The ochre walls are home to architectural treasures such as carved fountains, finely crafted cedar wood doors and courtyards adorned with zellij.

We were captivated by this mythical square, which transforms itself throughout the day: in the morning, it welcomes orange juice vendors and snake tamers, while in the evening, it becomes a huge open-air <em>food court<\/em> with stalls selling local cuisine. Traditional storytellers perpetuate the age-old art of the <em>halqa<\/em>, a circle of spectators around the narrator, while <em>Gnaoua<\/em> musicians sound their metal crotales. You can sample local specialities at the numbered stalls, while admiring the acrobats and snake charmers who enliven this unique site, listed as part of humanity&#8217;s oral and intangible heritage. You can also visit the Mus\u00e9e du Patrimoine Immat\u00e9riel de la Place Jemaa El Fna, which reveals all the secrets of the square and its customs.

We were won over by the intense cobalt blue that adorns the buildings, now known worldwide as &#8220;Majorelle blue&#8221;. The garden is home to plant species from 5 continents, including giant bamboos, palms and bougainvillea. You&#8217;ll also discover the Berber Arts Museum, with its remarkable collection of traditional objects. One of the city&#8217;s most interesting museums. We found the scenography superb. We really recommend a visit if you want to understand Berber culture. Last but not least, visit the nearby Mus\u00e9e Yves Saint Laurent, dedicated to the famous couturier who saved this garden from destruction in 1980.       <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-5h6p69T\/0\/NgRC42bR9gCcpN7jH8HCfrH7gjjQzPnFVfBqTfpkq\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-19-L.jpg\" alt=\"Jardin Majorelle - Cobalt blue villa\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Length of visit: 2 to 3 hours for the garden and the 2 museums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Schedules:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Jardin Majorelle<\/strong>: daily, 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mus\u00e9e Pierre Berg\u00e9 des Arts Berber<\/strong>: daily, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mus\u00e9e Yves Saint Laurent<\/strong>: daily except Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More info on the official website: <a href=\"https:\/\/tickets.jardinmajorelle.com\/Visite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access for wheelchair users: the garden and museums are accessible for wheelchair users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prices: 170DH for the garden, 230DH for the garden + Berber Arts Museum and 140DH for the YSL Museum.

Did you know? It&#8217;s the city&#8217;s largest mosque! We admired this architectural masterpiece whose name means &#8220;booksellers&#8217; mosque&#8221;, in reference to the manuscript souk that once surrounded it.  The minaret, decorated with green earthenware and geometric motifs, served as a model for the <a href=\"https:\/\/andalucialovers.com\/cathedrales-andalousie\/#2_Cathedrale_de_Seville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Giralda in Sevilla<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/maroclovers.com\/en\/visit-tower-hassan-mausoleum-rabat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hassan Tower in Rabat<\/a>. You can contemplate the gardens surrounding the mosque, planted with orange and palm trees, offering a haven of peace just a stone&#8217;s throw from the hustle and bustle of Jemaa el-Fna Square. The call to prayer, which resounds five times a day from this emblematic minaret, sets the pace for life in the ochre city. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-ZHFKnSD\/0\/KJDCq2HMR7ZKF8CCd7QnMvR5ZkCVJM4CmT7C28NHt\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-09-L.jpg\" alt=\"Koutoubia Mosque - Gardens\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Important<\/span>: As with the rest of the city&#8217;s mosques, entry is forbidden to non-Muslims. <strong>You&#8217;ll have to be content with observing it from the outside.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tour duration: about 30min<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening hours: gardens open all day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handicapped Access: accessible gardens, level ground<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access: Avenue Mohammed V, 5min walk from Place Jemaa El-Fna<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\" style=\"background-color:#f0e4dd;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse box_planif is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px;\">OUR TIPS FOR RENTING A CAR IN <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">MOROCCO<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compare prices on our preferred platform: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/morocco?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">DiscoverCars<\/a> &#8211; one of the best rated sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not too wide<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A good engine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For more choice, <strong>book early<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column planif-radius-2 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large voiture_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Morocco-all\/Morocco\/i-KDMQCZb\/4\/NXBrCVn8rWSm5NQQ9T5SCqjxhchbDNJ26tPBjGcZS\/S\/P1000664-S.jpg\" alt=\"Driving in Morocco\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns planif_bouton is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/fr\/morocco?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">See available cars &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maroclovers.com\/en\/how-rent-car-morocco-tips-experiences\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15497\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read all our tips<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

We wandered through its richly decorated rooms, admiring the painted cedar wood ceilings, walls adorned with colorful zelliges and courtyards planted with orange trees. The name &#8220;Bahia&#8221; means &#8220;the brilliant&#8221; in Arabic, in homage to the vizier&#8217;s favorite wife. You&#8217;ll marvel at the 1500m\u00b2 courtyard of honor, paved with Carrara marble and surrounded by galleries of finely sculpted columns. The private apartments reveal the refinement of palatial life, with their delicate moucharabiehs and murmuring fountains in every patio. We strongly advise you to take a guided tour to fully understand the place.

