Oh, Marrakech! If I'd known we'd be such a perfect match, I would have traveled to you 10 years ago. Marrakech is definitely in my top 5 city break destinations, less than a five-hour flight away. The vibrant colors of the city, the merchandise in the souk, and the beautiful riads where you can stay. I fell in love with this magical city instantly.

Feel free to plan five days in the city so you can also spend a night at a tented camp in the desert. What I love about Marrakech is that you can explore the bustle of the Medina, but also truly unwind at one of the resorts just outside the city.

My intention is to return to Marrakech every year from now on and Morocco For a dose of inspiration you can rely on all year round. In this Marrakech Travel Guide, you'll find a list of my favorite hotspots that I think you'll want to know about too.
