Things to do in Marrakech

Experiences that stay with you longer than any monument. Small groups or private, led by people who do this for a living.

Things to do in Marrakech beyond the monuments

Marrakech rewards travellers who get their hands into it: a cooking class in a riad after a visit to the market, an afternoon at the wheel with a potter, a morning in the souks with a local who knows the artisans and the fair prices, or a sunrise flight in a hot air balloon over the Atlas foothills. These experiences take between three hours and half a day and fit around the rest of your stay.

They are led by professionals who do this every day, in small groups or privately, and most include pick-up from your riad in the medina.

Questions travellers ask

How many days do I need in Marrakech?

Two full days cover the monuments and the souks; a third day for one of these experiences or a day trip is what most travellers remember best.

Are these experiences suitable for children?

Cooking classes, pottery and the gardens tour work from about 5 years old; the balloon flight from 6. Tell us the ages and we will advise.
