A quick guide to Marrakech, Morocco

Planning a trip to Marrakesh? Known as the "Red City" for the hue of its historic buildings and walls, Marrakesh is a hub of culture and tradition, where modernity and ancient customs blend. The medina is a winding maze of streets filled with the hustle and bustle of motorcycles, donkeys and vendors. For this reason, I ALWAYS recommend travelers to book at least a couple of guided excursions, at least so that they can get their bearings. I've had so many friends (who are avid travelers themselves) take the same approach with seeing Morocco as they do with Lisbon; arrive and see what happens. And then they come back saying that Morocco was just not their cup of mint tea. Don't do that. Morocco is a wonderful place to explore if you do a little preparation in advance and get some guidance. This FREE 3 day city guide will help you narrow down all the wonderful things there are to do and see and make sure you're not missing out on memorable experiences during your time in Marrakesh. This guide includes 👉 Detailed outlines of what you should do each of the 3 days 👉 6 tour suggestions 👉 3 hammam recommendations 👉 4 hotel recommendations that I have personally inspected and sent clients to before 👉 6 restaurant recommendations 👉 Links to blog articles that advice on what clothing to bring, leisure activities and safety questions 👉 Links to my TikToks highlighting my visit to a place

Marrakesh is not thought of as a "history" city as much as it is a gold mine of aesthetically pleasing sites. However, history can be found at every corner around the old city - called the Medina. If you're looking for a great guide to the historic sites of Marrakesh's old city! A few notes about this guide - the sites at the top start at the southern end of the Medina and work their way north. Additionally, there is a good mix of preserved sites and restored site - the Moroccan government and other private institutions have restored some sites to their full glory. While it may seem less "historically accurate", these preserved sites are just as worthwhile to visit. NOTE: I cannot verify sites will not be closed due to the earthquake. I have added some links to donate to charities assisting relief efforts in Morocco below.

Casablanca gets a really bad rap. The vibrant, messy, energetic, and hectic economic hub of Morocco, most visitors begin their trip in the city. In their zeal to get Moroccan tajines, tiles, and mint tea, they flock to places in the Medina and get an underwhelming and negative view of the city. Casablanca is not Marrakesh, Fez, or even Tangier. It has a treasure trove of activities, especially if you've been to some of the historic cities and are looking for a change of scenery. So if you're looking for a great experience taking in the sights of modern Morocco, here I present my perfect day in Casablanca. FEATURED ON THATCH'S MAILING LIST

Food is an important part of any destination, and Marrakesh is no exception. Some of the most stunning scenes I saw during my visit involved seeing local vendors selling slews A-tier quality ingredients in the streets: vegetables, fruits, meats, you name it, they sold it. Dining in Morocco is a love hate relationship for me. The best Moroccan food is eaten at home. Chances are you won't get an invite for couscous with a Moroccan grandmother. To get "Moroccan cuisine" you end up going to touristic restaurants. Some are good, some are mediocre. If you ask a Moroccan for a restaurant tip, you'll get directed to an Italian restaurant or somewhere serving "exotic" foreign food that you could probably get at home. That said, Marrakesh's restaurants - even the touristic ones - offer an immense array of culinary experiences. Between "sha'abi" low level cuisine, fine dining for tourists, and non-Moroccan restaurants you are sure to find a great array of food. This guide aims to give some restaurant recommendations: first with super authentic food, second with some more modern or fine dining Moroccan options, and finally with some non-Moroccan options within the city. NOTE: I cannot verify sites will not be closed due to the earthquake. I have added some links to donate to charities assisting relief efforts in Morocco below.

I love Tangier. In a country where "relaxing" and "cities" don't usually mix, the Mediterranean air, sandy beaches, and craggy cliffs gives Tangier a certain laissez-faire vibe that Marrakesh, Fez, or Casablanca could only dream of. I like to say it's as though Morocco, France, and Spain had a baby featuring each country's best parts. It doesn't matter if you're in the old parts of the Kasbah or Medina, the Corniche, or in the west by Cap Spartel. It's magnificent. In this article, I (hope to) show off the best sites of Tangier by location along with some good points about logistics and hotel recommendations. Need anything more?
