City Guide: Marrakesh

by senyuie

If Marrakesh has been sitting on your travel list, let this be your sign to book the trip. It’s one of those cities that feels alive at every turn—warm terracotta streets, beautiful riads, vibrant souks, the scent of spices in the air, and sunsets you’ll want to remember forever.

Here’s a little guide from us to help you experience the city.

Five Things You Shouldn’t Miss

Get wonderfully lost in the Medina.
The best discoveries happen when you stop following the map. Wander through the narrow streets, meet local artisans, and soak in the energy of the city.

Visit Jardin Majorelle.
Take a slow morning stroll through one of Marrakesh’s most beautiful gardens. It’s peaceful, colourful, and worth every photo.

Watch the sunset from a rooftop.
Find a rooftop café, order a glass of fresh mint tea, and watch the city glow as the call to prayer echoes across Marrakesh.

Stay in a traditional riad.
Trust us—it’s part of the experience. The quiet courtyards, beautiful architecture, and thoughtful details make it feel like a hidden oasis.

Book yourself a hammam.
After a day of exploring, there’s nothing better than experiencing Morocco’s traditional spa ritual.

Where We’d Go Shopping

If you’re looking for beautiful keepsakes, start in the Medina Souks for handcrafted leather bags, woven baskets, ceramics, lanterns, rugs, and jewellery.

For artisan pieces with fixed prices, stop by Ensemble Artisanal.

If you’re in the mood for modern boutiques, spend an afternoon exploring Gueliz, where you’ll find contemporary Moroccan fashion, home dĂ©cor, and independent designers.

Before You Leave…

Before you leave, save space in your suitcase—you’ll almost certainly return with more than you planned. You’ll probably come home with a bottle of authentic argan oil, handmade ceramics, woven baskets, leather babouches, Moroccan tea glasses or ceramics, colorful textiles, and maybe even a rug you somehow convince yourself will fit.

Kuvaa Tip: Marrakesh is best explored slowly, wake up early, dress lightly, wander without an itinerary once in a while, pause for mint tea, and let the city surprise you.

We’ll be cheering you on—and if you’re packing Kuvaa, you’re already off to a beautiful start. 🤍
