Find out more about Marrakech City
The beating heart of the city is the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which is a maze of narrow alleyways lined with traditional souks. Here, artisans display their crafts, from ornate lanterns and rugs to handmade jewellery and delicate perfumes. The sounds of haggling and the rhythms of Berber drums mingle with the distant call to prayer, providing a lively soundtrack for this bustling marketplace.
Jemaa el-Fna Square, the medina's epicentre, transforms as the day progresses. By day, street performers and henna tattoo artists enthral visitors, while at night, the square becomes an open-air theatre, alive with storytellers, musicians, and stalls serving fresh food.
If you’re a connoisseur of cuisine, you’ll be delighted with traditional Moroccan dishes, like slow-cooked lamb tagine, sweet pastilla, and almond ghriba cookies, which are best washed down with steaming mint tea. Or, for gourmands, there are the trendy eateries and cocktail terraces of the more modern Ville Nouvelle.
Beyond the medina, Marrakech offers tranquil gardens like Jardin Majorelle, an oasis of calm with its iconic cobalt blue structures and lush plant life, while palatial hotels and boutique riads with palm-fringed pools and shaded courtyards offer respite from the city's hustle.
