What To Do There

There are lots of planned day trips you can take part in if you’re based in Marrakesh. Why not opt for Morocco desert tours which can be incredibly exciting! You can trek through the sandy dunes, taking in its nature and enjoying the culture, seeing village life first hand and feeling part of something very special. For those who prefer a little less adventure, there are always things to do in the city; there are lots of temples to walk around, and the markets are delightful! You can find pottery, traditional textiles, lots of street food and enjoying the culture of the city will give you such a buzz! The Jardin Majorelle is a small oasis in the big city, a beautiful garden full of luscious plants and flowers. The Bahia Palace is a majestic building in the centre which is open to visitors and will allow you to capture the history of the city. Koutoubia is a 12th century mosque where you can experienced the religion of the country and see how the influences of Islam have affected the city, it’s truly a wonderous city that is full of surprises. There is so much to see, you probably need at least a week in the city. 

There are also a plethora of museums where you can soak up all the information as well as art installations around the city and often there may be events on. During the summer, although it is hot and may feel a little suffocating, you will see the city during the time of Ede and get to be part of the festivals and the buzz of the city during this important time of year. Flights are available often from many major airports across the UK and on the whole, Morocco is an affordable city with so much to do! 

Where To Stay

You will find hotels that range from inexpensive to pure luxury. In the hills of Morocco you will find Richard Branson’s hotel, a major five star resort which is a very luxurious stay; but if you want something a little more affordable you might want to look to stay in Marrakesh centre. If you are dubious of staying in a hotel that is independent, then you can always opt for the big chain hotels, which include Radissons, Four Seasons, Hilton and Marriott. You may want to stay in your own place, perhaps an Air bnb, so the best neighbourhoods to look to stay are:

  1. Medina - good for first timers, everything is easily accessible and nearby for tourists.
  2. Kennaria - it is good value, with lots of shops and restaurants nearby that are affordable and there may be good value apartments in this area.
  3. Gueliz - trendy and hip, plenty of bars, lots of places to relax, wind down, have a drink and plenty of stylish bars, if you’re with friends, this may be a great place to stay! 
  4. Hivernage - cool and fun, it’s again a great place to visit with friends, it has a nice feel, good community and generally a very cool spot to be in the city.
  5. Chrifia - relaxed and a little out of the way of the crowds, it’s a little more peaceful and quiet. 

So if you’re looking to start your 2020 travel bucket list soon, make sure you add Morocco to your list!
