Most Popular Places and Activities to Explore in Marrakech 

Bahia Palace

“Bahia” is roughly translated as “beautiful”, so as the name suggests when you walk into this magnificent 150-room palace, you can safely say that you’ve 

entered into heaven. This palace was home to Abu Bou Ahmed, who spent lavishly on its decoration. From the painted, gilded ceilings above, right down to the polychrome zellige tiling below, this palace will make your jaw drop as soon as you set your eyes on its beauty.

Souk Semmarine

If you don’t already collect souvenirs from every place you visit, it’s probably a good idea to start now. You’re certainly going to remember these travels and having a little memento for a little recollection will definitely bring a smile to your face a few years down the line. Well then, speaking of souvenirs, the Souk Semmarine is the largest and most famous marketplace in Marrakech. The variety of products ranges from rugs and leather goods to silverware and crockery of all shapes and sizes. Feel free to go on and on haggling with the local vendors - they’re very friendly. You could spend an entire day in this marketplace - just make sure you don’t get lost!

Ateliers d’Ailleurs

To all the craftsmen out there who love getting their hands dirty, to create a beautiful piece of pottery, the Ateliers d’Ailleurs is for you. So go on and get a chance to meet, talk to, and work with the finest craftsmen, in their own studios. Learn how to make your own basket, pottery, or slippers out of clay. Have a chat with the artists over a cup of tea, and hear how they became masters of their craft. When you return from the Ateliers d’Ailleurs, you will definitely have a whole new appreciation for the work that you just saw at the Souk Semmarine

Souk Cuisine

Food is a huge part of Moroccan culture, so if you’re missing out on that, you’re missing out on a lot. The whole essence of using all five senses in Marrakech is essentially in the food. The best way to know more about the city and its traditions is to visit the Souk Cuisine. The local women out there will take you on a tour of the souks where they will teach you how to shop for all your ingredients, after which you will be taught how to cook a variety of dishes.

Hammam De La Rose

From all your visits to the marketplace and then having to cook your own meal after crafting out your favourite designed basket of clay, you will definitely be extremely drained. Well, not to worry, because Marrakech has got you covered. Go and take the most relaxing scrub with your friends and family at the Hammam De La Rose - a public bathhouse where almost every Moroccan goes for his weekly “me time”. This is the most restorative experience ever, with 

traditional treatments being offered, such as scrubs, masques, and massages, in all its luxury! 

Cafe Clock

Cafe Clock is a restaurant cum cafe cum cultural centre, where one can spend a beautiful evening, taking a sip out of their cup of chamomile tea while 

listening to Morocco’s native Gnaouan music in the background.

The best time to visit Marrakech is during the spring and autumn seasons when temperatures are consistently pleasant without it getting unbearably hot. The months of May and September are ideal in terms of weather since rainfall tends to be lower than in the other months.
