Discovering Morocco

I think I cannot describe my experience in words … it has been a magical trip, special, I have discovered a country with some incredible people, I only have words of infinite thanks, Hassan, Said, and your friends, you have treated us like yours family, you have made us live a most authentic and beautiful experience, you are beautiful people that I am infinitely grateful to have met you on this path, I will undoubtedly come back to visit you, to sit next to you, to make you feel that way and to continue discovering that beautiful country!

An experience to repeat with Marrakech Tour Company

It has been an excellent trip, from minute one, our guide could not be better, as a person, attentive, polite and above all very good driver. The desert experience is magnificent, the night in the unbeatable camp, the expextacular hotel in the desert. Totally recommendable. We will repeat with you of course and we will recommend you to 100 and 100. A pleasure to have made the trip with you. A hug to the whole team.

My vacation days with MTC

2 years ago they passed me the contact of this boy, I always looked at his page and I never decided on Marrakech . One day I wrote to him and asked him about his tours and Hassan did not hesitate at any time to marvel at his country. As soon as I explained, I told him to prepare a 7-day tour and that was all we talked about until Q arrived. It has been a vacation where curiosity was above me and this wonderful family filled my soul with things and feelings Q was fading, seeing the reality of life and life is very simple, and being happy depends on how you decide to live it. In summary, I found how I say my Sahara family. And in no time I will return to visit the north … See you soon.

“Discovered a magical Morocco”

An incredible experience, all super nice and attentive. Even the 6-hour trip was enjoyable with the great songs that our super guide Hassan gave us. The dromedary ride was also an incredible experience watching the sunset and sunrise. And the tents were better equipped than many hotels I’ve been to. It was beautiful to contemplate all the stars since there was no light practically all were visible. A 100% recommendable experience, everyone made us feel at home.

Experience Morocco

The Moroccan culture

Morocco is known for its diverse and fascinating culture, which is quite different from that of Western countries. Its culture is shaped by elements such as history, faith, traditions, and customs. While Morocco has modernized in recent years, it is still a good idea to familiarize yourself with some of its customs and traditions before visiting.

The Moroccan hospitality

The Moroccan people are incredibly friendly, and hospitality is a matter of honor in this North African country. You may be invited to drink tea or have a meal at someone’s home just minutes after meeting them. Moroccans are also very curious and always open to small talk, so don’t be shy and interact with the locals.

The Moroccan cuisine

Herbs, spices, meat, and fish are all fundamental to Moroccan cuisine, with lamb and beef being particularly popular types of meat. While a wide range of Moroccan herbs and spices are used, dishes are generally not spicy. Couscous, originally a Berber dish, is now a popular and special part of Moroccan cuisine. You can also expect to taste a variety of tagine recipes cooked in clay pots while traveling in the country.

The Moroccan history

Morocco’s history is rich and fascinating, reflecting the fusion of many different peoples, dynasties, religions, and thousands of years in a beautiful country full of prime monuments and archeological wonders. From the ancient madrasas of Fes, Meknes, and Marrakech, to the ancient ruins of Volubilis, to the vast Sahara Desert heritage where fortified buildings called kasbahs stand the test of time with their magnificent architecture, there is much to discover in the history of Morocco.

"Coming morocco is Amazing company to use, I highly recommend. Very friendly and professional. Catered for my family, a large group of 20. Ourika waterfall and quad biking. Iv been to marrakech a few times and by far thr best company i have used for excursions."

"I have traveled many countries in my lifetime but Morocco has been by far the best experience. Most of the people don’t know about Morocco since it is not in the usual pathway when traveling from USA to Europe and to Asia. That’s actually good because it has kept Morocco away from outside world exposure. When I visited Morocco, it was my first visit to the country. I learned about Morocco from a Moroccan friend in USA. Frankly, I was very cautious with my reservations due to lack of knowledge about the country. Safety and security was never a concern when visiting the country..."

"Amazing holidays! Our first excursion was Agafay Camel Ride and Dinner. We loved the serenity of Agafay Desert. The camel ride was a unique experience and we were able to take some memorable pictures. The dinner was delicious in wonderful and relaxing setting in a luxury camp. The driver Mohamed was professional and knowledgeable . They picked us up right on time from our hotel and brought us back safely..."

