Day 1 in Marrakech – The Medina

Today we’ll be spending the day in the Medina. It’s an amazing part of the city that is filled with narrow alleys, ancient buildings, incredible vendors, and hidden passageways.

As you walk through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported back to a time when sultans ruled the land and when traders used camels to ride across the Sahara.

It’s a magical place and the perfect way to get acquainted with the red city.

Take Photos at Bab Agnou and Moulay El Yazid Mosque

Wake up early, but not too early, since Marrakech isn’t an early morning kind of place. So, most Marrakech landmarks won’t even open until 9:00 am at the earliest.

However, you can arrive here at 8:40 am since these first two stops are just photo ops. First stop at Bab Agnou and take some awesome photos with this ancient door and gate into the city.

It was built between 1188 and 1190 and is made entirely out of stone. Take your time admiring this impressive structure before heading to Moulay El Yazid Mosque.

Like with most mosques in Marrakech, you can’t go inside. However, you can admire the exterior of the second most important mosque in the city.

It’s located in the Kasbah and was constructed between 1185 and 1190 AD and is now an incredible UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can snag a ton of amazing photos in the early morning light.

Yeah, the amazing material that the mosque is made out of turns a vibrant red in the early morning light.

Local Tip: Most riads in Marrakech will offer you breakfast. However, if you need to find a cool breakfast spot in Marrakech then try Cafe Clock, Fine Mama, The Mandala Society, and Cafe des Epices. All are quite good.

Saadian Tombs

The Saaddian tombs are amazing and sure to impress with stunning tilework, exquisite woodwork, and incredible plasterwork.

Feel free to get here when they open at 9:00 am since this is one of the most popular things to do in Marrakech.

Yeah, the place fills up fast and the actual tombs are pretty small. So, it can be an annoying place to visit in Marrakech when it’s packed with tour groups.

Now, the reason the tombs are so massively beautiful is that they were built by the Saadian Sultan Ahmed Al Mansour Ed Dahbi because he wanted a final resting place almost as grand as the palaces he lived in.

So, he had Badia Palace built and then transformed the adjoining cemetery into this insane mausoleum that you can now visit today.

Tickets are well priced at 60 Dirhams ($6.00) and grant you access to highlights like the Chamber of the 12 Pillars, Lalla Massouda’s Tomb, the Garden Tombs, and the Chamber of Three Niches and Prayer Room.

I dare you not to walk away impressed by the Italian Carrara marble, muqarnas (decorative plasterwork), and gold decor on display.

It’s funny though because these tombs were only recently rediscovered in 1917. Yeah, in 1603 Sultan Moulay Ismail wanted to erase the memory of the old sultan and tried to hide the tombs from everyone. Crazy right?

Badi Palace

I enjoyed my time here since I loved the giant reflecting pool, the epic photos I took of the ruins, and the amazing views that you can see from the top.

But, the architecture definitely isn’t as pretty as what you’ll find in the Saddian Tombs and this place is mostly ruins. So, feel free to skip it if you’re short on time or are just not into Marrakech landmarks like this.

Tickets are 70 Dirhams ($7.00) and grant you access to this giant palace from the 16th century.

Sadly, the building used to be much nicer but was looted by Sultan Ahmed Al Mansour, who brought lots of crystal, gold, and turquoise gems back to Meknes.

However, today you can see old photos of the Kasbah and Mellah in the basement and a meh exhibit on slaves and prisoners.

Yeah, I’d spend most of your time exploring the ruins and the giant reflecting pool inside the complex. There are also art exhibits in the Khayzuran Pavilion and a neat Koutoubia minbar (prayer pulpit) in a small room off the central courtyard.

Bahia Palace

⭐️ Rating: 4.4/5 (147 Reviews) Price: $20 per person Duration: 1.5 hours 📍Meeting Point: In front of the Hôtel Restaurant Café de France Details: Read more on Get Your Guide Now!

Even if you’re short on time and only have a day in Marrakech, this is one place that you absolutely must see in the red city.

