Marrakech: a colourful imperial city at the foot of the Atlas MountainsMarrakech is one of Morocco's four historic imperial cities and immediately immerses you in a world of culture, history and atmosphere. Wander through the old medina, a maze of narrow streets, authentic shops and fragrant souks. At the heart of this historic district lies the world-famous Djemaa el Fna square, which constantly changes character throughout the day. In the surrounding souks, you can spend hours browsing countless stalls filled with spices, handcrafted ceramics, leather goods and colourful lanterns. Looking for something a little more modern? Outside the city walls lies the Gueliz district. This modern part of Marrakech offers a striking contrast to the centuries-old medina, with elegant boutiques, trendy coffee shops and luxurious restaurants. |

Historic MarrakechMarrakech was founded by the Almoravids in the 11th century and was one of the region's most important political and cultural centres for many years. Its rich history can still be seen today in the city's magnificent palaces, lush gardens and traditional architecture. The city's best-known landmark is the Koutoubia Mosque, whose impressive minaret can be seen from almost anywhere in Marrakech. The Bahia Palace is also highly recommended. Its richly decorated rooms and beautifully tiled courtyards offer a wonderful insight into traditional Moroccan architecture. It is therefore no surprise that the historic medina has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. Climate in MarrakechMarrakech has a warm and relatively dry climate. Be aware that summers can become extremely hot. Spring and autumn are therefore among the most popular seasons for a city break, offering pleasantly warm temperatures for exploring the city. Marrakech is also a popular destination during winter. The days are often sunny and pleasant, but temperatures can drop considerably during the evening and at night. Things to do in MarrakechThere is plenty to discover in Marrakech. Start your journey through the medina and immerse yourself in the scents of fresh spices and the vibrant colours of the textile souks. An evening at Djemaa el Fna is also an unforgettable experience. As the sun sets, the square fills with musicians, storytellers and dozens of atmospheric food stalls where you can enjoy delicious local dishes. For culture lovers, the Saadian Tombs and lush gardens, such as the famous Jardin Majorelle, offer a welcome oasis of tranquillity away from the energy of the city. Have more time? Marrakech is an excellent base from which to explore the spectacular surrounding area. From the city, you can easily book beautiful excursions to the valleys of the impressive Atlas Mountains. |
Practical informationHealthMarrakech has good medical facilities and modern private clinics. Outside the city, including in the Atlas Mountains, medical facilities are more limited. We therefore recommend taking out adequate travel insurance and checking the latest official travel advice before departure. Passport and visa
A valid passport is required to travel to Morocco. Please note that your passport must remain valid for at least 6 months upon arrival in Morocco. Time zoneThe time difference between the Netherlands and Morocco changes several times during the year. Both countries have their own arrangements regarding daylight saving time, standard time and Ramadan. We therefore recommend checking the current local time shortly before departure, for example on your smartphone. Flight durationThe total flight duration of a direct flight between Amsterdam and Marrakech is approximately 3 hours and 50 minutes. CurrencyThe local currency in Morocco is the Moroccan dirham (MAD). Withdrawing cash in Marrakech is easy, with plenty of ATMs available throughout the city. Larger restaurants, hotels and shops also often accept international payment cards. However, if you are shopping in the souks or eating at local food stalls on Djemaa el Fna, it is advisable to carry sufficient cash. Electricity + travel adapterMorocco's electricity supply operates at 220 volts. Type C and E sockets are mainly used:
Most Dutch and Belgian plugs will therefore fit without any problems. You normally do not need a separate travel adapter for a trip to Marrakech. |
