About Marrakech

Marrakech is Morocco's most storied imperial city — a walled medina of souks, riads and hidden gardens on the doorstep of the High Atlas. Most travellers base themselves inside the medina for atmosphere or in Guéliz and Hivernage for modern hotels and easier taxis.

When to visit

March–May and September–November bring 22–28°C days perfect for medina walks and day trips. December and January are quiet and mild; July and August can top 40°C, so plan early mornings and pool afternoons.

Getting around

The medina is walkable but tight — leave luggage at the riad and use petit taxis (agree the fare) for anything outside the walls. The airport is 15 minutes from most hotels.
