The Red City

Marrakech

Souks, riads, gardens and sunsets over the medina

Marrakech is the best place to start: a walled medina full of souks and palaces, quiet riads, gardens like Majorelle and the Jemaa el-Fna square that wakes up at sunset. It is also the easiest base for day trips to the desert, the Atlas Mountains and the coast.

Best timeMarch to May and September to November. Summers are very hot.
Getting thereMarrakech Menara Airport (RAK) is about 15 to 20 minutes from the medina.
How long3 to 4 days, more if you add day trips.
Don't missJemaa el-Fna, Majorelle Garden, Bahia Palace, the souks and a traditional hammam.