Marrakesh Travel Guide

TripSavvy / Chris VR 

Situated at the foot of the Atlas mountains, the imperial city of Marrakesh is large, noisy, polluted and smelly. But Marrakesh is also fascinating, full of history, the cultural center of Morocco and beautiful. If you enjoy a daily assault on all your senses then you'll have a lot of fun. When the most popular sights include numerous references to "tranquility" and "peace" like the Majorelle gardens or the gardens around the Saadian Tombs you know you're in for an interesting experience. If you find it a little overwhelming then get an official guide to take you around.

There are so many things to see, you should spend at least 3 days in Marrakesh. If you can afford it, treat yourself to a stay in a Riad so when you return from a hectic day amidst carpet salesman, fire jugglers and noisy souqs, you can relax and have a cup of mint tea in a nice quiet courtyard.

This guide to Marrakesh will help you figure out the best time to go; the best sights to see; how to get to Marrakesh and how to get around; and where to stay.

When to Go to Marrakesh

It is best to try and avoid the summer heat and crowds and visit Marrakesh in the cooler months between September and May. But, some annual events take place in summer which you may not want to miss.

• Marrakesh Popular Arts Festival in July. This annual festival attracts folk singers, dancers, fortune-tellers, acting troupes, snake charmers, fire-swallowers and more, from all over Morocco. Since 2000 the festival has also attracted many artists and entertainers from Europe and Asia. The main events take place in the ruins of the 16 century Badi Palace and the Djemma el Fna (main town square - see below).
• Fantasia is a horse-riding spectacle that includes hundreds of charging horsemen (and women) wearing traditional clothing. It's part of the Popular Arts Festival so it takes place at the same time in July. You can experience the Fantasia in the evenings outside the city walls near the Bab Jdid. If you don't get to see it in July, there's a restaurant that offers the Fantasia as entertainment while you dine, the Chez Ali . Up-market and touristy but I'm sure you won't forget the experience in a hurry.
• Imilchil Marriage Feast is a Berber marriage festival where up to forty couples tie the knot. It takes place in Imilchil in the Middle-High Atlas Mountains near Marrakesh. The festival is a great way to experience Berber culture including music and dance. The event takes place after harvest every year so the dates vary, it's usually held late August or early September.

Winter in Marrakech From mid-January to mid-February there is usually enough snowfall in the Atlas mountains to accommodate skiers . The Oukaimden ski resort is less than 50 miles away from Marrakech. There are several ski lifts and if they don't work you can always take a donkey up the slopes. If there's not enough snow the views are always spectacular and it's still worth the trip.

What to See in Marrakech

Djemma el Fna The Djemma el Fna is really the heart of Marrakech. It is a large central square in the old city (Medina) and during the day it's a perfect place to grab a freshly-squeezed orange juice and a handful of dates. At the end of the afternoon, the Djemma el Fna transforms into an entertainers paradise -- if you're into snake charming, juggling, music and that sort of thing. Snack stalls are replaced with stalls offering more substantial fare and the square comes alive with entertainment that hasn't changed much since medieval times.

The Djemma el Fna is surrounded by cafe's overlooking the square so you can just relax and watch the world go by if you're tired of jostling the crowds below. Be prepared to be asked for money when you take photos of the performers and stop to watch the entertainment.

Souqs The souqs are basically undercover markets that sell everything from chickens to high-quality crafts. The souqs of Marrakech are considered to be among the best in Morocco, so if you like  shopping and bargaining  you'll enjoy yourself tremendously. Even if you don't like shopping, the souqs are a cultural experience you wouldn't want to miss. Souqs are divided into small areas that specialize in a certain good or trade. The metal workers all have their little shops clustered together, as do the tailors, butchers, jewelers, wool dyers, spice merchants, carpet salesmen and so on.

The souqs are situated north of the Djemma el Fna and finding your way around the narrow alleyways can be a bit tricky. Guides are plentiful in Marrakech, so you can always use those services, but getting lost in the chaos is also part of the fun. It's often more interesting to peek into souqs where local wares are being produced than to be taken to yet another carpet shop by your guide. If you get lost, just ask for directions back to the Djemma el Fna.

