Marrakech is a feast for all the senses: spices, colors, music and the bustle of Jemaa el-Fnaa square. Behind the walls of the old town lie quiet courtyards and gardens full of calm.
Culture & Way of Life
In Morocco, hospitality is a matter of honor – you’ll almost always be offered mint tea. Family and traditions are important, and a lot happens with respect and patience.

Hidden gems off the beaten path
- Le Jardin Secret: Behind an unassuming door lies a garden full of watercourses and fragrance – an oasis in the heart of the medina.
- Ben Youssef Madrasa: A former Koranic school with stucco, cedarwood and tiles so delicate you hardly dare to breathe.
- Medina rooftop terraces: Above the alleys lies a second city: terraces with cushions, mint tea and views of the Atlas Mountains.
Absolute must-do
A hammam for two followed by dinner overlooking Jemaa el-Fnaa: first warmth and calm, then lights, drums and the scent of spices. Marrakech with all your senses.
Only here in the world: Jemaa el-Fnaa is part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity: for centuries, storytellers, musicians and entertainers have gathered here – a living theatre like nowhere else on earth.
Tip for Your First Date
Sip a mint tea on a rooftop terrace at sunset and watch the square below you come to life.
