Marrakesh is an imperial city in central Morocco, sitting at the foot of the Atlas Mountains in North Africa. Its walled medina, labyrinthine souks, and ornate palaces give it a rich sensory character and a deep historic heritage. Between the sizzle of Jemaa el-Fnaa at dusk and the hidden courtyards behind every door, there is always another corner to discover!
When to go
Spring and autumn bring warm, pleasant weather ideal for exploring, while summer is intensely hot. Winter days are mild but evenings can be cold.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
Marrakesh (RAK) usually takes connections from eastern Canada, typically through a Canadian gateway like Montreal or Toronto and then a European hub such as Paris, Madrid or Casablanca. The trip crosses the Atlantic, generally on an overnight leg, so you arrive the next day. Give yourself enough layover time to clear the change of planes comfortably.
What to see and do
- Experiencing Jemaa el-Fnaa square at dusk
- Getting lost in the souks of the medina
- Visiting the Bahia Palace and Saadian Tombs
- Relaxing in the Jardin Majorelle
Good to know before you go
The currency is the Moroccan dirham, and Arabic and French are widely spoken, which is handy for Québec travellers. Getting around is easiest on foot within the medina, since its narrow lanes are closed to cars, while inexpensive petit taxis (agree on the meter or a fare first) are great for reaching the Majorelle garden or the new town; a rental car is more hassle than help in the old centre. Haggling is expected in the souks, and dressing modestly is respectful.