We explored these traditional markets organized by trade: the dyers&#8217; souk, where skeins of wool dry in the sun, the babouches souk, with its thousands of colorful shoes, and the spices souk, with its heady scents of saffron and<em> ras el-hanout<\/em>. Here, craftsmen perpetuate ancestral techniques, from copper hammering to natural leather dyeing. You can haggle over hand-woven Berber carpets, wrought-iron lanterns, Fez pottery or chased silver jewelry. The art of negotiation is an integral part of the experience, turning every purchase into an authentic cultural exchange.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-QSsqhwf\/0\/MNkFCJ39FNW9xM8gpzzjCtNdTFLvZKrQv9kfw5xjn\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-01-L.jpg\" alt=\"Souks de Marrakech - Traditional craftsmanship\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Length of visit: 2 to 4 hours, depending on your shopping preferences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening hours: 9am-8pm, closed on Friday mornings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulties and access for disabled people: narrow, crowded streets, difficult with baby carriage or wheelchair<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Admission: free, please bring cash for purchases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access: several entrances from Place Jemaa el-Fna<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#fefefe;margin-top:6%;margin-bottom:6%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\">A LITTLE MORE PATIENCE<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">All the photos, maps, information and addresses you need to make your stay at Maroc a success will soon be available in a single ebook!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Coming soon!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container ebook-radius-waitlist gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\"><div class=\"wp-block-image ebook-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ebooks_CorseNormandie_FR.png\" alt=\"Box Ebook Corsica FR\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

We enjoyed tajines simmered in their earthenware conical dishes, combining tender meats, melting vegetables and dried fruits in unique sweet-savory combinations. Friday couscous, an age-old family tradition, comes in royal versions garnished with seven vegetables. Enjoy pastillas, crispy puff pastries with alternating layers of spicy poultry and sweet almonds sprinkled with cinnamon. Traditional restaurants also offer slow-roasted lamb mechouis and tangia, candied meat dishes cooked in the ashes of hammams. Of course, there are plenty of vegetarian dishes too. Don&#8217;t forget to finish off with a mint tea served with ceremony and almond and honey pastries such as gazelle horns.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-Pk5wGk9\/0\/KmJgwQC9ZdKZnCXqZnLrtkbKMcfx6ZZZBFMhpNmD9\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-27-L.jpg\" alt=\"Moroccan gastronomy - Traditional dishes\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To discover the authentic flavors of Morocco, check out our selection of the <strong>best restaurants in Marrakech<\/strong>!

We strolled through the imposing ruins of this palace, which boasted 360 rooms adorned with Italian marble, onyx and porphyry columns. Although stripped of its riches by the Alawite sultan Moulay Isma\u00efl in the 17th century, the site still impresses with its colossal dimensions and monumental basins. You can climb the ramparts to admire the panoramic view of the Medina and the storks nesting on the walls. Today, the underground passages house the minbar of the Koutoubia, a masterpiece of 12th-century cabinet-making, while the central courtyard hosts the Marrakech Film Festival, bringing these grandiose remains back to life.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-xH8MJPC\/0\/LR76SPbQQvRcSW63mhWM9vKkwz8tRrJLx3nFng6hf\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-26-L.jpg\" alt=\"Palais El Badi - Monumental ruins\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tour duration: 1 to 2 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening hours: 9am-5pm daily<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulties and PRM access: uneven terrain, difficult access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prices: from 100 DH.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access: Place des Ferblantiers, Mellah district<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10.

We were dazzled by the decorative richness of these 16th-century mausoleums, where some sixty members of the Saadian dynasty are buried. The Hall of the Twelve Columns, a true architectural masterpiece, houses the tomb of Sultan Ahmed al-Mansour beneath a carved cedar dome supported by Carrara marble columns. Admire the extraordinarily fine chiselled stuccowork, the intricate geometric zellij and the gilded kufic inscriptions on the walls. We also enjoyed the flower-filled garden where other tombs are scattered. It offers a haven of peace, contrasting with the opulence of the interior rooms, which bear witness to the past grandeur of this dynasty. We strongly recommend a guided tour to fully understand the site. The site itself does not offer guided tours, but many external partners do, allowing you to enter without queuing!       <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"

