It’s the sights which pepper Marrakech that give the city its unique quality, and a visit really isn’t complete without hitting at least a few of them. Culture Trip’s curated list of Marrakech tours and experiences takes you to the very heart of this fascinating city.

Most people come to Marrakech – known as the Red City because of its ochre walls – in search of its maze-like medina and bustling souks, full of trinkets and spices. If you want to experience a different side of this north African hub, however, there are plenty of unexpected experiences to be found here. Whether you fancy trying your hand at Moroccan cooking or exploring the city’s hidden sights, these recommendations have been hand-picked by Culture Trip to help you plan your perfect visit to Marrakech.