Majorelle Gardens and the Museum of Islamic Art In the 1920's, French artists Jacques and Louis Majorelle created a stunning garden in the middle of Marrakech's new town. The Majorelle gardens are filled with color, plants of all shapes and sizes, flowers, fish ponds and perhaps the most pleasing aspect, tranquility. The designer Yves Saint Laurent now owns the gardens and has also built himself a house on the property. The building that gets most of the attention, however, is the bright blue and yellow building the Marjorelles used as their studio and which now houses the  Museum of Islamic Art . This small museum includes some good examples of Moroccan tribal art, carpets, jeweler, and pottery. The gardens and museum are  open daily  with a 2-hour lunch break from 12-2pm.

Saadian Tombs The Saadian dynasty ruled much of southern Morocco during the 16th and 17th centuries. Sultan Ahmed al-Mansour created these tombs for himself and his family in the late 16th century, 66 of them are buried here. The tombs were sealed up rather than destroyed in the 17th century and were only re-discovered in 1917. Consequently, they are beautifully preserved and the intricate mosaic is stunning. Despite being situated in the heart of the somewhat hectic old town (medina) the tombs are surrounded by a nice peaceful garden. The tombs are open daily except for Tuesday. It's advisable to get there early and avoid the tour groups.

The Ramparts of Marrakech The walls of the Medina have been standing since the 13th century and make for a wonderful early morning stroll. Each gate is a work of art in themselves and the walls run for twelve miles. The Bab ed-Debbagh gate is the entry point for the  tanneries  and provides an excellent photo opportunity full of vivid colors from the dyes used. It is a little smelly though.

Palais Dar Si Said (Museum of Moroccan Arts) A palace and museum in one and well worth a visit. The palace is opulent and beautiful in itself with a lovely courtyard where you can relax and take some pictures. The museum's displays are well laid out and include jewelry, costumes, ceramics, daggers and other artifacts. The museum is open daily with a couple of hours break for lunch.

Ali ben Youssef Medersa and Mosque The Medersa was built in the 16th century by the Saadians and could house up to 900 religious students. The architecture is beautifully preserved and you can explore the tiny rooms where the students used to live. The mosque is adjacent to the Medersa.

El Bahia Palace This palace is a wonderful example of the best of Moroccan architecture. There's lots of detail, arches, light, engravings and what's more, it was built as a harem's residence, which makes it even more interesting. The palace is open daily with a break for lunch although it is closed when the royal family visits.

Getting to Marrakech

By Air Marrakech has an international airport with direct scheduled flights coming in from London and Paris and many charter flights arriving from all over Europe. If you are flying from the US, Canada, Asia or elsewhere, you'll have to change planes in  Casablanca . The airport is only about 4 miles (15 minutes) from the city and buses, as well as taxis, operate throughout the day. You should set the taxi fare before you get in. The major car rental companies are represented at the airport.

By Train Trains  run regularly between Marrakech and Casablanca . The trip takes about 3 hours. If you want to go to Fez, Tangier or Meknes then you can take the train through Rabat (4 hours from Marrakech). There is also an  overnight train  between Tangier and Marrakech. It's best to take a taxi to the train station in Marrakech since it's quite far from the old town (if that's where you're staying).

By Bus There are three national bus companies that operate between Marrakech and most major towns and cities in Morocco. They are Supratours, CTM and SATAS. According to recent traveller accounts on VirtualTourist.com SATAS doesn't have a very good reputation. Long-distance buses are comfortable and usually air-conditioned. You can buy your tickets at the bus depot. Supratours buses are handy if you are travelling onward by train since they stop at the Marrakech train station. The other bus companies arrive and depart from the long distance bus station near Bab Doukkala, a 20-minute walk from Jema el-Fna.

