Marrakech, everything you shouldn't miss

Just a 3h30 flight from London, Marrakech, also known as the Red City because of its ramparts and mud buildings, is the ideal destination for those in need of a breath of fresh air without being affected by jet lag fatigue. Not only is Morocco one of our favorite destinations, it's also a vibrant jewel of North Africa that's well worth a visit. For those who haven't yet had the chance to visit, we've put together a guide to some useful tips you need to know, to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

1) Choose the best season Marrakech is pleasant to visit at any time of year, so there are still some months more favorable to tourism than others. The best time to visit Marrakech is from March to May. Temperatures are consistently comfortable between 15 and 25 degrees. The hot summer months can easily tire you out, and you may not be able to carry out all the activities you had planned. September to November is also an ideal time to visit Marrakech, with temperatures between 18 and 26 degrees. However, it's important to note that November is the wettest month in Morocco and September is the most popular.

2) Make the most of the sunsets and sunrises Marrakech's sunrises and sunsets are known to be second to none, and we often hear travelers regret not being able to enjoy them. That's why we thought it was important to highlight them and provide you with valuable information on the city's best spots. There's nothing you'd like more than to start your day in a hot-air balloon over the Atlas Mountains as the sun rises and blends into the surrounding landscape. Take the opportunity to enjoy an experience you'll never forget. To enjoy the blazing orange and red sunset, you have several options, including Marrakech's main square, Jemaa el Fna, the palm groves and the desert.

3) Plan a day trip
The great thing about Marrakech is the variety of activities on offer. This impressive and charming city caters to the needs of every traveler. Its rich historical past and relics, together with the vibrant color palette of the Red City, make it a paradise on earth for history and photography enthusiasts. While there's always something to see and do in Marrakech, we recommend planning a day trip to the Agafay Desert or the Atlas Mountains. In the Agafay desert, you'll have the opportunity to take part in exciting experiences such as buggy and 4x4 vehicle rides, camel rides and even helicopter flights over the desert. If you're feeling more adventurous, why not take a mountain hike?

Durum wheat semolina, meat, vegetables and chickpeas are the main ingredients of this specialty dish of Berber origin, and today it's one of the most popular dishes in the world, found on many tables in France. At the end of your meal, enjoy typical sweet pastries and mint tea, a symbol of Moroccan hospitality. Tips for prolonging the joy and memories of your trip to Morocco: Bring Moroccan pastries.