Believe it or not, Bahia means “brilliant” in official Arabic, and that is a very fitting name since this place is brilliant.

Regardless of when you visit, you’ll find lots of people here. So, be prepared for crowds. But, a morning visit might help you avoid the hordes of tour groups that show up in the afternoon.

“The tour was really exceptional. Medhi the guide took us through the Medina in the tiny streets. He explained us the history of the places and the origins of the events. You feel like hearing a story told by a special character! At the end he proposed to take a mint tea at the Jewish area renown the fine spices. This generosity is very rare! Many thanks Medhi. Jocelyne and Mario”

Jocelyne (read more reviews now)

Tickets are 70 Dirhams ($7.00) each and allow you to explore 150 rooms inside this mega epic 8,000-square-foot-palace.

So, get ready to see lots of zouak (traditional wood carving), insane tilework, and exquisite plasterwork in the Petit Riad and Grand Riad with their amazing ceilings.

Also stop by the Cour d’Honneur since this is a stunning courtyard with a 1500-square-meter Italian Carrara marble floor that is truly a sight to behold.

Explore the Mellah

Most cities in Morocco have a Mellah and the one in Marrakech is pretty cool. It’s just a lot less touristy and is a great place to go if you want to catch a glimpse of what local life is really like.

But, just in case you don’t know what a “Mellah” is it’s an ancient Jewish Quarter, and the one in Marrakech is actually the second oldest in Morocco.

To visit, enter through Bab Altar Gate and check out museums, street food vendors, souks, and more. Highlights include the Miaara cemetery and the Al Azama synagogue from the 16th century.

I have visited many Jewish cemeteries and synagogues in my life and these were fine but personally, I wouldn’t go out of my way to see them since there are other, cooler things to do in Marrakech.

But, it’s up to you and depends on what you’re into and what you want to do during your 3 days in Marrakech itinerary.

Lunch at Cafe Clock

I personally love Cafe Clock. They have a nice rooftop and a Marrakech lunch menu filled with both traditional and more Western-style foods that are reasonably priced and appeal to everyone.

My go-to order is the Berber Omelet while my partner loves the pancakes. However, I have also ordered the falafel bowl and thought it was really tasty.

Yeah, they have a ton of plant-based food and that makes this a great vegetarian restaurant in Marrakech.

Now, if you’re a more adventurous eater, you’ll want to try the camel burger since, well, when else are you going to order camel?

Local Tip: If you’re not sure what to do in Marrakech at night, come back to Cafe Clock since they host lots of cool live performances in the evening.

It’s a great activity to add to any Marrakech itinerary since this is one of the most unique cafes in Marrakech.

Explore the Souks of the Medina

You’ll hear the word “souk” a lot and it’s just a local market where you can pick up all sorts of cool Marrakech souvenirs like lanterns, tagines, carpets, spices, clothes, etc.

The Medina is extremely hard to navigate and you will get lost. But, that’s part of the fun. So, just enjoy the old-world charm of this place. It’s packed with people, is chaotic, and is filled with foreign smells, but that’s Marrakech for you.

If you see something you like, be sure you have cash and that you haggle for the best price possible.

Just start at 50% of the asking price and go from there. I would just steer clear of “antiques” and jewelry since the quality of both tends to suck since many items aren’t real.

Anyway, explore this place at your leisure and make your way towards Koutubia Mosque and Jemaa el-Fna Square. Try to give yourself enough time so that you can make it to Jemaa el-Fna Square before sunset.

Some of the best souks in Marrakech are Souk Semmarine as well as Souk Cherratine (leather goods), Souk des Teinturiers (vibrant wool everywhere), Souk des Babouche (see lots of traditional shoes), and La Criée Berbère (traditional carpets).

Local Tip: Download Maps.me to navigate the Medina offline. Also, do not accept “directions” from seemingly nice locals. This is usually a scam and you will have to pay a hefty price for those directions.

Visit Koutoubia Mosque

Sadly, non-Muslims are not allowed to enter this mosque in Marrakech. However, it dates back to the 12th century and is well worth seeing since it’s the oldest and most important religious building in the city.

