Marrakech travel guide
Marrakech is sensory overload by design. The medina is a labyrinth; getting lost is the experience. Riads (traditional courtyard houses) are essential to the trip — pick yours carefully. Bargaining is expected at souks.
When to visit
Best months: Mar, Apr, May, Oct, Nov
Spring and fall. April and October are ideal.
Avoid: June-August are extremely hot. December-January can be surprisingly cold at night.
