Marrakesh
Welcome to Marrakesh, the epicentre of culture in Morocco, thanks to its ancient Medina, lively souks, and historic monuments. Immerse yourself in the heady atmosphere, with snake charmers in the bustling Jemaa El Fna Square, peace and tranquillity at the Bahia Palace, or an onrush of colour and spices in the dense souks of the Medina.
Must-See Attractions:
- Jemaa el-Fnaa Square: a lively square is filled with street performers, storytellers, musicians, and food stalls. At night, it transforms into a bustling food market where you can sample local Moroccan dishes.
- Bahia Palace: a beautiful example of traditional Moroccan architecture, with intricate mosaics, expansive courtyards, and beautiful gardens.
- Saadian Tombs: The final resting place of the Saadian dynasty rulers, these tombs are famous for their intricate tilework and peaceful atmosphere. Rediscovered in 1917, they offer a glimpse into Morocco's royal history.
Dining Culture:
- Local Cuisine: Moroccan cuisine is rich in spices and aromatics. It is grounded in fresh and local ingredients with traditional dishes such as tagine, pastilla, and kefta.Many Moroccan dishes like Tagine are slow-cooked for hours, allowing the flavors to develop deeply.
- Street Food and Snacks: Moroccan street food is an exciting part of the cuisine, with bustling markets like Jemaa el-Fnaa in Marrakesh offering everything from kefta (spiced meatballs) to sfenj (fried doughnuts). Briouats (savoury pastries) and msemmen (flaky flatbreads) are also commonly found at street food stalls.
Local Recommendations:
Don't miss the Jardin Majorelle, a landscaped botanical garden created by French artist Jacques Majorelle and later bought by Yves Saint-Laurent. Alternatively, visitors can escape the city altogether and take a trip to the Atlas Mountains to visit the region’s traditional Berber villages and argan oil cooperatives.At the end of the day, Le Jardin Secret is the perfect place to enjoy a stylish meal in a chic Moroccan courtyard. Alternatively, retreat to one of the Medina’s rooftop restaurants for a delicious tagine while watching the sunset over the city mosques.
Practical Information for Visitors/Currency:
- Marrakesh has a semi-arid climate. The best times to visit are in spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the temperatures are pleasant
- The currency used in Marrakesh is the Moroccan dirham (MAD). While major cities and tourist areas accept credit cards, it's a good idea to carry some cash for small purchases
