Things To Do
Jemaa el-Fna
Shopping in the Jemaa El Fna is a MUST when visiting Marrakech and no trip to Morocco is complete without it! This is the traditional open-air market (or Souk) experience where you can shop for delicious spices, handwoven traditional Berber wool rugs, intricate pottery and so much more. Most merchants will typically only accept cash, so we encourage that you have Moroccan Dirhams with as you shop. There are some merchants that will also accept credit card and can ship larger items (such as rugs or furniture) back to the United States if preferred. There are also many companies that provide private (and inexpensive) walking tours if you're interested in exploring the Souk with a local and learning more about the history of the city. You can find private tour companies online or through Airbnb experiences.
Jardin Majorelle Botanical Gardens
The Jardin Majorelle, or Majorelle Garden, is a botanical and artist’s landscape garden in Marrakech. Originally created by the French artist Jacques Majorelle over a period of 40 years, and later restored by Yves Saint-Laurent, it is one of the most beautiful gardens in Morocco. The Jardin Majorelle can get quite busy, so we encourage going early to beat the crowds and to purchase tickets in advance.
Saadian Tombs
The Saadian Tombs are a stunning example of Morocco's rich history and culture. Built in the 16th century, the tombs are a testament to the power and grandeur of the Saadian dynasty. The tombs are a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a glimpse into the past and a chance to explore the intricate architecture. The Saadian Tombs can get quite busy, so we encourage going early to beat the crowds and to purchase tickets in advance.
