Marrakesh, Morocco

When you think of Marrakesh, you are probably conjuring up images of snake charmers, dancers, musicians and storytellers. As cultured and energetic as Marrakesh may be, it is one of the few places in the world to have embraced modern-day living without losing touch with its exotic, medieval heritage. It is a place that is quite magical; the sun, smells and sheer vibrancy of life can easily whisk you along on a Moroccan adventure.

The ancient walls of Marrakesh enclose a city that was once the capital of a huge empire, and its property is evident in the beautiful architecture that remains.

For a once in a lifetime experience, you can drift over the beautiful surrounding areas of Marrakesh in a hot air balloon while drinking a glass of champagne, toasting to new adventures. At night visit the Jad Mahal, a decadently decorated bar, restaurant and dance complex that’s one of the city’s hottest nightspots. Dine in style while tasting the tang of Moroccan cuisine.

Marrakesh is a feast for the senses in more ways than one.

 

Marrakesh experiences a semi-arid climate, offering a distinct contrast between its seasons. March to May brings warm, pleasant weather, with blooming gardens and vibrant colors filling the city. It’s an excellent time to explore Marrakesh's bustling souks, historic palaces, and lush Majorelle Garden. The comfortable temperatures make outdoor activities, like camel rides and desert excursions, particularly enjoyable.

June to August is hot, with intense heat during the day, making early morning or late evening the best times to explore. The Atlas Mountains offer cooler retreats nearby. September to November sees temperatures gradually cooling, making it another ideal time to experience Marrakesh’s rich culture and cuisine. December to February is mild, with cooler evenings, perfect for wandering the Medina or relaxing in a traditional hammam, offering a cozy experience with fewer crowds.
