Marrakech

The Red City — souks, riads, rooftops and desert on the doorstep

Marrakech is the easiest place to start a Moroccan holiday. Inside the ochre walls you get labyrinthine souks, palaces, hammams and hundreds of courtyard riads; twenty minutes out of town the Agafay stone desert, the Palmeraie and the High Atlas foothills open up. It is our most-booked base, with direct flights from most of Europe and a two-hour transfer radius that covers quad biking, balloon rides, waterfalls and Berber villages.

Plan Marrakech with us

We book the tours, the riad or villa, the driver and the tables — one plan, one point of contact.

Highlights of Marrakech

Jemaa el-Fnaa & the souks

Guided evening walks through the food stalls, spice lanes and lantern workshops with a local who knows the fair price.

Agafay desert dinners

Sunset camel rides, quad bikes and candlelit camp dinners under 40 minutes from the medina.

Palaces & gardens

Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs, Le Jardin Secret and Majorelle, timed to avoid the coach crowds.

Atlas day trips

Ourika Valley, Imlil trekking and the Ouzoud waterfalls, all doable as a private day out.

Know before you go

Best time to visit

March–May and September–November for warm days and cool evenings. July and August regularly exceed 40°C — book pool riads and early-morning tours.

Getting there & around

Menara Airport is 15 minutes from the medina. Cars cannot enter most medina lanes, so we meet you at the nearest gate and porter your bags. Private driver and vehicle is the most comfortable option for day trips.

Where to stay

A restored riad inside the medina for atmosphere, or a Palmeraie villa with pool and staff if you are travelling as a family or group. Both can be booked with chef, driver and daily housekeeping add-ons.

Eating & drinking

Rooftop terraces around the Kasbah, palace dinners with live gnawa, and street-food trails in the Mellah. We hold tables at the places that book out weeks ahead.

Local tips

  • Fridays are quieter — many workshops close for midday prayers.
  • Carry small notes for the souks; card payment is rare outside restaurants.
  • Dress lightly but modestly in the medina; the coast is far more relaxed.
