The Red City is an ideal starting point for exploring a wide variety of landscapes: green valleys, mountain peaks, rivers, deserts and the Atlantic coast.

To simplify your visits, we recommend that you opt for guided excursions. They&#8217;re very well organized and good value for money. You don&#8217;t have to worry about logistics or driving. What&#8217;s more, you&#8217;ll be surprised by the kindness and attentiveness of the guides. On our excursions, we were truly pampered! If you choose an organized tour, be sure to bring cash. Some local guides are paid only by tips, and along the way you&#8217;ll come across small artisan stalls whose prices are more attractive than those in Marrakech.       <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are our 3 favorites:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Explore the Ourika Valley and its waterfalls<\/strong> at the foot of the Atlas Mountains &#8211;

Nestled in the High Atlas mountains, it unfolds a landscape of cultivated terraces, Berber villages with adobe houses and rushing rivers lined with vegetation. On our excursion, we visited an old traditional Amazigh house, then stopped off at the village of A\u00eft Sghir, with a river running through it. Here, you can eat in one of the small restaurants with their feet in the water. It&#8217;s very picturesque and colorful! Afterwards, those who wish can take the short hike to the Ourika waterfall. It&#8217;s an excursion accessible to all levels, ideal for a day out in the heart of the Atlas mountains.      <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Excursions\/i-t9M2MNn\/0\/NPc3rjqmLFPCtXzf2b5ShmTJJB5zJK8DV6JpRMdc7\/L\/morocco-marrakech-excursions-8-L.jpg\" alt=\"Ourika Valley - Berber landscapes\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The valley&#8217;s traditional Berber villages and their adobe houses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Terraced gardens cultivated at altitude<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ochre colors of mountain soil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cooperatives selling local crafts, including Berber pottery and carpets, spices and argan oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The A\u00eft Sghir waterfalls, accessible on foot after a hike (30min), bring good shoes, the guides are very helpful for people who are not very comfortable with walking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Excursions\/i-dbZ3NWj\/0\/MXTfhWfh2t9GNQXSgQfXkhHrdkPksCnnwZnkmdLqp\/L\/morocco-marrakech-excursions-6-L.jpg\" alt=\"Ourika Valley - Waterfalls\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow a full day to enjoy the valley, including the climb to the waterfalls.

Soaring high above the Palmeraie, we discovered the city from a different angle. The ochre roofs of the medina, the palm trees, the surrounding douars and, as a backdrop on a clear day, the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains. We were won over by the smoothness of the flight and the scenery. It&#8217;s an ideal activity for couples or families, offering unforgettable memories and photos.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Lever-de-soleil\/i-nNs9sSz\/0\/NGwV49gQwHcrMk7q9PFLwzbjVTh3Btpvv2TN6M2ZR\/L\/IMG_1277-L.jpg\" alt=\"Hot-air balloon Marrakech - Palm grove and Atlas mountains\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A bird&#8217;s eye view of the Marrakech palm grove and its traditional douars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ochre silhouette of the medina and its minarets at sunrise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The surrounding arid plains and, on a clear day, the Atlas peaks in the background.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Montgolfiere\/i-WFhgQ3F\/0\/MjP4gjnjfpmchgqH44qKwHr2Rc5snz5PwxxXhD76F\/L\/IMG_2151-L.jpg\" alt=\"Hot-air balloon Marrakech - Panoramic view\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flight takes around 1 hour, but you should allow 3 to 4 hours in total with the transfer and the traditional breakfast that often follows the landing.

Less spectacular than the Sahara, it consists mainly of arid, stony hills, with panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains. Activities range from camel rides and hikes through dry wadis to quad biking through rocky tracks. You can also experience a bivouac in a Berber camp, dining in a ca\u00efdal tent and savoring a traditional m\u00e9choui accompanied by Gnaoua music. It&#8217;s also a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city 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\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The arid, stony hills of Agafay, with the Atlas peaks in the background<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lake Lalla Takerkoust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Berber camps under ca\u00efdal tents, with dinner and gnaoua music<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rocky trails ideal for quads and buggies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Excursions\/i-M2kKwPz\/0\/KnCm6th5LH7kL42zTKDMFkTWmKWShncB8F83zmtkh\/L\/morocco-marrakech-excursions-L.jpg\" alt=\"Agafay Desert - Berber camp\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow half a day or a full day, depending on the activity you choose.