We explored this former Koranic school, which welcomed up to 900 students from all over the Maghreb to study theology, law and science. The central patio, surrounded by finely sculpted arcades, houses a rectangular white marble pool reflecting the fa\u00e7ades adorned with delicate stucco and elaborate cedar woodwork. You&#8217;ll discover 130 student cells spread over 2 floors, austere in contrast to the decorative richness of the common areas. The prayer room impresses with its carved marble mihrab. Every architectural detail testifies to the skill of Moroccan craftsmen and the importance of education in Arab-Andalusian civilization. We strongly advise you to take a guided tour to fully understand the site, or opt for the audio guides.      <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-VnGzK93\/0\/LhP8jwcPvjxK23JW8PwmgNKFPmZHR6vFtDq33KfZ5\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-14-L.jpg\" alt=\"M&#xE9;dersa Ben Youssef - Central patio\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit duration: 45min to 1h<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening hours: 9am-7pm daily except during Ramadan: closes at 6pm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulties and PRM access: stairs to access floors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Audioguide in several languages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Price: 50 DH.

They were once a place of pleasure for the sultans, who came to refresh themselves and contemplate the view of the Atlas Mountains. They offer an escape route to the west of Marrakech. We too enjoyed the panorama. The 12th-century Saadian pavilion is reflected in the vast rectangular pool, creating one of Marrakech&#8217;s most emblematic images, with the snow-capped mountains in the background when the sky is clear. It is, however, the main thing to see. The site can be visited quickly. Don&#8217;t forget to bring a hat or cap, as it&#8217;s very hot here and there&#8217;s little shade.       <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-Nmvf4MH\/0\/MBrnRfn6FQP8h8z5jt7h2Ph92J7PZfgw2HcPpDTCx\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-30-L.jpg\" alt=\"Jardins de la M&#xE9;nara - Pavilion and pool\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tour duration: 30min<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening hours: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulties and access for disabled people: flat, accessible terrain but steps to reach the pool<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Admission: free<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access: Avenue de la M\u00e9nara, about 4km from the center of the Medina<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking: large free parking lot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Catering: street vendors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13.

We fell in love with <strong>Caf\u00e9 Clock<\/strong>, an inclusive venue that promotes local culture with traditional music concerts, storytelling evenings and a beautiful terrace overlooking the city&#8217;s ochre rooftops. You&#8217;ll find a warm atmosphere, far from the overly touristy addresses. As for the <strong>Caf\u00e9 Arabe<\/strong>, it&#8217;s ideal for a drink while admiring the view of the surrounding area, although it should be noted that its cuisine is not its strong point. We also liked the rooftop terrace of the <strong>Maison de la Photographie<\/strong>, and the restaurants <strong>Tanjia<\/strong>, <strong>Pergola<\/strong> and <strong>Naranj<\/strong>!    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-JZ2v9D7\/0\/KXjTcMm9DDcL8DrzxdKD9frsNKqCd43dJ9GSv8sTH\/L\/IMG_3487%20%281%29-L.jpg\" alt=\"Marrakech - Caf&#xE9; Arabe Rooftop Terrace\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Caf\u00e9 Arabe opposite Marrakech&#8217;s Secret Garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit duration: 1h to 3h depending on the activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Times: all day, sunset recommended<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulties and access for disabled people: rarely accessible, as stairs lead up to roofs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access: in the medina<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.

Less impressive than the Sahara, the desert is mostly arid, stony hills. We loved the panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains. Activities range from sunset strolls and hikes through dry wadis to quad biking through rocky tracks. You can also experience bivouacs in luxurious Berber camps, dine in ca\u00efdal tents and savor a traditional m\u00e9choui accompanied by Gnaoua music. These getaways are a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of Marrakech for a day.     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-6tnNPrR\/0\/LHJpx7QQ758DFXFQkZNp7ZZXDDGnsbS2sfxZDgqBp\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-15-L.jpg\" alt=\"Agafay Desert - Sunset\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit duration: half or full day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulties and access for disabled people: uneven terrain, not suitable for disabled people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Important<\/span>: There are many camel rides on offer.

We took winding roads through Berber villages clinging to the mountainsides, where the traditional way of life has endured for centuries. The Ourika valley, dotted with waterfalls and terraced gardens, reveals lush vegetation contrasting with the aridity of the plain. You&#8217;ll discover colorful weekly markets where Berber women sell saffron and hand-woven carpets, as well as argan oil cooperatives. Hikes lead to breathtaking panoramas of snow-capped peaks, including Toubkal, North Africa&#8217;s highest peak. The villages of Imlil and Asni serve as bases for trekking tours suitable for all levels, allowing you to meet the Amazigh people in their unspoilt environment.

