating Moroccan craftsmanship. In partnership with local cooperatives and artisans, the company offers authentic products in its airport shops—traditional teas, embroidered cushions, fashion accessories and more. These items tell a story of skills handed down through generations.

Extending the Emotion of the Tournament

For many spectators, the tournament becomes a memory to cherish. Sipping mint tea on a café terrace or buying a Berber rug before their flight home—these small rituals extend the experience. Kettani Group plays a key role in connecting these moments with travellers. Its Trésors El Mamoun and Kounouz boutiques offer carefully curated gifts and souvenirs that capture the spirit of the Grand Prix and the soul of Marrakech. Whether it’s a handcrafted lantern, a silk scarf or a tea set, each item helps you relive the unique atmosphere of the competition.

A Bridge Between Sport, Culture and Travel

The Grand Prix Hassan II isn’t just about athletic prowess—it’s a celebration of modern Morocco. By providing travellers with high-quality travel retail, Kettani Group ensures everyone can take a piece of this culture home. Whether you came for the tennis or to explore the treasures of the medina, the experience continues all the way to your hand luggage.
