Jemaa el-Fnaa square in Marrakech lit up at dusk

Morocco

Marrakech

Souks, riads and a square that comes alive at dusk.

The medina's covered markets lead to Jemaa el-Fnaa, the central square that fills with food stalls and performers in the evening. Riad courtyards offer calm in between, and the Atlas Mountains are within reach for day trips.

Best for

  • Markets
  • Architecture
  • Food
  • Mountain day trips
Covered market street with slatted roof light in the Marrakech medina

Good to know

  • The medina's lanes are easy to get lost in; save your riad's location offline.
  • Agree on prices before taxis and guided services.
  • Dress codes are more conservative outside tourist areas.
