1. Wander Through the Medina

The heart of Marrakech is its Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site brimming with life and history. This ancient walled city is a labyrinth of narrow alleys and bustling souks (markets) where you can immerse yourself in the daily life of locals.

  • Jemaa el-Fnaa: The city’s main square is a dynamic hub of activity, especially at dusk. Here, you’ll find storytellers, musicians, and food stalls offering everything from fresh orange juice to traditional Moroccan dishes.
  • Souks: Explore the myriad of souks selling spices, textiles, jewellery, and handcrafted goods. Each section of the market has its specialty, and bargaining is part of the fun.
  • Historic Sites: Visit the Koutoubia Mosque, with its towering minaret, and the Saadian Tombs, a hidden gem showcasing stunning 16th-century architecture.

2. Visit Majorelle Garden and Yves Saint Laurent Museum

A peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, Majorelle Garden is a botanical paradise originally designed by the French artist Jacques Majorelle. In the 1980s, it was restored by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, whose influence is also celebrated in the adjacent museum.

  • Majorelle Garden: Wander through lush gardens featuring exotic plants, vibrant blue structures, and tranquil water features.

3. Experience a Traditional Moroccan Hammam

A visit to a traditional Moroccan hammam (bathhouse) is an essential experience for any traveller. These communal baths offer a rejuvenating ritual that includes steam, exfoliation, and massage.

  • Local Hammams: For an authentic experience, visit a local hammam where you can participate in the traditional cleansing rituals.
  • Luxury Spas: For a more indulgent option, many high-end hotels and spas offer hammam treatments that combine traditional practices with modern amenities.

Marrakech is home to several palaces and gardens that reflect the city’s historical and architectural splendour. These sites provide a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Morocco’s past rulers.
