The ultimate itinerary for a long weekend in Marrakech

Marrakech is the perfect destination for a weekend getaway, boasting a vibrant cultural scene, iconic Moroccan cuisine, and stunning Islamic architecture. With so much to see and do, a long weekend in Marrakech must include a shopping spree in the finest souks of the medina, visiting a traditional hammam, and strolls through the Bahia Palace, the Menara Gardens, or the Secret Garden. If you want to explore beyond the city limits, take a day trip to the Agafay desert for epic quad biking through the dunes, luxury camps, or memorable views from a hot-air balloon.
