Marrakech by La Fille Au Caftan

Marrakech feels like stepping into a vibrant storybook. The city is alive with colors, sounds, and scents that overwhelm the senses in the best way 💙

What I love most is the contrast: the lively markets full of energy and the serene courtyards offering peaceful retreats. The warm, earthy colors and intoxicating smells of spices and leather linger in your memory ⚜️

Marrakech isn’t just a place; it’s an experience. It’s a city that seeps into your soul, leaving you with vivid memories and a longing to return. It’s real, raw, and beautifully imperfect 🧿

Marrakech - An Oriental Fairy Tale (Map) 

Marrakesh is a magical city, brimming with vibrant colors and aromas. It embodies a fascinating blend of luxury and opulence, alongside a rough, chaotic charm, as the beautiful city grapples with pollution. Here, ancient crafts coexist with new techniques; you’ll meet people from all over the world who possess incredible stories, talents, and ambitions.

Many tourists view Marrakesh merely as a stopover or a weekend destination on their longer Moroccan journey. Moroccans often refer to it as just a tourist town. But a couple of years ago I spent 10 days, right in the central Medina, exploring all that the old historic town has to offer. After my short time there and after poring over the Lonely Planet guide, see below what I learnt. 

Regardless of your itinerary, here are seven things you won't want to miss on your next trip to Marrakesh.
