Marrakech is unique and will take your breath away. It is easily one of the most spectacular cities filled with vibrancy and an exhilaration of all senses.
Marrakech is an atmosphere, it is a state of mind, it is a play of lights and colors, it is bustle in the streets, it is the smell of argan, cous cous and mint.
In this pocket guide to Marrakech, we'll share how to explore and be delighted by all its majesty and wonder!

Getting around Marrakech
In our opinion, the best way to get around Marrakech and outside the the city is surely by cab.
What's great about their drivers is that you can haggle prices with them and you can ask them to be your personal driver for the duration of your stay too!

Where and what to eat in Marrakech

There is one thing we advise all travelers to Marrakech: If you're a "foodie", taste every dish of Moroccan cuisine! Do not be prejudiced, order every typical dish and be surprised by the spices, colors and cooking of each food.

Don't miss:
Yoyale cous cous, lemon chicken tajine with olives, and the Pastilla, a puff pastry pie with chicken, squab or squid inside and almond granules, cinnamon and sugar on the outside

Let's talk about costs: prices are always quite affordable compared to many other top destinations. For a 3 course menu, costs average from 20 to 35 euros per person.

One of Our favorite restaurant in Marrakech is La Maison Arabe!

Where to stay in Marrakech

What to see in Marrakech and other information

Marrakech is a treasure chest of wealth, beauty, history...every corner will be a discovery, a surprise, an enchantment.

However, do not miss these places:

The souk: The typical Arab market where haggling before buying something is a must

Jeema el Fna Square: the chaotic town square where you will find Berber dancers, snake charmers and street vendors

Bahia Palace: considered a masterpiece of traditional Moroccan architecture.

Majorelle Gardens: This garden complex was designed by French artist Jacques Majorelle in 1931, during the colonial period.

The majorelle blue is very famous and even conquered Yves Saint Laurent who purchased it in 1980.
