Marrakech Travel Guide

Why Stay in the Medina?

Staying within the medina immerses you in the pulse of Marrakech: winding alleyways, hidden fountains, nighttime lanterns, and the scent of spices in the air. Being this close to Jemaa el-Fna means you can slip in and out at your leisure, avoiding long commutes.

Must-See Sights

  • Jemaa el-Fna Square – The heart of Marrakech with street performers, food stalls, storytellers.

  • Bahia Palace – Ornate rooms, beautiful gardens.

  • Saadian Tombs – Rediscovered royal mausoleums.

  • Koutoubia Mosque & Gardens – Landmark mosque near central sectors.

  • Le Jardin Secret – A serene garden in the medina, very close to the riad. riadlebelorangermarrakesh.ma-hotels.net+2riad-le-bel-oranger.best-hotels-marrakesh.com+2

  • Ben Youssef Madrasa – Intricate architecture and tilework.

  • Maison de la Photographie – Exhibits of Moroccan photography and culture.

Food & Nightlife

Riad Le Bel Oranger

In the medina, you’ll find fantastic street food—tagine, couscous, pastries—and rooftop cafés overlooking bustling squares. At night, the souks close but the squares glow with lantern light, and many riads or rooftop spaces host live music or calm lounges.

Hidden Gems

  • Walk alleys early or late for quieter atmosphere.

  • Climb to rooftop terraces for sunset views over the medina skyline.

  • Seek artisan workshops (metalwork, carving, ceramics) tucked off main souk routes.

  • Join a cooking class or a small-group guided tour to discover less-traveled pathways.
