Places to visit

Travel tips & inspiration to explore Marrakech differently

Marrakech is a city of places you enter rather than pass by: the medina and its souks, the palaces and madrasas, the gardens that give the city its breath, the Palmeraie to the north and the Art Deco streets of Gueliz. This section gathers our guides to each of them, written from the ground by the Insiders who ride through these neighbourhoods every day: what to expect, when to go, how long to stay, what it costs, and the details a visit on your own would miss. Many of these places sit on one of our six sidecar rides, from the Essential Ride, which devotes 1h30 to a single district of your choice, to the Secret Ride, which crosses the Palmeraie, Gueliz and the medina in one 3-hour ride. Read, choose, then take the time to see them properly.
