The Red City of Marrakesh is packed full of souks, small winding streets, mosques, palaces and Moroccan food that will tickle your senses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With a history of over 1000 years, Marrakesh was not made the capital of the country until the turn of the 20th century; however, the city still displays the country’s history through its architecture which is second-to-none.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The gateway to the Sahara Desert, Marrakesh is central to many of Morocco’s main tourist spots, acting as a potential base or the beginning or end of your trip to Morocco with the option to do a plethora of day trips from Marrakesh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With culturally immersive locations such as Jemaa El-Fna that marks the city centre, Marrakesh epitomises the chaotic city hustle that Morocco is known for. With this in mind, guided Marrakesh tours or day trips from Marrakesh come recommended, so you get the best out of your trip without being overwhelmed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When to Go on a Marrakesh Tour<\/span><\/h2>\n

The best times to visit Marrakesh are the shoulder seasons which are known for their favourable weather. The best time to visit Morocco is in Spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November) when European travellers are not on holiday. During this time, you’ll find that the temperatures allow you to do more activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Morocco is in Africa, summers are scorching hot. It is advisable not to travel between July and August as temperatures can reach as high as 36 degrees celsius. Even if sunshine and beaches are all you are looking for, this may still be too hot!<\/span><\/p>\n

Things to Remember While Travelling in Morocco<\/span><\/h2>\n

Touts and Scams<\/b><\/h3>\n

Morocco is high on the bucket list of countries for many travellers across the world. The country also has a reputation for being unsafe, particularly for female solo travellers; however, it’s not. It just takes a little research before you go. With a few tips, you’ll be prepared for what is to come in Morocco.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With high levels of tourism, comes a price. There are many scams out there, whether it\u2019s the stereotypical ‘magic carpet ride’ or the seemingly friendly stranger offering to show you around, you will be asked for a tip for their services or to buy something that perhaps you cannot afford. Some may call this shady; others would call it tactical – it’s up to you to decide. A little ‘no, thank you’ goes a long way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clothing<\/b><\/h3>\n

It’s vitally important to remember that Morocco is a conservative country. While men may be able to wear what they want, sadly, women will be treated differently for doing the same. To avoid unwanted attention, it is advised that women cover their shoulders and knees and avoid any clothing that is particularly ‘revealing’.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cash or Card?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Morocco has its traditions at heart, with no high-risers to be found, developments seem to be kept at bay, creating the true Moroccan feel. With this in mind, you will be unable to pay by card, unless you are staying in 5-star accommodation throughout your trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All Marrakesh tours are paid for in cash unless you have arranged your tour with one of <\/span>our Local Designers<\/span><\/a>. However, to be prepared for your trip, you will have to be mindful to prepare your money before your trip to Morocco.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
