What to Do in Marrakech – A Local’s Guide

Welcome to Marrakech, a city that awakens all your senses with its vibrant colors, rich history, and endless energy. This is a short and curated travel guide to help you discover the best of what to do and see in Marrakech — no long descriptions, just the highlights you should not miss. Start by exploring the heart of the city: the Medina and the famous Jemaa el-Fna square

As you wander, make sure to visit some of Marrakech’s most iconic landmarks, like the Bahia Palace, the Koutoubia Mosque, and the historic Ben Youssef Madrasa — each one offering a glimpse into the city’s rich history and craftsmanship.

Take a break from the hustle and step into the serene Majorelle Garden, a peaceful oasis of exotic plants and striking cobalt blue accents. Designed by artist Jacques Majorelle and later restored by Yves Saint Laurent, it's one of the most photogenic spots in town.

No trip to Marrakech is complete without diving into the souks. From handmade lanterns, carpets and ceramics, the local markets are full of treasures waiting to be discovered. 

And of course, where you stay matters. A traditional riad offers not just accommodation, but an authentic Moroccan experience — with calm courtyards, stunning tilework, and warm local hospitality. At Riad Zeitoun Palace, we invite you to stay with us and enjoy Marrakech from the inside, with personalized recommendations and curated local experiences.
