Marrakech is full of history and culture and you'll find it all around you in the architecture of the city, from the exquisite Bahia Palace to the ruins of El Badi Palace. At the city centre stands the  Ben Youssef Medersa, walk down its corridor to see magnificent artisan handiwork, jade green marble tiles and pretty balconies. For a more nature-based experience wander around the beautiful Majorelle or Menara Gardens.   

Shop at the Souks

Whether you want to spice up your pantry with North African flavours or buy a carpet to add Moroccan wow-factor to your house this warren of treasures is paradise for shop-til-you-drop fanatics. Don't be afraid to barter - it's customary here. Marrakech prides itself on its link with the legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent. His garden, Jardin Majorelle, is open to the public and in the city's stylish boutiques you'll find chic French inspired clothes and accessories. The Medina Quarter is another hotspot for shoppers where you can buy shoes, handbags, jewellery and much more. 

Sample Moroccan Dishes

Moroccan food is perfect for spice lovers and you'll be able to sample it all here, from the carts selling street food to lovely al-fresco restaurants, there are options to suit all budgets. Marrakech is great for trying fusion cuisine - being a melting pot of cultures, you'll find  influences of Arabian, French and European food here. Hot local tips are Bo Zin, Café Arabe, Al Fassia and Gastro MK for trying local favourites such as fish pastille and zingy zaalouk salads.

Relax in a Hammam

Marrakech has emerged as a great wellness destination and justifiably so with its abundance of spas and hammams (Turkish-style baths). The city’s largest Hammam Dar el-Bacha is highly popular with women, the Heritage Spa is another family-friendly retreat that offers many exotic therapies. Whilst you'll find spas in most hotels, for a ultra-luxurious treatment head to Les Bains de Marrakech, one of the most recommended hammams in the city.
