10 Lugares que visitar en Marrakech

Esta puede ser la excusa perfecta para visitarla este año y disfrutar de todos sus contrastes.

Es el primer país africano que ostenta este título por su gran patrimonio artístico y arquitectónico.

Se trata de una iniciativa que reúne y promueve la experiencia, los conocimientos y las aptitudes en el continente y en la diáspora que conforman la África de hoy y conforman el mundo de mañana.

Es hoy en día una gran puerta para el Africa urbana, promoviendo la diversidad de las expresiones culturales del continente.

Marrakech además, ya ha sido nombrada por la UNESCO por dos veces PATRIMONIO UNIVERSAL, por su Medina en 1985, y por su plaza Jma El Fna como patrimonio inmaterial en el 2001.

Su medina, fue fundada en el siglo XI por los Amoravides (nómadas bereberes). Su enorme muralla se construyo por los Almoravides y los Almohades, sirvió como protección de la ciudad, y también crearon el original sistema de irrigación de los jardines y palacios.

En su plaza se concentran tradiciones culturales populares morroquíes a través de la religión, música y gran diversidad de expresiones artísticas. Es el lugar de encuentro de sus habitantes y sus turistas.

Situada en la Medina, y muy activa durante el día y la noche podemos encontrar desde un dentista, bailarines gnawis, predicadores, tatuadores, adivinos, encantadores de serpientes, hasta poetas y músicos bereberes. Por la noche incluso, se trasforma en un auténtico mercadillo de puestos de comida, donde se puede degustar  la riquísima y variada gastronomía marroquí

Desde el siglo XII hasta hoy en día, es visitada por su riqueza cultural,  y por estimular los cinco sentidos…  deambular sin rumbo por los callejones de la medina, darse un baño árabe, el olor el azahar de las herboristerías, escuchar las llamadas a la oración que surgen de los minaretes…

Si viajas a Marrakech por primera vez, prepárate para una experiencia inolvidable llena de cultura, historia y colores vibrantes. Aquí tienes una guía con todo lo esencial para que tu viaje sea perfecto.

Qué ver en Marrakech: lugares imprescindibles para tu primera visita

¿Vas a viajar a Marrakech y no sabes por dónde empezar?
Esta guía completa te ayudará a descubrir los lugares más importantes que ver en Marrakech y los rincones que no puedes perderte. En Viajes Desierto te mostramos lo mejor de la Ciudad Roja, con consejos locales para aprovechar tu visita al máximo.

Introducción a Marrakech

Marrakech, conocida como la Ciudad Roja por el color ocre de sus edificios, es uno de los destinos más visitados de Marruecos. Su medina, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad, es un laberinto de callejuelas, mercados y riads tradicionales donde el tiempo parece detenerse.

Te recomendamos pasar al menos dos o tres días en Marrakech antes de continuar tu viaje hacia el desierto de Merzouga o la costa de Essaouira.
Evita los meses más calurosos del verano (julio y agosto), cuando las temperaturas pueden superar los 40 °C.

Los mejores lugares que visitar en Marrakech

1. Plaza Jamaa el Fna

El corazón de la ciudad. La Plaza Jamaa el Fna es el punto más animado de Marrakech, tanto de día como de noche.
Durante el día, encontrarás vendedores, músicos y puestos de zumo de naranja. Al caer la noche, la plaza se llena de luces, aromas y puestos de comida tradicional.
Una de las mejores vistas se obtiene desde las terrazas del Café Glacier o el Café de France, donde puedes disfrutar de un té a la menta mientras observas el atardecer.

Evita participar en espectáculos con animales, como monos o serpientes, y apuesta por un turismo responsable.


2. Mezquita Koutoubia

Situada muy cerca de la plaza, la Mezquita Koutoubia es el símbolo más reconocible de Marrakech. Su minarete de 66 metros domina el horizonte de la ciudad.
Aunque el acceso al interior está reservado a los musulmanes, merece la pena contemplarla desde sus jardines o desde las terrazas cercanas.


3. Los zocos de la Medina

Adentrarse en los zocos de Marrakech es una experiencia imprescindible.
Podrás recorrer calles llenas de puestos donde se venden lámparas, alfombras, especias, pieles, babuchas o cerámica artesanal.
Uno de los más bonitos es el Souk des Teinturiers, con sus lanas teñidas de vivos colores que cuelgan al sol.

Regatea siempre con respeto y evita seguir a falsos guías. Lo mejor es perderse entre las callejuelas y disfrutar del ambiente.


