Marrakech Day Trips

If your day-to-day life has made you exhausted and you need some time with yourself in simplicity and beauty, book yourself a ticket to Marrakech because you are in for a treat. When I went to this place, it seemed as if the Aladdin story from Disney was right in front of me. 

Marrakech day trips are the best gift you can give to your family and show them the colorful city of Morocco. You can visit the bazaars filled with cultural ensembles and deserts that are worth seeing. The place is an all-rounder with enticing mountainous ranges that captivate you for life. 

So, if you have decided to give it a go, let us guide you through the process and tell you everything you should know before going on a trip to Marrakech.

How To Make Your Trip To Marrakech More Convenient

 So, if you are ready to indulge in the beauty and soul of this red city, then I am right here to give you a hand and make your trip to Marrakech much more convenient. I have been there, and the experience is utterly magical, but you can elevate it by doing a few things. 

  • Get A Rental Car 

Rental cars are readily available all over Marrakech and if you plan to make 2-day trips from Marrakech, then getting a rental car is the best option. With your rental car, it is easier to visit different places and stay there without any hassle. 

A rental car will also give your family privacy and a better chance to enjoy this land of desert. You can spend your days in bazaars and evenings seeing the sunset on desert soil. You can also stop your rental car anywhere you want to enjoy the scrumptious street snacks of Marrakech. 

You can even rent a car and visit places that surround Marrakech. Also, the car rental Marrakech is pretty affordable, so it certainly will not cost you an arm and a leg; give it a go because my experience was worth every penny that I spent on rental cars. 

  • Camel Ride 

If you are planning to go from Marrakech to Merzouga, your partner on the way must be a Marrakech camel ride, as the most effective vehicle in the desert is a camel. This desert safari will give you once in a lifetime experience. 

These safaris can take you to different places from Marrakech including, Dades Valley and Camel trek. These safaris usually are of 2-3 days on camels in which you visit other sites on the way. 

Camels are also very comfortable and convenient in the desert as you can sit on them and don’t have to worry about any clutch or break because they know their stuff. The safari and Marrakech camel ride experience for me was really captivating as the silence of the desert made the scene much more serene. 

So, if you want your 2-day trip to Marrakech more happening, get a Marrakech camel ride because if you won’t ride a camel in the city of deserts, what is the point of everything then? Also, camels are very affordable to rent in Marrakech so that you won’t be out of the budget with them. 

  • Come Prepared 

If you are coming to Marrakech, you need to come prepared because I made the mistake of only bringing clothes that will be comfortable in desert and warm areas. Still, when we went hiking, I was freezing, so get yourself some hiking gear. 

Also, Marrakech has some of the best and most beautiful mountains that you would never want to miss. So if you want to enjoy them to the fullest, come prepared because it is not only the city of the desert but also the city of mountains, bazaars, and cultural heritages. 

Marrakech Day Trips

When talking about Marrakech day trips, you can visit the following places from Marrakech. 

  • Kasbah ben 
  • Haddou 
  • Atlas Mountains 
  • Three Valleys 
  • Ait Souka village 
  • Moulay Brahim 

So, when you are in Marrakech, your 2-day trip can cover all of the above places and many more, and you can sleep the tiredness out in your comfortable suite back in Marrakech with a Kehwa and my all-time-favorite Baklava. 

Your Marrakech trip can exceed the limit of 2 days, and you can visit and stay for several days in which you can get to know the city better and visit all the places in the city, and they will leave you in awe most certainly. 

The Ebadi Palace in Marrakech will make you drool with its magnificence, and the Menara Garden is one of its kind. The intricate art in Saadian tombs will take you to the time of Kings and Queens, and the Jardin Majorelle Garden gives just the right tint of greenery and color to your Marrakech day trips. 

You can also visit the local bazaars (shops) like Souks of Marrakech and get to know the culture better because the beauty of Marrakech is entangled in its culture and heritage so, feel the culture and feel the beauty. 

What Is The Best Time To Visit Marrakech

The best time to visit Marrakech is from March To May and from September to November because during this time, the weather is not harsh, and you can get all the favors you desire. The days are not as hot, and nights make you as cool as a cucumber. 

Also, the rates of hotels, rental camels, and car rental Marrakech are pretty low during this time. It is never a good idea to visit a city like Marrakech at the peak of summer as the scorching sun won’t let you enjoy it to the fullest. 

When visiting Marrakech, make sure you are not visiting during local or religious festivals like Ramadan or Christmas. In this case, you might face a problem getting rental cars, camels, and the hotel rates high. 

Conclusion 

Now that you have all the helpful information you need for your Marrakech day trips, you can start packing your bags because I cannot wait for my next visit to this enchanted red city. Also, make sure to experience the culture and historical places of Marrakech as they are the identity of a city. 

Lastly, I wish you all the luck for an incredible trip to the city of deserts, have fun.
