Jemaa el-Fna square in Marrakech at sunsetThe red city, where every journey begins.
Marrakech is the starting point of most tours in Morocco: its airport is 15 minutes from the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1985. Two to three days are enough for the city; desert tours, Atlas trips and day trips leave from here every day.
Storytellers, musicians and food stalls fill the square every evening.
Lanterns, leather, spices and carpets, in lanes that change every few steps.
Quiet courtyards behind plain walls, the Majorelle garden, the Menara basin.
Berber villages, valleys and waterfalls for a day away from the city.
Direct flights from most European cities to Marrakech Menara (RAK), 15 minutes from the medina.
Spring and autumn are warm and pleasant. Summer is very hot; winter days are mild and nights cool.
A riad in the medina for the atmosphere, or Hivernage and Guéliz for hotels and easy car access.
Tours pick you up at your riad or hotel; in the medina, the driver meets you at the nearest car access.
