Medina, gardens, Ourika, Agafay: a three-day programme with a car for the day trips.
Marrakech is best explored on foot first. The car is for the day trips: here is a three-day programme that alternates between city and nature.
To book your car for this trip, see our luxury car rental in Marrakech and car rental in Guéliz, Marrakech pages.
Day 1: the medina on foot
No car today: leave it in your riad's car park. Visit Jemaa el-Fna, the souks, the Ben Youssef madrasa, the Bahia palace and the Saadian tombs. Have dinner on the terraces overlooking the square.
Day 2: Gueliz, Majorelle, then the Atlas
Morning at the Majorelle garden and in Gueliz. In the afternoon, head for the Ourika Valley: 1 h 15 of driving to the Setti Fatma waterfalls.
Day 3: the Agafay desert at sunset
Leave in the late afternoon for the Agafay desert, a camel ride and dinner under the stars. Drive back at night or spend the night in a tent.
When to pick up the car?
Renting for 3 days is mainly worthwhile if you do two excursions. If you are staying in the medina, have the car delivered on day 2 and return it on day 3.
Alternatives
- A day in Essaouira if you prefer the sea.
- A day at the Ouzoud waterfalls for nature.