Plus, the minaret is an incredible 250 feet tall (76 meters) and is just lovely to see up close and in person.

There’s even a cool garden surrounding the mosque that you can walk through. It features lovely walking paths shaded by palm trees and awesome fountains.

Afterward, check out the ruins of an old prayer hall before making your way across the street to Jemaa el-Fna Square.

Local Tip: If you want to catch a glimpse of the interior, stop by on Fridays when everyone is entering and exiting the mosque for Friday night services.

Jemaa el-Fna Square

The reason I saved this place for last is because this square doesn’t really come alive with activity until later in the day.

Yeah, this is when the square fills up with musicians, belly dancers, food vendors, snake charmers, and monkey handlers who want you to take photos with their monkey dressed in a tutu.

You’ll also find snake charmers who want you to take photos with their cobras, but I would avoid any animal-related tourism since who knows how these creatures are treated.

Instead, just walk around the square and enjoy the frantic vibe of this place. When you’re ready, go to the roof of one of the cafes surrounding the square.

I usually go to L’Adresse Cafe and Restaurant and order a coffee since the views of the square are awesome. But, all the restaurants in the area are about the same.

You can order some food, enjoy the views, and watch the sunset over the city. Just try and get here early since seats fill upo fast.

It’s a great place to end the day. However, if you want to enjoy a more formal (and better meal) then head to Le Jardin. They just opened a rooftop in Marrakech and the views are epic.

It’s a stellar restaurant where you dine amidst this lavish garden that sits inside the courtyard of an old riad. It’s a great place to try tagines, couscous, and other traditional Moroccan foods.

I loved the shakshouka with eggs (it’s basically like a Berber Omelet) and can’t wait to bring my partner here.

Day 2 – The Gardens and Hidden Gems

Today you’re gonna get out of the Medina and explore some hidden gems inside the Medina that a lot of people overlook. It’s a great day to finish seeing all of the top attractions in Marrakech before getting a bit off the beaten path.

Jardin Majorelle

Jardin Majorelle is probably one of my favorite places in Marrakech. Yes, many people think it’s too touristy and a bit overhyped but I love it and think you need to see it during your 3 days in Marrakech itinerary.

I also decided to visit right when they opened. So, I had the place to myself and was able to explore this garden oasis filled with 300+ plants.

I also had time to check out the Berber Museum inside the blue house. It was okay but a bit small, with around 600 items on display that relate to traditional Moroccan culture.

So, I would skip it unless you love museums and want to learn more about Berber culture since over 600 items related to traditional Moroccan culture are on display.

The highlight for me was the stunning blue house. It was built in 1924 by the original owner, Jacques Majorelle, and was later restored in 1980 by famed designer, Yves Saint Laurent.

It’s a great place to take photos so try to arrive around 8:00 am. or 8:30 am right when they open. You can either walk 30 minutes or take Bus 12 from Bab Doukka to get here.

Local Tip: I would get the combined ticket with the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in advance online so that you can skip the line. It costs about 180 Dirhams ($18.00).

Otherwise, you can get a ticket to the garden only for 70 Dirhams ($7.00) or a ticket to the garden and Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Art for 100 Dirhams ($10.00).

Yves Saint Laurent Museum

I am not into fashion at all but genuinely loved my time at this incredible museum.

It sits right down the road from Jardin Majorelle and is an amazing place to learn about the life of Yves Saint Laurent and to see some of his most beautiful couture pieces.

It’s not a huge museum but I enjoyed walking around and looking at some of the insane clothes that he designed by hand throughout his 40-year career.

You can also watch a film about his life and see the designer’s sketches, cool accessories, and neat temporary exhibits.

There’s also a bookstore and cafe on-site for you to check out if you want to relax for a bit.

Local Tip: If you need to get a ticket to Jardin Majorelle and forget to get one in advance then just go to this museum in Marrakech first. Lines are generally a lot shorter here since this museum down the road is less popular.

Dar El Bacha Museum

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you’re going to have to go back the way you came during this Marrakech 3 day itinerary.

