What are some of the best things to do in Marrakech?

Marrakech offers an assorted mix of activities for any type of traveller, whether it’s culture or shopping or history. Here are some recommendations:

• Soak in the souks: If there is one thing you should not miss on your trip to Marrakech, it’s this. The Red City is knows for its souks, which are open-air markets where you can find an array of local finds from carpets, clothing, food, and spices to name but few. Located near the main square of Jemaa al-Fna, Souk Semmarine is probably the most visited souk in Marrakech. It is Morocco’s biggest market and features shops selling everything from textiles to food to jewellery to lamps. Our tip? Come in the morning to experience it with fewer crowds.
• Have a fashion moment: Yves Saint Laurent arrived in Marrakech in 1962, and you could say that it was love at first visit for the fashion designer. The city became his inspiration and home, purchasing several properties in the city, among them Jardin Majorelle in the 1980s. Now open to the public, its unforgettable blue villa amidst a beautiful garden is a must-see, while the Musée Yves Saint Laurent next to Jardin Majorelle is worth a stop for anyone looking to explore more of the designer’s body of work.
• Treat yourself: Going to a hammam (bathhouse) is tradition in Morocco. But for those who wants a little pampering on their holiday, Marrakech is home to several spa hammams (like the popular Hammam de la Rose), where you can indulge in traditional bathhouse rituals alongside treatments such as massages and facials.
