The Pulse of the Medina

All roads in Marrakech lead to Jemaa el-Fnaa. By day, it is a vast open square filled with orange juice stalls and henna artists. By night, it transforms into the world’s largest open-air dining room. Smoke rises from hundreds of grills, and storytellers draw crowds in the flickering light.

The Strategy: Don't eat in the center of the square (it’s a tourist trap). instead, head to a rooftop café like Café de France or Le Grand Balcon one hour before sunset. Watch the chaos from above with a mint tea in hand.

For the Design Lovers

If you love the intricate Zellige tiles on our [Red City Craft Sinks], you must visit their spiritual home.

• Ben Youssef Madrasa: Recently reopened after a massive restoration. It is the largest Islamic college in Morocco. The floor-to-ceiling mosaic work is the finest in the country.

• The Bahia Palace: A 19th-century masterpiece intended to be the greatest palace of its time. The painted cedar ceilings and stained glass windows are pure inspiration for our [Hand-Painted Wood Decor].

Bring the Palace Home: You don't need a palace to have royal decor. Our Royal Burgundy Velvet Caftans are inspired by the deep red tones found in the Bahia harem rooms.

The Treasure Hunt

The Souks of Marrakech are a labyrinth. This is where you find the treasures.

• Souk Semmarine: The main artery. Good for looking, expensive for buying.

• Souk des Teinturiers (Dyers' Souk): Where wool and silk are dyed in vibrant colors.

What to Buy (And What to Skip):

• BUY: Spices (Ras el Hanout), Argan Oil, and small leather goods.

• SKIP: The massive ceramics or heavy furniture unless you want to pay exorbitant airline baggage fees.

The "Smart Shopper" Hack: Falling in love with a giant Moroccan Leather Pouf or a heavy Ceramic Sink? Don't drag it to the airport. We work with the same Maalems (Artisans). Buy it from us, and we ship it via FedEx to your door.

• Shop Genuine Leather Poufs (Unstuffed & Light)

• Shop Hand-Painted Vessel Sinks

The Fashion Pilgrimage

Created by French painter Jacques Majorelle and saved by Yves Saint Laurent, the Jardin Majorelle is a masterclass in color. The famous "Majorelle Blue" villa is iconic.

• Pro Tip: Book your tickets online weeks in advance. The queue can be 2 hours long.

• Wear: Contrast the blue walls with warmth. Our Linen Resort Gandouras in Cream or Terra Cotta look stunning here.

The "Stone Desert" Sunset

If you don't have time to drive 9 hours to the Sahara dunes, the Agafay Desert is your answer. Located just 45 minutes from the city center, it offers a lunar landscape of stone dunes.

The Vibe: Camel rides at sunset followed by a candlelit dinner in a luxury tent. Agafay Desert Sunset, Camel Ride & Dinner Show

Q: How many days in Marrakech is enough? A: We recommend 4 days. Two days for the Medina/Souks, one day for the New City (Gueliz/Majorelle), and one day for a trip to the Atlas Mountains or Agafay.

Q: Is it safe to walk at night? A: In the main tourist areas, yes. Marrakech is very safe, but beware of pickpockets in crowded squares. Stick to the lit main streets in the Medina.

Q: What is the best time to visit? A: Spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November). Avoid August unless you love 45°C (113°F) heat.