Yeah, everything else you’ll want to see is in the Medina. So, you can either take the same bus back to the Medina or walk 30 minutes to Dar El Bacha Museum.

It’s also worth noting that this famous landmark in Marrakech is closed on Mondays and doesn’t open until 10:00 am.

If you can, get here right when they open since there will be a line of people waiting to get in. Tickets are 60 Dirhams ($6.00) and grant you access to a historic building that was built for Pacha Thami El Glaoui.

It’s an awesome example of riad architecture and features exquisite plasterwork, vibrant zellige tiles, and lovely cedar lintels

It also houses a gorgeous courtyard that makes for a great place to relax as you explore the artifacts housed inside small rooms off the courtyard.

Highlights include Al Driss’s 12th-century Mediterranean map and exploring the inner workings of a traditional hammam.

Local Tip: I would head to the courtyard first and put your name down for a table at Bacha Coffee. While you wait, kill time exploring the museum.

Relax at Bacha Coffee

I love Bacha Coffee and visit every time I am in Marrakech. I just adore the opulent decor, the incredible coffee, and the amazing croissants, making this one of my fave brunch places in Marrakech.

So, have your camera at the ready because you’ll want to take lots of photos of the elaborate wooden coffee bar and a light and airy atrium filled with black and white tiled floors and large potted plants.

But, it’s not just about the decor since the coffee and croissants are both divine. Just grab a textbook-esq menu filled with hundreds of different coffees.

Once you select your coffee, your waiter (wearing a fed fes hat) will bring you a golden pot filled with delicious coffee. You’ll even get fresh whipped cream and grated vanilla to go with it.

Pair your coffee with an order of croissants (two come in an order) and enjoy one of the best things to do in Marrakech.

Local Tip: The prices are VERY reasonable and I never leave without ordering an almond croissant.

Explore Ben Youssef Madrasa (Ibn Youssef School)

⭐️ Rating: 4.7/5 ( Reviews) Price: $25 per person Duration: 3 hours 📍Meeting Point: Meet in front of Café de France Details: Read more on Get Your Guide Now!

After thoroughly enjoying the croissants and coffee at Bacha Coffee, it’s a quick 10-minute walk to the next stop on this 3 day Marrakech itinerary.

This is one of the coolest landmarks in Marrakech since it was built in the 14th century and was the biggest college in North Africa at one time.

“Excellent tour and a perfect introduction to the city, Mohammed was excellent and took us to some great secret spots we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Highly recommended!”

Dominic (read more reviews now)

Today, it is the biggest madrasa in Morocco and is a great place to see beautiful tilework since the building was beautifully constructed, at the request of Sultan Abu Inan Faris, to house over 900 students

Take time to explore the building’s many prayer halls, courtyards, and dorm rooms since the entire place is just stunning.

To visit, just pay 70 Dirhams ($7.00) for a ticket upon arrival.

Maison de la Photographie (Photography Museum)

Just a quick 3-minute walk from Ben Youssef Madrasa is the Photgrpahy Museum. It’s a unique spot that was created by Parisians Patrick Menac’h and Hamid Mergani.

The both enjoyed the beauty of old Moroccan photos and wanted to share their love of photography with the masses.

So, they decided to turn an old riad into a beautiful museum with 4,500 vintage photos, 2,000 glass negatives, and 80 documents that date back to any time between 1870 and 1950.

It’s not a huge museum but it’s well done and the museum is spread out across three floors, separated by theme and region.

After your visit, grab a coffee on the rooftop since this is one of the best rooftops in Marrakech. Or, take some cool prints home with you that were created using original negatives from the museum.

Le Jardin Secret

Well-located in the Medina, this cute little garden is just a 10-minute walk from the Photography Museum and is a great place to go for a bit of botanical bliss during your 3 days in Marrakech itinerary.

This stunning, tradtional Islamic/extoic garden was built atop the ruins of a historic building from over 400 years ago and was designed to show people how ancient irrigation systems actually worked.

