10 Amazing Things to Do in Marrakech
My taxi driver is singing softly while we’re trying to beat the Marrakech evening rush hour traffic. As we’re passing the different city walls into the Medina (old city), the city is getting more lively. I hear the call to prayer in the distance, but it can’t compete with the sound of all the cars and motorcycles.

There are people on the street everywhere. Crowded together for different reasons. To eat, to chat, to repair a motorcycle under the soft orange light of the street lanterns. Some dressed traditionally, others surprisingly modern.
Despite having been here before, I’m getting the same feeling as the first time I arrived in Marrakech five years ago. How amazing to be in a city that’s so completely different and yet still so close to home. The Medina with its narrow alleys that form one big labyrinth feels like a time capsule.
I’m spending three days in Marrakech with Jess. As always we want to get the most out of this trip, but have also accepted that we’re not going to do and see everything. And looking through my photos I think we did a pretty good job.
So if you’re also planning a visit, these are my favourite things to do in Marrakech (including some tips for where to eat). And I’ll end with some general travel tips.
