Daniel and I just got back a few weeks ago, and I cannot wait to take you on a virtual journey through the enchanting streets of Marrakech, where every corner reveals a new adventure. So, let's dive in and discover the top things to do in this magical city!
Souks AKA Outdoor Markets
No visit to Marrakech is complete without immersing yourself in the bustling markets and souks that line the narrow streets of the Medina. As you wander through the labyrinthine alleys, you'll be greeted by a kaleidoscope of colors, the melodic sounds of vendors, and the alluring scent of spices. From the famous Jardin Majorelle to the vibrant Bab El Khemis Market, these markets offer a treasure trove of unique handicrafts, exquisite textiles, and traditional pottery, many being made right in the back of the shops. Don't forget to sharpen your bargaining skills, as haggling is an integral part of the shopping experience here! Come with me as we go exploring in Marrakech, Morocco.

Hammam Bath:
After a day of exploring the vibrant markets, treat yourself to a blissful escape at a traditional Moroccan hammam. These tranquil sanctuaries provide a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation. Indulge in a traditional hammam bath, where skilled masseurs will pamper you with aromatic oils and invigorating scrubs, leaving your skin glowing and your mind refreshed. The hammam experience is not just a spa treatment but a cultural ritual that cleanses both the body and the soul. Surrender yourself to the soothing ambiance and let all your worries melt away.
Jemma el-Fna Square and More:
As the sun begins to set, make your way to the heart of Marrakech, Jemma el-Fna Square. This bustling square comes alive with an array of street performers, storytellers, and musicians. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere as you sample delicious Moroccan street food and sip on traditional mint tea. From here, embark on a journey through time by exploring the city's historical locations, such as the breathtaking Bahia Palace, the majestic Koutoubia Mosque, and the ancient Saadian Tombs. Each site tells a story of Marrakech's rich past and architectural marvels, leaving you in awe of the city's cultural heritage.
