Marrakech Restaurants

At lunchtime, you have many choices in Marrakech. You can eat at local restaurants, frequented by locals, which we recommend, or you can eat at restaurants that are more “touristy”, where they make pizzas, pasta and other basics. For a Morrocan atmosphere go to eat among the bustle and  noise of the Jemaa el Fna, where there are several bars and cafes that offer  delicious cheap meals.

Local Restaurants
My advice is to go to one of the local restaurants at least once, because it is a good way to discover the essence of the Moroccan food and to  know what, and how, people eat in Marrakech.

New in Marrakech

Big things are happening in Marrakech. Or rather, small things, as aging Moorish mansions and palaces are being transformed into guesthouses, and chic hotels are springing up like oases in the desert

Although it's just steps from Marrakech's teeming souks, Riad Maji—one of the many new guesthouses deep within the ancient walled medina—is the epitome of tranquillity. Breakfast is served on the tented roof, an enchanting aerie with a view of the Atlas Mountains

Pacha Marrakech


Pacha established as the worlds first superclub, originally opening it’s doors in Barcelona in 1966, before moving to Ibiza in 73 where it gained international notoriety. As the house explosion took the world by storm, Pacha Ibiza was caught up in the middle – inspiring clubbers year after year from every corner of the globe.
By the late 90s things started to expand at a phenomenal rate, sister venues opened with Pacha London, Pacha Portugal, Barcelona, Munich and Hamburg to name but a few…
The new ideal setting for Pacha since 2005 is Marrakech – for more information, please visit their website below.

Cheap Hotels in Marrakech

The price of some Marrakech hotels can break nearly any budget, however Marrakech still has many clean hotels with a variety of amenities, and friendly service, still under £30 per night in the low season. As all budget hotels are often fully booked, especially during the summer, before Christmas and spring, our advice would be to make your reservations in good time before your trip.
This list of cheap Marrakech hotels offers visitors an alternative to some high prices that you may come across when looking for accommodation.

20 great things to do in Marrakech

1. Circle the Koutoubia Mosque

The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque, Marrakech’s most famous symbol – built in a traditional Almohad style and topped with four copper globes – is visible from near and far. It is not really that high (77 metres), but thanks to local topography and a local ordinance that forbids any other building in the Medina to be higher than a palm tree, it towers majestically over its surroundings. Still an active place of worship, non-Muslims may not enter. But it’s possible to get a good view of the exterior by walking around either side.