So, learn about the unique irrigation system (khettara) that was used to transform this desert into an oasis of greenery and explore an exotic garden as well as a traditional Islamic garden filled with olive trees, fig-trees, date trees, etc.

Afterward, visit various exhibits that detail the old riad’s extensive history and learn about why water is so important both today and historically.

There’s also a nice cafe on the ramparts but I wouldn’t pay extra to climb to the top of the tower. Yeah, you can see these views from the roof of any cafe.

Enjoy Dinner at Nomad

Nomad is not a secret and is easily one of the best restaurants in Marrakech. Therefore, make a reservation and get ready to enjoy a rooftop view to remember.

If you can, the best time to visit is around sunset. This way you can watch the sky light up as you relax on the restaurant’s vibrant cushions and admire the Moroccan carpets on the floor.

The food here is a mix of Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine. So, you can’t go wrong with the harissa chicken, the lamb, or the vegetarian couscous.

It’s not cheap though, so expect to spend around 200 Dirhams ($20.00) per entree which is a pretty steep price for Morocco.

Day 3 – Get Outside Marrakech

Today you have two different options. You can either relax at the Hamman and then check out the tanneries in Marrakech. I would only visit the tanneries in Marrakech if you are not going to Fes since the tanneries in Fes are MUCH better.

Otherwise do a fun day trip from Marrakech. There are a ton of options to choose from. Some of my faves are the Atlas Mountains, the Ourika Valley, Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Hadou, and Essaouira.

If you’re exhausted stay in the city, and if you are ready for a long day spent exploring other parts of the country then go on a day trip. I would do the day trip. but that’s just me.

Relax at the Hamman (Optional)

After a jam packed 2 days exploring Marrakech, sleep in and get ready to unwind at a local hammam in Marrakech.

If you’re not sure what a hammam is, it’s a public bathhouse where locals go to relax in a steam room and exfoliate their skin with black soap.

You can opt for a traditional public hammam for a more authentic experience, or try a luxurious private hammam that is geared towards tourists.

Opting for the public bath means you’ll need to bring your own bathing supplies and that you’ll need to bathe nude in front of people of the same gender.

The entire process might take you about one and a half to two hours, especially if you enjoy sitting in the steam. This is a more budget-friendly option and is a must-try at Hammam Mouassine since they have English-speaking guides to help you out.

I went with a private hammam experience at Les Bains de Marrakech. This upscale spa offers a serene environment in which you can enjoy traditional hammam treatments that are complemented by a massage.

The service was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and I spent around two glorious hours here. I loved having my privacy and the assistance of friendly staff members.

Just be sure to sip on some mint tea after your treatment since you’ll feel a bit thirsty.

See the Marrakech Tanneries (Optional)

The tanneries are about a 15-minute walk from the medina and make for one of the best free things to do in Marrakech.

They are not as good, or as big, as the ones in Fes and I only suggest visiting if you don’t have enough time to travel to Fes.

Anyway, the Marrakech tanneries can be found on Rue Bab El Debbagh and sit right against the ancient walls of the city.

Feel free to explore on your own at no cost or pay for a guide to walk you through the facility and teach you more about the leather-making process.

It’s a nice experience since you’ll see people using the vats, working with the hides, and creating lots of cool leather items.

Just be prepared for the smell which gets more unpleasant as the day goes on.

Take a Day Trip Outside of the City

If you feel energetic and don’t want to relax at the hammam and chill in the city, then here are some cool day trips you might want to check out.

I personally would do the day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira, but I am biased and live in Essaouira. LOL.

• Essaouira – This quiet seaside village is where I live and it is about a 3-hour bus ride from Marrakech to Essaouira. To get to Essaouira from Marrakech, take a Supratours bus to the Medina in Essaouira. Once there, check out the Main Beach, Port de Scala, the Old Scala, and walk through the blue and white medina. You can book a guided tour but it’s pretty easy to do on your own and you don’t need a guide since the Medina is quite small. This way you don’t have to decide between Essaouira or Marrakech.

