8 days in Marrakech Itinerary

You won't run out of things to do in Marrakech, a city where you can spend days exploring grandiose palaces and mosques, photogenic gardens, sacred tombs, and traditional mansions that evoke a bygone era.

Get some historical perspective at Koutoubia Mosque and Medersa Ben Youssef. Change things up with a short trip to Le Paradis du Safran in Ourika (about 48 minutes away). Plan for a day of cool, family-friendly fun on the 6th (Sat) at Eden Aquapark. There's lots more to do: admire the natural beauty at Jardin Majorelle, stroll the grounds of Saadian Tombs, see the interesting displays at Marrakech Museum, and steep yourself in history at El Badi Palace.

To see maps, reviews, other places to visit, and more tourist information, use the Marrakech sightseeing site.

If you are flying in from Croatia, the closest major aiport is Menara Airport. In March, plan for daily highs up to 26°C, and evening lows to 11°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 7th (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