4. Medersa Ben Youssef

The Medersa Ben Youssef es una antigua escuela coránica del siglo XIV y una de las joyas arquitectónicas de Marrakech.
Su patio interior, decorado con mosaicos, mármol y madera tallada, representa la belleza del arte islámico.
Es un lugar perfecto para descansar del bullicio del zoco y admirar los detalles artísticos.


5. Palacio Bahía

He Palacio Bahía, construido en el siglo XIX, fue diseñado para ser uno de los palacios más lujosos del mundo.
Sus patios, jardines y techos decorados muestran la elegancia del estilo árabe-andalusí.
Aunque parte del edificio está vacío, su arquitectura sigue siendo impresionante y merece una visita.


6. Tumbas Saadíes

Descubiertas en 1917, las Tumbas Saadíes son uno de los lugares históricos más importantes de la ciudad.
Aquí descansan miembros de la dinastía saadí en mausoleos decorados con mármol, madera de cedro y mosaicos.
El recinto es pequeño, pero cada detalle refleja la grandeza del arte marroquí.


7. Jardines Majorelle

Diseñados por el artista francés Jacques Majorelle y restaurados por Yves Saint Laurent, los Jardines Majorelle son un oasis de tranquilidad fuera de la medina.
Sus caminos rodeados de cactus, bambú y estanques azules lo convierten en uno de los lugares más fotografiados de Marrakech.
A pocos metros se encuentra el Museo Yves Saint Laurent, ideal para complementar la visita.


8. Alojarse en un riad tradicional

Dormir en un riad es una de las experiencias más auténticas de Marrakech.
Estos antiguos palacetes con patio interior ofrecen alojamiento en pleno corazón de la medina.
Los riads destacan por su tranquilidad, sus desayunos tradicionales y la hospitalidad marroquí.
In Viajes Desierto recomendamos elegir un riad céntrico y disfrutar del ambiente local.


9. Murallas y puertas de Marrakech

La medina está rodeada por más de 15 kilómetros de murallas construidas con arcilla roja.
Entre sus puertas destacan Bab Agnaou, Bab el Khemis y Bab Doukkala.
Caminar junto a la muralla al atardecer ofrece una de las vistas más bonitas de la ciudad.


10. Relajarse en un hammam

Después de recorrer la ciudad, nada mejor que un baño marroquí tradicional.
The hammams combinan baño de vapor, exfoliación y masaje, y forman parte de la cultura local.
Puedes elegir entre hammams auténticos o spas modernos como Les Bains de Marrakech o Les Sources Berbères, donde ofrecen tratamientos completos.

Su medina blanca y su ambiente relajado contrastan con el ritmo de Marrakech.
Perfecta para quienes buscan tranquilidad y gastronomía local.

Cascadas de Ouzoud

A unas tres horas de Marrakech, las Cascadas de Ouzoud son una maravilla natural rodeada de montañas.

We traveled as a family, taking the 5-day desert tour. Our guide, Said, was more than just a driver-guide; he took great care of us, was incredibly attentive to detail, and a fantastic driver. He listened to all our requests and showed us many unforgettable places. A true professional and an even better person. Thank you, Said! As for the agency, we are incredibly grateful to Mila for her hospitality and recommendations.

A group of friends and I took the 5-day desert tour, and this experience will stay with me forever... everything was wonderful. From my first contact with Mila when making the reservation, she was in touch with me, acting as the group's spokesperson, long before the trip even started, answering all my questions and more! The organization was absolutely perfect, the hotels were generally very good, and a special mention goes to the Nomad Desert Hotel, which was truly beautiful, as was the Berber tent camp. The breakfast and dinner, which were included in the price, were very good, and thanks to the excellent advice and attention of our guide, Mohamed, the lunch, which wasn't included, was also perfect. Mohamed deserves a special mention in my comments, as he made the trip so much fun and we felt like family. He's a very endearing person and incredibly knowledgeable about his region, so his explanations were fascinating. Thanks to him, we were able to better understand the way of life of the desert people. Everything we saw was breathtaking. Although the journey to the desert from Marrakech is quite long and includes stretches of winding mountain road (the road is very good and new, so don't worry), Mohamed made it seem much shorter. He's a fantastic driver. As he says, if you learn to drive on the dunes, everything else is easy. I encourage anyone wanting to visit the Moroccan desert to book with them. You'll return home, just like we did, wanting to do it again. Thank you so much, Mohamed, Mila, and Ismail, for making this possible. Mohamed!! Hugs, my friend!

