Marrakech

Things to do in Marrakech, Morocco

My top things to do in Marrakech

It can be hard to know where to start exploring in the maze of Marrakech. This list of sights can be easily done in a day or two – and leave time to relax.

Ben Youssef Madrasa, Marrakech, Morocco

North Africa’s largest madrasa

Although it was built 500 years ago, the Ben Youssef Madrasa has hardly changed. Once the largest Islamic school in North Africa, it’s now a must visit!

Bahia Palace, Marrakech, Morocco

Brilliant beautiful bahia

Built in the 1800s, this Marrakech palace is an insight into the luxury of nobility and a beautiful example of Moroccan and Islamic art.

Marrakech souks in the medina, Morocco

Souk it all up

The heaving souks of Marrakech hit all your senses at once – the smell of spices mixing with the shouts of vendors and the vibrant colours of the goods.

Getting lost in Marrakech in Morocco

Getting lost… and found… in Marrakech

The maze of streets and alleyways in the medina of Marrakech will confuse any visitor. Luckily there’s a solution… although not is all as it seems!
