Your destination

Marrakesh

Welcome to Marrakesh, the cultural heart of Morocco, where ancient traditions meet vibrant modern life. Discover the city's lively atmosphere, from the chaotic energy of Jemaa El Fna Square to the calm beauty of Bahia Palace, and immerse yourself in the rich colours, aromas, and sounds of the Medina’s bustling souks.

 

 

Must-sees:

 

  • Jemaa el-Fnaa Square: A lively square brimming with performers, musicians, and food stalls. At night, it transforms into a vibrant food market, offering a true taste of Moroccan cuisine.
  • Bahia Palace: A stunning example of Moroccan architecture, with intricate mosaics, sprawling courtyards, and peaceful gardens.
  • Saadian Tombs: The resting place of the Saadian dynasty rulers, these tombs are renowned for their stunning tilework and serene atmosphere, offering a glimpse into Morocco's royal past.

 

 

Culinary culture:

 

Moroccan cuisine is a celebration of bold spices and fresh, local ingredients. Traditional dishes like tagine, pastilla, and kefta are slow-cooked to perfection, allowing their flavours to develop over hours. Street food plays a huge part in Moroccan culinary culture, with stalls offering treats like kefta (spiced meatballs), sfenj (fried doughnuts), and msemmen (flaky flatbreads).

 

 

Dive deeper:

 

For a more serene escape, visit the Jardin Majorelle, a stunning botanical garden once owned by Yves Saint-Laurent, or take a trip to the Atlas Mountains to explore Berber villages and learn about the local argan oil production. End your day with a meal at one of Marrakesh's rooftop restaurants, where you can savour traditional tagine while watching the sun set over the city’s iconic mosques.

 

 

Good to know:

 

The best times to visit Marrakesh are in spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when temperatures are pleasant. The currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD), and while credit cards are accepted in tourist areas, it’s advisable to carry cash for small purchases. Arabic and Berber are the official languages, though French is widely spoken, and English is becoming more common in tourist spots.
