Destination Highlights

An amazing, culture-rich city
Perfect for families, couples and friends
Plenty of luxury hotels
So much to see and do

Marrakech is a truly unique destination and a treat for all of the senses. Full of bright colours, rich in aromas of spice and packed full of flavour, this vibrant city is bursting with discoveries at every turn. On a Marrakech city break you can spend your days exploring the city’s maze-like medina (the old walled part of town), cool off in an action-packed waterpark or relax in the hidden oasis gardens.

Waterparks

A Marrakech city break can be rather hot in the summer months. So without a sea close by, what better place to cool down than a fun-filled waterpark? Whether you’re looking for an adrenaline-fuelled day out or just fancy floating down a lazy river, Marrakech has something for you. Check out Aqua Fun Club or head to Palooza Land for a blend of both wet and dry attractions. We recommend the world-renowned Oasiria – a mix of high-octane slides, unique attractions and splashtastic kid’s zones.

Let's get down to brass tacks: Marrakech weather! 🌞

From October to April, Marrakech is seriously flexing. The weather's cool, especially in the mornings and evenings, and it's this comfy chill that makes wandering through the souks and palaces an absolute dream. Temperatures? Oh, they're playing it cool between 12°C and 25°C. Perfect for exploring without breaking a sweat.

But then, May through September? Marrakech turns up the heat, quite literally. We're talking temperatures that sizzle between 25°C and 40°C. It's the kind of heat that screams, "Grab a poolside spot or find a shady courtyard!" And honestly, with a fresh mint tea in hand? Not a bad way to roll. 🍵

In short, Marrakech weather doesn't just serve a vibe, it's setting the entire mood. Whether you're lost in the maze-like Medina or soaking in the vibes at Jardin Majorelle, Marrakech knows how to bring it. So, pack according to the season, and maybe throw in a fan or a scarf, depending on your travel dates. Marrakech is ready to show you a good time, no matter the weather.

Visit a souk

You can’t holiday to Morocco without visiting a souk. A part of everyday life for the people of Marrakech, they’re the place to go for almost everything – food, clothes, literature, crafts – you name it, you’ll find it. Work your way through the labyrinth of stalls and don’t forget to test out your bartering skills to bag that bargain.

Go to a Hammam

If you’re looking for a luxurious spa treatment, visit a Hammam. A place where the locals go weekly, you can enjoy relaxing treatments such as being scrubbed, massaged and unwind with a facemask – leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Jardin Majorelle

A stunning garden created by French painter Jaques Marjorelle. Here, you can wander down the pathways, passing bubbling streams and through the numerous gardens – finding a little spot of peace and quiet in the heart of a bustling city.

Djemma el-fna Square

Sitting at the entrance to the city’s medina, this bustling square is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rows of street vendors and food stalls create maze-like streets and offer the perfect place to grab a souvenir. Around the square, you’ll see street performers, live musicians, snake charmers and much more. With so much to do, you could easily spend the whole day here.

Maison de la Photographie

One for the culture enthusiasts, this beautiful riad is a gallery of vintage Moroccan photography that shows what life was like in Morocco between 1870 and 1950. It's also got a lovely cafe on the rooftop so you can enjoy a refreshment whilst taking in city views.

Saadian Tombs

Rediscovered in 1917, these tombs were designed to be a beautiful final resting place for many rulers of the Saadian dynasty. Today, the tombs are the only remnants left behind of this golden era. Each tomb is decorated with intricate carvings and unique mosaic tiling. A fantastic choice for history buffs.

What events can I go to in Marrakech?
1-54 (February)
The ‘Contemporary African Art Fair’, a programme of events and exhibitions where you can discover incredible Moroccan art across the city.
Marrakech Festival of Popular Arts (July)
One of the top annual events of the city, this festival is full of performances and exhibitions from artists, singers, dancers and actors from across the globe.
Oasis Festival (September)
Electronic music, fashion exhibitions, contemporary art and culinary experiences combine to create this feel-good festival. A must-visit for those wanting to dance in the sunshine whilst experiencing local culture.
Marrakech International Film Festival (December)
One for the film enthusiasts, this festival turns the Djemaa el-Fna into an open-air festival where you can see the outstanding work of international film producers.
Nightlife
Explore the busy bars and clubs that sit on and around Avenue Echouhada. For an amazing clubbing experience in Marrakech, we’d recommend VIP ROOM and Theatro – two of the top clubs in the area that host unbeatable and unforgettable events. If you prefer your nights to be spent in stylish bars, enjoy drinks with a view at SKY Bar or a bite to eat with belly dancing shows at Comptoir Darna. Djemma el-fna Square in the early evening features lantern-lined streets, live music and street performers – great for those who like to end their day with more laid-back entertainment.
Food & Drink
With roots in African and Arabic cuisine and influences from as far as Spain and France, it’s no surprise that Moroccan food has travelled the globe. Food here is vibrant, packed full of flavour and heavy with aromas of sweet cinnamon and spices. Traditional meals such as a lamb tagine (an aromatic lamb stew cooked in a clay pot) and cous cous (tasty semolina served with meat or vegetables) can be found on almost every restaurant menu and are must-try dishes.

To really dive into Moroccan flavours, head to the street food market and take your pick from the amazing variety of dishes on offer. Some of our favourites include maakouda (a small fried potato snack served with spicy dipping sauce) and chebakia (flower-shaped sesame cookies served with honey).

Please check with your healthcare provider for all up to date vaccination advice before booking your holiday.

Customers may be required to pay a tourist tax when staying in Morocco. This is usually between £1-£3 per person per night, and is payable in local currency to the hotel.

We are currently closely following the COVID-19 situation and how it affects travel. You can find out the most up to date information about travel to Morocco on the FCDO website.

Please be aware that the Islamic holy month of Ramadan will take place between 22/03/2023 and 20/04/2023. During this time, eating, drinking and smoking will be restricted to the hours between sunset and sunrise, and visitors are expected to observe these practices in public spaces as a sign of respect, meaning many cafés and restaurants will close during the day, restrictions on alcohol sales may be in place, and hotel dining for non-Muslim guests may take place in private rooms. Playing music, dancing, and eating in public areas may also be restricted during this time.