• Explore the Atlas Mountain – During this incredible full-day tour, your expert local guide will take you on a magical trek through the High Atlas Mountains. You’ll see local Berber villages as you hike through Ait Mizan, Targa, and Imoula. Take in sweeping views of the picturesque orchards in Tamatert and enjoy a delicious traditional meal inside a Berber house in Ait Souka. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this tour and recommend it to anyone who likes hiking and culture.

• Ourika Valley – This amazing day trip will take you on an incredible journey through the High Atlas Mountains and to Ourika Valley. It’s a seriously beautiful place where you’ll be able to visit local Berber homes, admire incredible waterfalls, explore local souks, and visit an argan cooperative during one fun day.

• Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Hadou – If you do this trip it will be a LONG day so prepare for like 6 hours of driving. I also do not recommend this day trip if you are doing a 3-day trip from Marrakech to the Sahara since you will since this place along the way. That being said, I loved my visit here since this ancient clay city is super unique. You’ll also pass through the Atlas Mountains (you just stop and take pics of the view) before heading to Ait Ben Hadou.

Where to Stay in Marrakech

If you can, spend the night in a riad. It’s a cool, traditional Moroccan-style house where all the rooms sit around a nice central courtyard.

However, regardless of your budget, you’ll be able to find an amazing place to stay during your 3 days in Marrakech itinerary.

• The Central House (budget) – I love this place so much that I have stayed here at least 3 or 4 times since it’s one of the best hostels in Marrakech. It’s cheap, is more like a boutique hotel than a hostel, is quiet, and well-located in the Medina. They have an amazing sun deck and a small pool that I love using. Plus, all the dorm rooms are awesome and come with lockers, privacy curtains, outlets, lights, fluffy pillows, nice blankets, private bathrooms, and anything else you might need.

• Riad Palais Sebban (Mid-range) – This charming budget riad in Marrakech sits inside a full-on palace from the 18th century that is well-located near the main square. So, relax in the amazing tile-filled courtyard before heading back to colorful rooms with private balconies. You can even use the on-site hammam and restaurant too.

• La Sultana (Luxury) – Stay inside a luxury Marrakech riad and enjoy a 5-star luxury experience that includes exceptional service, a delicious traditional breakfast, and spacious rooms with modern amenities. You’ll also be well-located near the Medina and can use cool amenities like a spacious sundeck, a heated outdoor pool, and an on-site restaurant. It’s a top contender for one of the best riads in Marrakech with a pool.

How to Get to Marrakech

Marrakech is well-connected to just about every major city in Morocco by plane, train, and bus. You can fly directly from Europe into Marrakech Menara International Airport via many European budget airlines.

Once here, you can get from Marrakech Airport to the city center via the Airport Bus (#19). Or, simply hail a taxi into the Medina from the on-site taxi stand. Do NOT book a taxi directly since they will overcharge you.

Alternatively, you could also use an ONCF train to travel to Marrakech from Fes, and other major cities, as well as Supratours or CTM buses.

Just be aware that CTM and Supratours both have their own company bus stations in Marrakech. In general, the bus is cheaper than the train, but the train is faster.

However, buses and trains both offer safe, cheap, reliable, and comfortable ways to get around Morocco.

Best Time to Visit Marrakech

The best time to visit Marrakech is between October in Marrakech and November in Marrakech. The weather is warm, but not hot, and the days are long. The crowds of summer are gone and you can find great deals on hotels and flights.

Winter is also a great time to visit Marrakech if you don’t mind cold nights, as is any time between March and May if you don’t mind possibly traveling during Ramadan.

Personally, I like December in Marrakech much better than September in Marrakech.

What to Wear in Marrakech

Generally, women should wear long, loose clothing that covers their knees, shoulders, and chest.

This type of clothing keeps you cool and reduces the chances of you getting sunburned in Marrakech. It’s also culturally appropriate since Morocco is a conservation Muslim country.

Opt for light fabrics like cotton and linen when deciding what to wear in Marrakech. Also dress nicely if you plan on visiting the best Marrakech restaurants with alcohol.

Additionally, research what to avoid wearing in Marrakech or what to wear in Morocco so you’re prepared for your trip.
