15 days in Marrakech Itinerary

You won't run out of things to do in Marrakech, a city where you can spend days exploring grandiose palaces and mosques, photogenic gardens, sacred tombs, and traditional mansions that evoke a bygone era.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Balloon Rides and Oukaimeden. Get out of town with these interesting Marrakech side-trips: Ourika Valley (in Ourika), Imlil (Mount Toubkal, Ouanoukrim, & more) and Sur Les Pentes du Toubkal (in Tahanaout). Saddle up on the 30th (Sun) and explore with a tour on horseback. Spend the 31st (Mon) soaking in style at Turkish baths. And it doesn't end there: steep yourself in history at El Badi Palace, admire the natural beauty at Le Jardin Secret, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at High Atlas Mountains, and appreciate the views at Berber Ecomuseum.