We took the winding roads through Berber villages clinging to the mountainsides, where the traditional way of life endures. The Imlil Valley, nestled at the foot of Mount Toubkal, is criss-crossed by mule-tracks linking hamlets of stone and adobe houses. Like us, you can hike to the Irhoulidene waterfalls or simply enjoy a mint tea with a panoramic view. En route, we stopped off at a crafts center.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-BVGGSBH\/0\/NJLf4KwnMQ4gqZs3ZP2Nvct7BJLt6dVZJZNRTsC5v\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-37-L.jpg\" alt=\"Imlil Valley - Mountain landscapes\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The traditional Amazigh villages of Imlil and Asni, nestled in the mountains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irhoulidene waterfalls, accessible on foot from the valley<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, including Toubkal, North Africa&#8217;s highest peak<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handicraft centers where you can find spices, argan oil, jewelry and pottery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Excursions\/i-MPdxbRj\/0\/Khd3zp93bx5MhC8xP9TgwMHzmVJZJM9ppsJGW4TsG\/L\/morocco-marrakech-excursions-3-L.jpg\" alt=\"Atlas Mountains - Villages and peaks\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A full day is recommended to enjoy the mountains and the valley.

We crossed some superb landscapes before reaching Ouarzazate, nicknamed the &#8220;Gateway to the Desert&#8221;. The Kasbah de Taourirt, former residence of the Glaoui, is well worth a visit. A few kilometers away, the Kasbah d&#8217;A\u00eft Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, rises out of the landscape like a thousand-year-old earthen citadel. The Atlas Film Studios, where films such as Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator and Game of Thrones were shot, offer a behind-the-scenes look at the 7th art.     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-gmFXrXg\/0\/Kk2F8WX34VMFckCL56s8qTwd9t6N2J7cBbrwVFrtk\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-23-L.jpg\" alt=\"A&#xEF;t Ben Haddou - Kasbah\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The spectacular Tizi n&#8217;Tichka road and its panoramic views of the High Atlas mountains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A\u00eft Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO-listed earthen citadel with imposing towers and ramparts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Taourirt Kasbah in Ouarzazate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Atlas Film Studios, the backdrop for numerous international productions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Excursions\/i-9QrKqtR\/0\/KXsttcC5V55dWH3Rsd3cjmwFWMcsjpP78NfdczTW3\/L\/morocco-marrakech-excursions-4-L.jpg\" alt=\"A&#xEF;t Ben Haddou - UNESCO Kasbah\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow a full day, or two if you wish to stay overnight and explore the region in greater detail.

This white and blue medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, cradled by the constant trade winds. We found that the pace here is much slower than in Marrakech: the alleyways are quiet, craftsmen work with thuya wood and art galleries follow one another. The 18th-century ramparts, built under the direction of architect Th\u00e9odore Cornut, offer ocean-view promenades.   Enjoy grilled fish and seafood right in the harbor, where colorful trawlers return every morning. The immense surrounding beaches are also ideal for kitesurfing, thanks to the steady winds. We think it&#8217;s one of the most beautiful towns in Morocco! <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Ville\/i-c9p9szh\/2\/LTkR69sTjgtVtWS2rWsBGXq27h27KTvzxJZSbnFng\/L\/essaouira-morocco-08-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Port and ramparts\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Essaouira&#8217;s medina, its blue and white streets and art galleries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ramparts, the 18th-century sqalas and their view of the Atlantic Ocean<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bustling fishing port and its colorful trawlers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Immense beaches, popular with kitesurfers and surfers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Ville\/i-W4VsFhK\/1\/KK3mqTLwP7tMpbtXHxQpzT89gRjX3ZwW39fGMfCBT\/L\/essaouira-morocco-17-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Medina and Atlantic coast\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A full day allows you to visit the medina, take a tour of the port and enjoy a seafood lunch.

Located around 3 hours from Marrakech, in the foothills of the Middle Atlas mountains, they plunge more than 110m into the Oued El Abid gorge, forming deep-green natural basins. You&#8217;ll be impressed by the power and height of the falls, all the more spectacular in spring when the water is abundant. Barbary apes populate the surrounding cliffs and are happy to approach visitors. You can walk down to the foot of the falls on specially prepared paths, then take a boat out to the waterfalls. We recommend this excursion, but be sure to check the season in which you take it. In midsummer, there&#8217;s less water and the cascades may be less impressive.      <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Ouzoud waterfalls, over 110m high and one of the most imposing in Morocco<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Natural basins at the foot of the waterfalls, accessible by footpaths<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Barbary apes that inhabit the surrounding cliffs and olive groves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Oued El Abid gorges and traditional water mills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow a full day from Marrakech. The descent to the foot of the falls and the stroll along the edge of the basins represent around 2 to 3 hours of walking on prepared paths. Restaurants and caf\u00e9s overlook the site for a lunch break with a view.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/fr-fr\/s\/?q=Marrakech+ouzoud&amp;searchSource=3&amp;src=search_bar&amp;partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><strong>&gt;&gt;  See the excursions available at Cascades d&#8217;Ouzoud  &lt;&lt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