We tested several establishments, from popular hammams frequented by locals to luxurious riad spas. The traditional ritual comprises several stages: passage through progressively heated rooms, scrubbing with black soap and <em>kessa<\/em> glove, then rinsing with lukewarm water. You&#8217;ll appreciate the argan oil massage that usually concludes the session, leaving the skin soft and revitalized. Historic hammams like the one in Quartier Mouassine retain their traditional architecture, with vaulted ceilings pierced by oculi allowing light to filter through.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/prefecture-de-marrakech-l208\/hammams-et-bains-turcs-tc2060\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Don&#8217;t wait to book a special time at one of Marrakech&#8217;s many traditional spas and hammams!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-GQ45763\/0\/LBjLL6qGWbDMR7ZxV2j6VS38ZMKsjBMGZzk46qHv2\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-44-L.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional Hammam - Interior design\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excursions around Marrakech<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discover Ouarzazate<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ouarzazate, nicknamed the &#8220;Gateway to the Desert&#8221;, lies 200km from Marrakech on the spectacular Tizi n&#8217;Tichka road. We crossed the changing landscapes of the High Atlas before reaching this town at the gateway to the Sahara. The Atlas Film Studios, where Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator were filmed, offer an insight into the world of the 7th art. You&#8217;ll visit the Taourirt Kasbah, former residence of the Glaoui, with its richly decorated rooms. Nearby, the UNESCO-listed Kasbah d&#8217;A\u00eft Benhaddou is the perfect place to discover this earthen citadel that seems to emerge from the desert.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/marrakech-l208\/excursion-privee-d-une-journee-a-ouarzazate-et-ait-benhaddou-t59397\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Book your day trip to Ouarzazate and A\u00eft Benhaddou now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-LtqXDST\/0\/KxjPG5w4WT5vJ2N2cMfgRm7GsWQphZ6jphSTTS2tB\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-42-L.jpg\" alt=\"Ouarzazate - Kasbah\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore the verdant Imlil Valley<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Imlil Valley, nestled at the foot of Mount Toubkal, offers a haven of coolness at 1740m altitude. We followed the mule trails through Berber villages with their stone and adobe houses. The terraced fields bear witness to the ingenuity of the local population in cultivating walnut, apple and vegetable trees on the steep slopes. You can hike to the Irhoulidene waterfalls or simply enjoy a mint tea in front of the mountain panorama.

We strolled through this white and blue medina, a World Heritage site, lulled by the constant trade winds. The 18th-century ramparts, designed by French architect Th\u00e9odore Cornut, offer ocean-view promenades. Enjoy grilled fish and seafood right in the harbor, where colorful trawlers return every morning. The town, a haven for artists and musicians, hosts the Gnaoua Festival, which transforms its squares into giant musical stages. The immense beaches are ideal for water sports, especially kitesurfing, which is popular because of the steady winds.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/marrakech-l208\/excursions-privees-d-une-journee-a-essaouira-au-depart-de-marrakech-t59324\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Choose a day trip to Essaouira, with pick-up and drop-off in Marrakech<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-KMWbxH8\/0\/NfVDmGt79xMbSdvT77GBHWf33DtD8gLTGJ4tDv7LL\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-47-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Fishing port\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience unforgettable moments on a quad or in a hot-air balloon<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The area around Marrakech lends itself perfectly to adventure activities offering unique perspectives on the landscape. Let yourself be tempted by the magical experience of a sunrise hot-air balloon flight over the Palmeraie and Berber villages, with the Atlas Mountains in the background. Quad excursions take you through palm groves, dry wadis and desert plateaus, offering thrills and spills in a variety of settings. You can also opt for buggy rides in the Agafay desert or horseback rides at sunset. These activities allow you to explore areas inaccessible to conventional vehicles, while enjoying adrenalin-filled moments in grandiose landscapes.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/marrakech-l208\/ballooning-vol-low-cost-marrakech-t468535\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><strong>Experience a sunrise from a hot-air balloon overlooking the landscape<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/marrakech-l208\/marrakech-dunes-de-la-palmeraie-balade-en-quad-avec-the-t605290\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Looking for adrenaline?

