predominates in the city and its surrounding houses, as well as in the national flag of the country. In the following lines, we tell you everything you need to know about this city, such as what to see in Marrakech and some tips on the choice of hotel and flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Origins_of_the_city_of_Marrakech\"><\/span>The Origins of the city of Marrakech<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The origins of the city of Marrakech are obscure, but it is commonly accepted that it began as a military camp established by Abu Bekr, a great Almoravid chief, in 1070. His cousin and successor, Yusef Ben Tachfin, started converting the primitive oasis into a capital worthy of its empire, which stretched from the Atlantic to Algeria and from the Sahara to the Ebro. The Almohad conquest almost made the first constructions disappear, replaced by others, many of which we still admire today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Marrakechs_Famous_spots_attractions\"><\/span>Marrakech&#8217;s Famous spots &amp; attractions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Marrakech-Souk-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Marrakech Souk\" class=\"wp-image-1622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Marrakech-Souk-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Marrakech-Souk-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Marrakech-Souk-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Marrakech-Souk.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marrakech Souk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Marrakech, a bustling city in Morocco, boasts several famous spots and attractions. One of the most notable is Djemaa el Fna, also known as Jemaa el-Fna Square, in the city&#8217;s heart. This cultural hub has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is known for its vibrant atmosphere and performances by jugglers, storytellers, snake charmers, magicians, acrobats, and other street performers.<br>Marrakech is also home to some of the best markets, or souks, in the country. These bustling marketplaces offer various goods, including traditional Moroccan crafts, spices, and textiles, and are a favorite destination for tourists worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_visit_Marrakech\"><\/span>When to visit Marrakech<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ideal season to visit Marrakech is during the warmer months. So that the heat does not overwhelm us, the ideal is to do it from September to May. The main cultural festival of the city, which takes place at the beginning of June, can also be an excellent time to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_there_train_car_and_flights_to_Marrakech\"><\/span>How to get there: train, car, and flights to Marrakech<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By plane:<\/strong> The Marrakech International Airport is only 6 km from the city center. In addition to Iberia and Royal Air Maroc, the low-cost airlines Ryanair, EasyJet, and Vueling are also valid for trips to Marrakech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best way to get from the airport to the center is by taxi or private transfer<\/strong>. If you travel by taxi, the journey from the airport to the medina is around 80 MAD during the day and about 100 MAD at night. Remember that much of the medina is not passable by vehicle if your accommodation is inside. The taxi can not access it. You will have to leave at some point, and you will have what to do on foot for the rest of the route. The advantage of a private transfer is that they will accompany you to your hotel and you will not have to be haggled as with taxis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By car: <\/strong>in addition to flights to Marrakech, renting a car and getting to the city by road can also be an option, which gives you more freedom and allows you to know all the towns you find on the road. Of course, you can also get to Morocco in your car, crossing Gibraltar&#8217;s Strait. It can be an excellent option if you spend a lot of time in the country because going by your car will not be as expensive as renting one in Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By train: <\/strong>from Casablanca and other essential cities, the railway lines communicate with Marrakech, and the train leaves you almost in the center of the city (in the new part, not the medina).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_around_Marrakech\"><\/span>How to get around Marrakech<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a city to walk on foot since its main attractions are in the interior of the medina or ancient city, easily accessible by foot to get around Marrakech and largely forbidden to motor traffic. The problem when visiting Marrakech on foot lies in the labyrinth of its urbanism, so it is essential to get a detailed plan of the medina, which we can get in our hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new city, built in the 19th century under the French protectorate, is half an hour&#8217;s walk from the old city (medina). If you want to move around the new city, you have several options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Urban buses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will not find a map with bus stops in Marrakech, so it is best to ask your hotel to see them. The most outstanding are: Jemaa el Fna, the number 11 leading to the airport, and the number 19 company Alsa. The numbers 3, 8 and 10 take you to the train station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The petit taxi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br> They are small taxis that, for very little money, will take you to different points of the city. They are helpful if you travel to remote places or a new city. If you have more than three passengers or want to leave the city, take a Grand Taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Horse Cars <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br> The carriages are also economical and an excellent way to travel around Marrakech. To take a horse carriage, you can find them in the section that connects Jemaa el Fnaa with the Mosque of the Koutobia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_visit_in_Marrakech\"><\/span>What to visit in Marrakech<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marrakech is a city that enjoys strolling and immersing itself in its atmosphere. What to visit in Marrakech depends on when we see it. You can see &#8216;well&#8217; in two or three days, depending on your rate of visits. We advise you to visit it enjoying its corners if you do not have a lot of time it is not worth trying to see everything because in this way we would be losing the city&#8217;s essence. To serve as a reference, these are some important places in the trips to Marrakech:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Koutoubia_Mosque\"><\/span>The Koutoubia Mosque<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">The Koutoubia Mosque is an icon of the city, the most important and one of the largest in the Muslim West. The minaret of the Koutoubia can be seen almost from anywhere, becoming the city&#8217;s central axis. With nearly 70 meters high, it is the tallest building in all of Marrakech. It is forbidden to raise any other that surpasses it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was built before the construction of the sanctuary by Abd el Mou and was completed by his little son, Yacoub El Mansour (1184-1189). His name comes from &#8220;Kutubiyyun&#8221; a souk of books that existed around him. For this reason, it is also known as the Mosque of the booksellers. Non-Muslims are prohibited from entering the mosque of Koutobia, as is the case with all mosques except for a few exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Gardens_of_the_Menara\"><\/span>The Gardens of the Menara<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/The-Gardens-of-the-Menara-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Gardens of the Menara\" class=\"wp-image-1624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/The-Gardens-of-the-Menara-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/The-Gardens-of-the-Menara-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/The-Gardens-of-the-Menara-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/The-Gardens-of-the-Menara.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Gardens of the Menara<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">The Gardens of the Menara is one of the best-known and photographed gardens.

These gardens are usually visited by Marrakesh families who come here to spend time with the family and relax in the city&#8217;s bustle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These gardens are located at the southern end, about 45 minutes from the Jemaa el Fna square. They are formed by a large 3 km long and 1.5 km wide enclosure, mainly populated by fruit trees, olive trees, and a huge artificial pond. These gardens were built during the 12th century by the Almohads, who devised a system to bring the water from the Atlas thaw up to here by a series of underground canals to irrigate the olive groves and orchards. It was conditioned (enabled) in the nineteenth by Moulay Abd er Rahman (1922-1859).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Badi_palace\"><\/span>The Badi palace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/The-Badi-palace-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Badi palace - What to do &amp; to see in Marrakech\" class=\"wp-image-1623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/The-Badi-palace-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/The-Badi-palace-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/The-Badi-palace-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/The-Badi-palace.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Badi palace <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">The Badi palace is a few meters from the famous Jemaa el Fna square.
