A Medina That’s a World of Its Own
Marrakech’s historic medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and for good reason. It’s a living, breathing maze of market stalls, spice towers, artisan workshops and secret courtyards. One moment you’re surrounded by handmade lanterns and leather goods, the next you're sipping orange juice in a shaded square while musicians and storytellers perform around you.
The Beauty of Moroccan Design
The city is a showcase of Morocco’s famous craftsmanship. From the intricate tilework of Bahia Palace to the hypnotic symmetry of riad interiors, Marrakech is an architecture lover’s dream. Every corner seems Instagram-ready – but these spaces are even more powerful in person, with stories etched into every mosaic.
Where Ancient Meets Ultra-Cool
Marrakech may be steeped in history, but it's also surprisingly trendy. The city’s modern quarter, Gueliz, is home to chic restaurants, rooftop bars and designer boutiques. Meanwhile, hip cafés and concept stores are popping up in the medina too – offering a stylish twist on the traditional.
Weather
Marrakech is sunny year-round, but spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable temperatures. Summers can be hot – often above 40°C – while winters are cooler but still bright and pleasant during the day.
Spoken Languages and Currency
The main languages are Arabic and French, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and shops. The currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). Bargaining is a way of life in the souks – so have fun with it!