Low-cost airlines offer attractive fares all year round. From the airport, shuttles, cabs and private transfers take you to the city center in 15 minutes. The train links Marrakech to Casablanca in 3 hours, with connections to Rabat and Tangiers. CTM and Supratours buses serve all major Moroccan cities from the bus station.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parking in Marrakech<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parking in the Medina remains limited to guarded parking lots near the main gates: Bab Doukkala, Bab Agnaou and Place Jemaa el-Fna. Daily rates vary from 20 to 50 DH. In the modern Gu\u00e9liz district, on-street parking is paid for by ticket-issuing wardens. We recommend you leave your car in the parking lot of your accommodation and explore the city on foot or by cab, which is more convenient for navigating the narrow streets.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-3KC3ZfK\/0\/MTFzDdQbBxHPHWP35CrbQVdK9hgdSVfKJjZSHGFWB\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-39-L.jpg\" alt=\"Parking Marrakech\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\" style=\"background-color:#f0e4dd;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse box_planif is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px;\">OUR TIPS FOR RENTING A CAR IN <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">MOROCCO<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compare prices on our preferred platform: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/morocco?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">DiscoverCars<\/a> &#8211; one of the best rated sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not too wide<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A good engine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For more choice, <strong>book early<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column planif-radius-2 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large voiture_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Morocco-all\/Morocco\/i-KDMQCZb\/4\/NXBrCVn8rWSm5NQQ9T5SCqjxhchbDNJ26tPBjGcZS\/S\/P1000664-S.jpg\" alt=\"Driving in Morocco\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns planif_bouton is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/fr\/morocco?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">See available cars &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maroclovers.com\/en\/how-rent-car-morocco-tips-experiences\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15497\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read all our tips<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting around Marrakech<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The medina is not easily accessible by car. Many alleyways are inaccessible to vehicles. The best way to get around is on foot. You can, however, get around by tuk-tuk. Outside the medina, cabs are the most practical way of getting around Marrakech, from Gu\u00e9liz to l&#8217;Hivernage, for example. We advise you to insist on using the meter or negotiate the price before departure. Traditional horse-drawn carriages offer a romantic alternative for tourist trips. City buses serve the outlying districts, but remain impractical for visitors. For excursions, large cabs or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/fr-fr\/s\/?q=marrakech+excursions&amp;searchSource=3&amp;src=search_bar?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">organized tours<\/a> make it easy to get around.        <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to eat in Marrakech<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marrakech offers a rich culinary scene ranging from street food stalls to gourmet restaurants. We particularly enjoyed Restaurant Farmers for its modern Moroccan cuisine, Restaurant Al Fassia for its setting and traditional cuisine, and Bistro Arabe for its concert atmosphere and inventive cuisine in the heart of the souk. The stalls on Place Jemaa el-Fna offer a unique yet touristy experience. For fine dining, the Royal Mansour is home to a restaurant whose menu is created by Michelin-starred French chef H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Darroze.

We enjoyed the absence of crowds and the crystal-clear light that sublimated the monuments. Cool evenings invite you to warm up over a steaming tagine or by the braziers in the caf\u00e9s. Bring warm clothing for evenings and excursions in the Atlas mountains, where snow covers the peaks. Heated riads offer cozy comfort after days of exploring.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\" style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box_titre gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\">PLAN YOUR TRIP TO <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">Morocco<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide hr-box-planif\" style=\"background-color:#ccd3dd;color:#ccd3dd\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns box_sans_border is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:14px;flex-basis:60%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Best of<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ul_box wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/maroclovers.com\/en\/where-to-go-morocco-best-destinations\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12758\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top Destinations<\/a><br\/><a type=\"post\" href=\"https:\/\/maroclovers.com\/en\/best-things-to-do-morocco-attractions\/\" id=\"12760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Must-See Places in Morocco<\/a> <br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/maroclovers.com\/en\/best-riads-morocco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Most Beautiful Riads<\/a> <br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/maroclovers.com\/en\/best-cities-morocco-towns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Most Beautiful Cities<\/a> <br\/><a type=\"post\" href=\"https:\/\/maroclovers.com\/en\/best-most-beautiful-medinas-morocco\/\" id=\"11779\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Most Beautiful Medinas<\/a> <br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/maroclovers.com\/en\/best-landscapes-morocco-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Morocco&#8217;s Most Beautiful Landscapes<\/a> <br\/>Most Beautiful Gardens <br\/>Best Museums <br\/>Morocco&#8217;s Most Beautiful Beaches<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top planif-radius is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large img-portrait\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Gorge-du-Dades-valley\/i-2HqrmHN\/0\/NSnpPkgpvssC8wJRk6TT2C2GtMZNd4PVnjsgrbHBf\/L\/IMG_1480-L.jpg\" alt=\"Dades Valley\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide hr-box-planif\" style=\"background-color:#ccd3dd;color:#ccd3dd\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns box_sans_border is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Practical advice<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><br\/>When to go?
