Destination Guide Index
Marrakesh is a medina-and-garden city where riad stays, souks, rooftop meals, hammams, palace sites, cocktail courtyards, and Atlas or desert routes shape the trip. The best days hinge on timing: start in the city, then let the season, drive, and landscape decide how far the route stretches.
