All Marrakech Tours

Sitting at the crossroads between Arabia, Europe, and Africa, Marrakech has been a welcome port of call for far-flung visitors for more than a thousand years. The maze-like medina and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Djemaa el-Fna are a testament to how much and how little has changed since the Moroccan city was founded in the 11th century. While Marrakech tours can provide a fascinating insight into the city—including architectural highlights like the Koutoubia Mosque and the Bahia Palace—many also follow in the footsteps of the old trade caravans out through the Atlas Mountains or onto the swirling sands of the Sahara Desert.

Q:What is the best month to visit Marrakech?
A:

The shoulder season months are generally the best times for a visit to Marrakech. This means March to May and September to November for the best weather (generally in the low 70s and up to the low 90s) and most affordable hotel rates. Summers have extreme heat and see a lot of tourists, and while winter can be a good opportunity for warmer temperatures (up to the mid-60s), it’s also a popular time for other travelers to visit.