Getting Around Marrakech

The best way to see Marrakech is on foot especially in the Medina. But it's a sizable town and you'll probably want to make use of some of the following options:

• Taxis  are readily available throughout town and probably the most efficient way of getting to the main sites.  Grand taxis  are old Mercedes cars that carry up to six people for a fixed fare. They usually keep to specific routes and you'll find them at the bus station, Djemaa el Fna and the main Post Office in Gueliz (new town).  Petit taxis  are a little more expensive but you get it to yourself and they'll take you anywhere you want to go. The meters aren't always used so either ask the driver to switch it on or bargain for your fare before you hop in. Ask your hotel staff what a reasonable fare is if you know where you're going. Petit taxis in Marrakech are usually beige and you can just flag them down.
• Caleche  is a horse-drawn carriage and a popular way to get around Marrakech. There are set prices for the more common routes, around the ramparts for example, but for other routes, you'll have to bargain with the driver. Set the price before you hop in. You can catch a Caleche in the garden square between the Koutoubia Mosque and Djemaa el Fna, El Badi Palace and the more expensive hotels.
• Buses  within the town are frequent and cheap but can get crowded. The central bus station, Place El Mouarabitene is just outside Bab Doukkala on the northwestern edge of the old city. You can pay the bus driver directly. The no 8 will take you to the train station; the no 10 to the central bus station and the no 1 travels between the Medina and Gueliz (new town). Most buses will stop at the Djemaa-el-Fna
• Moped or Bicycle  is also a popular way to get around Marrakech and you can cycle within the medina which is handy. Check out  Maroc deux Roues  to get an idea about rates.

Where to Stay in Marrakech

Riads One of the most sought-after accommodations in Marrakech is a  Riad , a traditional Moroccan house situated in the Medina (old town). All riads have a central courtyard that will often have a fountain, restaurant or a pool. Some riads also have rooftop terraces where you can eat breakfast and look out over the city. A comprehensive list of riads in Marrakech including photos and prices can be found on the Riad Marrakech website . Riads are not all expensive, check out the  Maison Mnabha ,  Dar Mouassine  and the  Hotel Sherazade  where you can stay in style but pay less.

There are two Riads in Marrakech of note:

• La Maison Arabe ; a luxury riad in the heart of the Marrakech Medina. Famous for its restaurant it also offers 13 rooms overlooking two courtyards and a beautiful hammam (traditional Moroccan sauna). You can catch hourly shuttles to the hotel's cooking school (20 minutes away) with swimming pool and gardens. Check rates and reviews.
• Riad Kniza ; situated in the heart of Marrakech's Medina just a few minutes walk from the Djemma el Fna (the main square). This small, romantic, beautifully furnished traditional Riad has 7 rooms, two lounges, a courtyard and several patios. The owner is an antique dealer and extremely knowledgeable about Marrakech. The Riad Kniza comes very highly recommended with glowing  reviews  from all who stay here.

Hotels Marrakech has lots of  luxury hotels  available including the famous La Mamounia, featured in the  Sex and the City 2  movie and which Winston Churchill described as "the most beautiful place in the world". There are also several popular chain hotels like the  Le Meridien , and  Sofitel . These hotels are often housed in historic buildings and retain the Moroccan character and style. 

Budget hotels  are also plentiful and Bootsnall has a decent listing of affordable options. Since many of the smaller budget hotels won't have websites or online booking facilities you should get a good guidebook, like the Lonely Planet and follow their recommendations. Most budget accommodation is situated south of the Djemaa el Fna.

Marrakech: A city full of excitement and enchantment Back to video

The moment you walk through the fortified, ochre-coloured walls of the old  city built in the 11th century, there’s an intoxicating buzz of action. Yet you can sit on a medina rooftop, gaze out at the Atlas Mountains in the distance and be transported to a vast and varied land — in parts lush valley, rocky dessert and snowy peaks.

It’s all within reach of Morocco’s fifth-largest city, with a population of about one million. And the medina, a UNESCO world heritage site, is a marvel.

Wrapped inside a nine-kilometre wall, the narrow, labyrinth-like pathways are chock-full of colourful little shops and stands selling beautiful ceramics, every sort of woven straw bag imaginable and handcrafted carpets galore.

Here you can browse, haggle and get swept up in the action. Tourists and locals on foot jostle for space with motorbikes, fruit-laden carts, donkeys and the like. It’s easy to be mesmerized by it all and to get a little lost … though that’s part of the adventure.

