Things to do in Marrakech in one day

Discovering the city of Marrakech – City trip

The medina is the old part of Marrakech with small busy streets. You can enter this old town from the grandeur square of Djemma el-Fna, where you can see almost half of the locals congregating. In the evenings, people hang out with traditional musicians, open-air theaters, random acrobats, and snake charmers. Once you are in the medina you will feel like you are back in time in a different way. A visit to Marrakech’s medina is sure to be an experience full of colorful local life. The best time to visit Djemaa el-Fna square and the medina is after midday around 4:00 pm.

Of course, it is better to visit other attractions in the city in the morning, such as Jardin Majorelle. Jardin Majorelle is one of the most popular places in the city that can be visited (entry is not free). This is a 12-acre botanical garden considered to be an artist’s paradise. Jardin Majorelle was created by Jacques Majorelle, a French painter. Over time, the Botanical Garden was bought by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in the 1980s and restored. The Jardin Majorelle has a small museum that focuses on Berber culture. “Since my arrival in Marrakech in 1966, I have remained fascinated by Berber art and culture.” -Pierre Bergé

Menara Gardens, Saadian Tombs, Bahia Palace, and El Badi Palace are other great places worth visiting. You can also enjoy the Koutoubia mosque architecture from the outside, as the mosque is still used for worship, and non-Muslims are not allowed inside. The highlight of the Koutoubia Mosque minaret is the 70-meter-high tower which can be seen all over Marrakech. You can get a city map at your accommodation.

Try a traditional hammam

If you want to try the public steam bath in Marrakech, the traditional hammam is the best option for you. Hammams are made for the public, so expect to have to share them with other people. Scrubbing your body and taking a steam bath in a hammam is one way to open your eyes to the culture of that country.

Cook traditional and delicious Moroccan cuisine

The cuisines of Morocco are combinations of influences and these are Turkish cuisine, Arab Andalusian cuisine, Middle Eastern cuisine, French cuisine, and Berber cuisine. If you want to complete your trip by learning to cook Moroccan food you can make that happen and that’s through riads. Many riads give cooking classes in the city. Learning to cook Moroccan food is one way to get used to the culture that lives in the country.

Stretch your muscles by walking

In the 2 days, escape the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and discover the nearby spots.  You can take a one-day trip to experience the surroundings of Marrakech, on the recent post I wrote about the day trips you can do in the Marrakech region. The only trips that I didn’t mention are the Agafay desert and climbing the Toubkal mountain.