We are a group of seven friends who just returned from this wonderful desert trip. We took a five-day tour. It was a unique and unforgettable experience with Mohammed, our guide, who was always friendly, always providing timely, concise, and clear explanations. He answered any questions we had and was always willing to help. He is also an excellent driver. The hotels we chose were very good. The desert tents were lovely and charming, with private bathrooms and showers. Our hotel in the desert was the Nomad Palace, and it was wonderful in terms of location, food, staff, entertainment, and accommodations. The meals were also excellent. It's clear this company has experience because everything is well-organized and planned. As constructive criticism, I would suggest providing a speaker or microphone for the guide/driver in the van because those sitting in the back row can't hear the guide's explanations due to being too far away. Mohammed, our guide, repeated his explanations without any problem... but it's an issue that needs improvement.

From Fez to the desertWe decided to take a trip with friends to explore Morocco. We took the advice of Ismael, our guide, who planned the trip according to our preferences. We started in Marrakech, where he gave us a guided tour of the city, and afterwards we had free time which we used to go to the souk and try different food stalls. The next day we headed towards the desert, stopping along the way to visit Ouarzazate, Dades, the Todra Gorge, and more. In the desert, we did several activities: quad biking, visiting markets, watching sunsets, visiting nomads—in short, we loved it. We plan to repeat the experience to continue exploring Morocco, and we'll definitely do it again with ViajesDesierto, an experience we highly recommend to everyone.

Great trip through southern MoroccoAn extraordinary trip to southern Morocco, visiting the desert and arriving in Marrakech. We were very well accompanied and looked after by Mohamed, an excellent guide—very friendly, kind, and attentive—who gave great explanations about his country. The organization by the agency was impeccable. Not a single problem throughout the entire trip. Highly recommended!

We took the desert tour for three days and I have nothing but positive things to say. Our guide was Ahmed, and from the very first moment he made sure we were comfortable and told us everything we needed to know about the places we were going to. Thanks to him, the trip was very enjoyable and fun. He's a really great guy. The desert was an incredible experience. We went on a camel trek and rode quad bikes to see the sunrise; it was one of the best experiences of our lives. If we go back, or if someone we know is interested in doing this tour, we will definitely recommend doing it with this agency and especially with Ahmed.

From the very first moment, he made sure we were comfortable and gave us all the necessary advice to make the most of every part of the trip. He's a lovely and very attentive person, always making sure we were happy. The desert was magical: we explored the dunes on camels and enjoyed an incredible sunrise on quad bikes. Both activities are highly recommended.

100% experience highly recommended!!A fantastic experience to share with friends, family, or even solo! All the activities were incredible: the many places we visited by car, the camel ride, the night in the desert, the sunrise while riding quad bikes… And above all, a special mention to our driver, Ahmed, who was such a great companion that for a few days it felt like he was traveling with us rather than guiding us. A wonderful person, always concerned about our comfort and safety, willing to share the experience with us as if he were one of the group, curious about our concerns, and eager to learn about us and our country, as well as show us his own. All this and much more made this a truly enriching experience for me and my friends. Highly recommended!

We will recommend it to friends who were considering it. I will pass on the contact information to them. Thank you so much, Viajesdesierto.

Incredible experience with @viajesdesierto.com 🌵✨ Everything was super well organized, the guides were friendly, and the scenery was like something out of a movie. AMy trip with ViajesDesierto.com was, honestly, one of the best experiences I've ever had. From the very first moment, the service was excellent: Mila and Ismael were attentive to every detail, answering all my questions and tailoring the itinerary exactly to what I was looking for. During the trip, everything was perfectly organized: the transfers, the riads, the desert camp—even the schedules were perfect! The drivers and guides spoke Spanish, were friendly, and shared so much about Berber culture and desert life, which made the experience much more authentic. The most magical moment was undoubtedly the night in the desert, under a sky full of stars, with music, a campfire, and an unforgettable silence. I felt it wasn't just a trip, but a human and cultural adventure.

Meeting Ahmed has been the best part of the trip!We met Ahmed in Chefchaouen, at his shop in the medina. A wonderful place filled with objects that transport you to countless places and stories. But the best part, without a doubt, was meeting Ahmed and sitting down to chat with him. What a fantastic person! I'm already looking forward to going back and taking a trip to the desert, since we didn't have the chance this time. With all the things he told us, we can't wait to return and share a trip with him.

The experience was fantastic from the start. They picked us up at the airport, the service was excellent, and our driver, Ahmed, was the best. He went at our pace, catered to our requests for food, and took us wherever we wanted, without any rush. The experience was very good. The only slight inconvenience was that we had to pay in cash, and we didn't travel with cash. We were able to resolve this with a Western Union transfer. Otherwise, the experience was excellent.