As night falls, the market square Jemaa el-Fna becomes the main attraction with snake charmers, henna artists and musicians competing with stalls selling fruit juices, snacks and all sorts of wares.

My friends and I go to Le Grand Bazar restaurant’s rooftop, which has stunning views over the city as the sultry sun begins to set and the loud, melodic muezzins’ calls to prayer summon the Muslim faithful.

Moroccan cuisine is delicious, varied and flavourful — thanks to the cultural influences from the Berbers, the Arabs and French among others. My tastebuds are spoiled time and again with fresh olives, humus and eggplant dips along with succulent lamb or chicken tagines served with couscous and roasted vegetables. And, of course, plenty of mint tea, nuts, dates and sweets.

Heading out of the city to the High Atlas Mountains, our guide Mustafah Hicham takes us on windy roads with panoramic views looking out over olive groves, past Berber villages that seem to rise out of sandy-coloured hills and, in the distance, I even see snow on Mount Toubkal — at 4,167 metres, the highest peak in North Africa.

We stop to see how women at a cooperative make argan oil, visit an old, stone olive press and have sweet mint tea, flatbread, honey and olives in Naimei and Omar Ait Abd Kader’s Berber home, which is made of earthy-coloured clay and straw and decorated with a colourful mix of handmade carpets and cushions.

From there, we make our way to Relais du Lac, a delicious Moroccan-French restaurant, which sits next to a manmade lake at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, in the pretty little town of Lalla Takerkoust.

Our journey continues into the rocky, rugged and barren Agafay Desert, which spans several hundred hectares and is punctuated by occasional glamping tents and sites offering quad bike rides and more traditional dromedary — or one-hump camel — treks.

It’s amazing to see how the land changes so quickly, and before long I’m in a whole other oasis — Club Med Marrakech La Palmeraie, which is centrally located in a large palm grove, about a 15-minute drive from the medina.

The beautiful resort opened an extension with a $29 million family area, featuring 66 rooms, pools and dedicated spaces this spring, and recently completed about $16-million worth of renovations.

Designed and decorated to reflect Moroccan and Berber cultures, the spacious Club Med has water features, walkways and landscaping to immerse you in the unique locale.

Golf, tennis and trapeze are among the more than 20 activities on offer. In addition, there’s dromedary and horseback riding, cooking classes and a range of clubs for children between four months and 17 years old. For those wanting to venture farther afield, Club Med offers excursions and tours, like the previously mentioned Atlas Mountain and Agafay Desert jaunt, among others.

Morocco is often regarded as a gateway to the continent and its culture has Berber, Arab, European and African influences. Marrakech, one of the country’s four royal cities (Fez, Meknes and Rabat being the others), is famous for its vibrant colours and history.

And Bahia Palace in the southern part of the medina is a good example of that. Originally built in 1866-67 for a top adviser to the sultan Hassan I, it was used by France when the country was a French protectorate from 1912 to 1956. It was then a royal residence until then King Hassan II gave it to the Ministry of Culture, and it’s now a museum. The complex has about 150 rooms and courtyards with stunning mosaics, carved stucco and woodwork. It’s an impressive example of the grandeur and craftsmanship of the Islamic and Moroccan style.

The nearby Jardin Majorelle, which is marking its 100th anniversary this year, is also remarkable. In 1924, the French painter Jacques Majorelle built his villa and planted a botanical garden to showcase plants he collected from around the world. He opened the gardens to the public in 1947. Yves Saint Laurent and his longtime business partner, Pierre Bergé, bought it in 1980 to save it from hotel developers.

They kept the garden open to the public and lived in the villa for many years. After Yves Saint Laurent died in 2017, his ashes were spread in the garden, which has a memorial to him and Bergé.

The garden, with a vast array of cacti, palms and bougainvillea, also has water features and is a beautiful, shady and refreshing retreat from the nearby medina. The vibrant Majorelle blue buildings provide a fantastic backdrop and house a Berber Museum and the collection of Yves Saint Laurent’s love posters. It leaves me feeling inspired and enchanted by the colours, culture and geography of Marrakech and area.
