Marrakesh dazzles with its rich imperial history, vibrant souks, and the iconic Koutoubia Mosque, all nestled within its maze-like medina.

Easily accessible from abroad, Marrakech is the most famous city in Morocco, where English and French are widely spoken. Get lost in the picturesque alleyways of the Medina, passing by the Jemaa El-Fna square, then visit the Bahia Palace, the Majorelle garden (get your tickets online!) and the Menara ones. In search of jetset, go to La Mamounia for drinks and end the evening at the Jad Mahal nightclub. Restaurants change often but you can go to Le Jardin, La Famille (our favorite), Nomad, Al Fassia, the rooftop of Dar Marjana, or Le Café des épices. Le Grand Café de la Poste, paying homage to the movie Casablanca, is the perfect spot for an afternoon mint tea. And rumor has it that the best keftas are at the Afriquia gas station, just before the roundabout on the road to Ouarzazate.
