Once the capital of the <strong>Almoravid Empire<\/strong>, this city is a rich oasis on the edge of the Sahara Desert, where the streets are alive with the scents of exotic spices. This vibrant modern city still has a real sense of history and tradition.<\/p>\n<p>The heart of Marrakech is the <strong>Medina<\/strong>, a medieval walled city with maze-like passages and bustling souks. Venture into its streets and find new and exciting things at every turn. This is a shopper&#8217;s paradise, with the open-air souks selling everything you could imagine for a memento of your trip, from clothes and accessories to <strong>spices, ceramics and carpets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hammams are a major part of Moroccan culture<\/strong>, with locals visiting at least once a week. These public steam baths are ideal for a weary traveller who wants the chance to relax. Lie back and soak in the steamy water or treat yourself to a traditional scrub for an authentic taste of the local lifestyle. You&#8217;ll find Westernised luxury spa-style <strong>hammams<\/strong> as well as simpler traditional ones here, divided into separate sections for men and women. Traditional treatments can be invigorating!<\/p>\n<p>No visitor to Marrakech will leave hungry! From street food stalls to fine dining restaurants, there&#8217;s something to satisfy every budget. <strong>Tagines and couscous<\/strong> are some of the most famous treats on offer, while the truly adventurous traveller might dare to try snail soup or roast sheep&#8217;s head. Don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;re not up to such exotic dishes. The local cuisine also includes a wide range of <strong>sweet pastries<\/strong> to satisfy any traveller.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:var(--awb-color3);border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"best-time\" class=\"fusion-container-anchor\"><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-font-size:var(--awb-typography2-font-size);\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"font-family:var(--awb-typography2-font-family);font-weight:var(--awb-typography2-font-weight);font-style:var(--awb-typography2-font-style);margin:0;font-size:1em;letter-spacing:var(--awb-typography2-letter-spacing);text-transform:none;--fontSize:38.4;line-height:var(--awb-typography2-line-height);\">Best time to travel<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"--awb-font-size:var(--awb-typography4-font-size);--awb-line-height:var(--awb-typography4-line-height);--awb-letter-spacing:var(--awb-typography4-letter-spacing);--awb-text-transform:var(--awb-typography4-text-transform);--awb-text-font-family:var(--awb-typography4-font-family);--awb-text-font-weight:var(--awb-typography4-font-weight);--awb-text-font-style:var(--awb-typography4-font-style);\"><p>As a desert city, Marrakech has extremely different temperatures throughout the year.

By the time May rolls around, the April showers dry up, and the days start to get warmer but still enjoyable. In April, temperatures see an average high of 25\u00b0C (77\u00b0F), which rises to 28\u00b0C (82\u00b0F) in May.<\/p>\n<h4>Events &amp; parties<\/h4>\n<p>The spectacular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marrakechbiennale.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Marrakech Biennial<\/a> art festival takes place in the springtime every two years.

You&#8217;ll be able to find bargain prices for your accommodation, and you will find a much quieter city than usual.