The town is famous for its long golden sandy beaches, sunny climate almost all year round and lively port. In our opinion, it&#8217;s a very different destination from Marrakech: more modern, sea-focused and water sports-oriented. We enjoyed strolling along the corniche and the souk El Had market. In addition, the ruins of the Kasbah d&#8217;Agadir, rebuilt after the 1960 earthquake that devastated the city, offer a panoramic view of the bay and a touching testimony to the city&#8217;s history.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Agadir\/T&#xE9;l&#xE9;ph&#xE9;rique\/i-SSF3Q53\/0\/NLPTBZpZ3JCKVk5qknW3KkrWCzHnNGvLBdvdLwHPL\/L\/agadir-morocco-cabin-L.jpg\" alt=\"Agadir - Beach and corniche\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/fr-fr\/agadir-l1413\/agadir-billet-aller-retour-en-telepherique-avec-vue-panoramique-nocturne-a-360deg-t1136993\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Agadir cable car<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Agadir&#8217;s long beach and seafront promenade<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Agadir Kasbah and its panoramic view of the bay from the cable car<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The marina and the modern city center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Souk El Had, one of Morocco&#8217;s largest covered markets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Agadir\/Marina\/i-7fPxDkF\/0\/Ndqs4QzwCF2r9xcnsV4w3GXRGbrJmF9phGQHThNFX\/L\/agadir-morocco-marina-L.jpg\" alt=\"Agadir - Port and Kasbah\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A full day is the minimum to discover Agadir&#8217;s main sites.

Its ascent, accessible to hikers in good physical condition with no particular mountaineering experience, is one of the most popular treks on the African continent. We recommend this excursion to travellers looking for an authentic physical adventure, far removed from the usual tourist circuits. Departure is from Imlil, about 1h40 from Marrakech, from where you reach the Moroccan Alpine Club hut before tackling the summit in the early morning. On a clear day, the view from the summit takes in the whole of the High Atlas, and sometimes the Atlantic coast in the distance.    <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The summit of Mount Toubkal at 4167m, the highest point in North Africa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The mineral landscapes of the High Atlas at altitude<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The village of Imlil and the Berber douars on the way to the refuge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An exceptional panorama of the entire mountain range<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A minimum of 2 days is required: a first day to reach Imlil and climb to the refuge at 3207m, then a second day to reach the summit and descend. A local guide is strongly recommended for a safe ascent. Opt for an excursion to be well accompanied.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/fr-fr\/s\/?q=Marrakech+trek&amp;searchSource=3&amp;src=search_bar&amp;partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><strong>&gt;&gt;  See available Mount Toubkal treks and ascents  &lt;&lt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other excursions from Marrakech<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have extra time or are looking for adventure activities close to Marrakech, we&#8217;ve got some additional ideas for you:<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quad biking in the Palmeraie<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Marrakech\/Best-of\/i-n3Mftgx\/0\/KX54WcNtjFfNStTksgTtx9znPpc8GrjJC7K79f7qP\/L\/best%20thisng%20to%20do%20marrakech-21-L.jpg\" alt=\"Palm tree Marrakech\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The area around Marrakech is ideal for quad biking. Excursions take you through palm groves, dry wadis and plateaus, offering thrills and spills in a variety of settings. You can also opt for buggies in the Agafay Desert. These activities allow you to explore areas inaccessible to conventional vehicles, while remaining close to the city.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><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\"><strong>&gt;&gt;  Book a quad bike ride in the Palmeraie  &lt;&lt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discover Casablanca<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Casablanca\/Hassan-II-Mosque\/i-PSmbs42\/0\/MJtRJKmB2qXxM6xDcbd3snCfCqBsBj4TbsRng5dBV\/L\/hassan-2-mosque-casablanca-02-L.jpg\" alt=\"Casablanca Mosque\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 3-hour drive from Marrakech, <a href=\"https:\/\/maroclovers.com\/en\/best-things-to-do-casablanca-visit\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"333\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Casablanca<\/a> is Morocco&#8217;s economic capital and largest city. The atmosphere here is resolutely urban and modern, a far cry from the medina atmosphere of Marrakech. We were impressed by the Hassan II Mosque, whose 210m minaret dominates the Atlantic Ocean. It&#8217;s one of the largest mosques in the world, and one of the few open to non-Muslims. The Art Deco district of the city center is also worth a stroll, as is the Corniche along the seafront. It&#8217;s an excursion that will particularly appeal to travelers curious to discover a more contemporary facet of Morocco.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/fr-fr\/s\/?q=Marrakech+casablanca&amp;searchSource=3&amp;src=search_bar&amp;partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">&gt;&gt;&gt;  See available excursions to Casablanca  &lt;&lt;&lt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Casablanca\/City\/i-Wz93qbW\/0\/LQPbCGzCx5qMbBNfPXFSdthBMv8xNsBwfqJ8pJxm7\/L\/mohamed-5-V-square-casablanca-L.jpg\" alt=\"City Casablanca\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking for more ideas for your stay?
