Hunts in Marrakech

Marrakech Food Walk

~75 min · 6 stops

Eat your way around the medina, from the world-famous square to a rooftop mint tea. Taste fresh orange juice and sizzling street stalls, slow-roasted lamb from underground pits, honeyed pastries and clay-pot stews, and finish above the rooftops with a glass of the sweet national drink. Come hungry.

First stops

Jemaa el-Fnaa — Start on Jemaa el-Fnaa, where rows of orange-juice carts squeeze fresh juice for a few dirhams and, come nightfall, dozens of numbered food stalls fire up their grills. It is the greatest open-air dinner table in Morocco — snails, harira soup, skewers and sizzling everything.
Patisserie des Princes — Step just off the square to Patisserie des Princes, a beloved old-school bakery. Its glass counters glitter with Moroccan sweets: almond-stuffed 'gazelle horns', honey-soaked chebakia, coconut ghriba and trays of tiny pastries dusted in sugar and cinnamon.
Chez Chegrouni — Head to Chez Chegrouni, a plain, much-loved terrace on the edge of the square that has served honest Moroccan home cooking for decades. Its staple is the slow-cooked stew of meat, vegetables and dried fruit served bubbling in a conical earthenware pot.

Hidden Marrakech

~75 min · 6 stops

Slip away from the crowds into the quiet, secret medina the guidebooks skip. Step through the doors of a pasha's palace, lose yourself in a garden hidden for years behind a plain wall, pass a carved street fountain and the dyers' lanes, and end on a rooftop with a hidden view over the rooftops of the Red City.

First stops

Dar El Bacha — Begin at Dar El Bacha, the 'House of the Pasha', built around 1910 for Thami El Glaoui, the powerful and notorious lord of Marrakech. Behind its plain walls lie courtyards of orange trees, marble fountains and some of the finest zellij tilework in the city, now a serene museum.
Le Jardin Secret — Find the plain door of Le Jardin Secret, a great riad garden that lay ruined and hidden for years before reopening in 2016. It holds two gardens — a wilder exotic one and a formal courtyard laid out to the ancient Islamic 'paradise garden' plan, quartered by narrow channels — plus a tower you can climb.
Fontaine Mouassine — Pause at the Mouassine Fountain, tucked beside its mosque since the 16th century. Its carved cedar canopy shelters three stone basins set into the wall — a grand piece of public charity, refreshing the whole neighbourhood in the days before taps ran in every home.

Iconic Marrakech

~90 min · 7 stops

Trace the beating heart of the Red City, from its towering minaret to the labyrinth of the souks. Cross the legendary square of storytellers and snake charmers, haggle past spice cones and dripping skeins of dyed wool, and end at a jewel-box Quranic college. This is Marrakech at its most unforgettable.

First stops

Koutoubia Mosque — Begin at the Koutoubia, the grandest mosque in Marrakech, whose 77-metre sandstone minaret has guided travellers since the 12th century. Its perfect proportions became the model for towers in Seville and Rabat, and by law no building in the old city may rise higher than it.
Jemaa el-Fnaa — Step into Jemaa el-Fnaa, the vast square that is the soul of Marrakech and a UNESCO 'Masterpiece of Oral Heritage'. By day it hums with orange-juice carts and water sellers; at dusk it erupts into a carnival of storytellers, musicians, acrobats and food stalls.
Souk Semmarine — Plunge north into Souk Semmarine, the broad covered artery of the medina's markets. Slatted roofs throw stripes of light onto stalls of leather, lanterns, textiles and slippers, and its side-alleys branch off into a maze that has confounded visitors for centuries.

Palaces & Kasbah

~80 min · 6 stops

Walk the royal south of the medina, where sultans built their palaces and tombs. Marvel at the painted ceilings of a grand vizier's mansion, cross the old Jewish quarter, stand in the ruins of an 'incomparable' palace where storks now nest, discover tombs sealed for centuries, and end at an ornate gate to the kasbah.

First stops

Bahia Palace — Begin at the Bahia Palace, built in the late 19th century for Ba Ahmed, the all-powerful grand vizier. Its name means 'the brilliant', and its endless courtyards, orange-tree gardens and ceilings of painted, carved cedar were meant to be the finest palace of their age.
Mellah — Pass into the Mellah, the walled quarter laid out in 1558 that once housed a community numbering many thousands. For centuries its people ran the medina's trade in spices, sugar and jewellery, and its narrow streets and balconied houses still feel distinct from the rest of the medina.
Place des Ferblantiers — Cross the Place des Ferblantiers, the square of the tin- and metalworkers. In the workshops around its edge, craftsmen still hammer and pierce sheet metal into the pierced lanterns whose shadows you'll see cast across half the riads of Marrakech.
