About Marrakech
Marrakech is a feast for every sense — the maze-like Medina with its souks overflowing with spices and textiles, the electric energy of Djemaa el-Fna square at night, lush riads, and the Atlas Mountains beckoning just beyond.
How to Explore
Lose yourself in the winding alleys of the Medina, focusing on the souks and the Jemaa el-Fnaa square. Utilize local petit-taxis for getting around the newer Guéliz neighborhood and private transfers for desert day trips. Visit the Jardin Majorelle early in the morning to beat the crowds.
