What area of Marrakech is best to stay?

Many travel experts widely agree that Medina is the best area to stay in Marrakech for visitors — especially for first tourists because it’s a walkable area in the heart of the city with access to many main attractions.

Is there Airbnb in Morocco?

Yes! There are Airbnbs available in Morocco. Just make sure to abide by the local laws of the country and the hosts’ individual short-term rental agreements, which are usually stated in the description of each Airbnb. For example, it isn’t uncommon to need to provide a marriage certificate during check-in for Moroccan or mixed couples (if one of the spouses is of Moroccan nationality). It can also be forbidden to bring locals into the home (Moroccan law prohibits visits by Moroccan people and there are criminal penalties for both tourists and Moroccans who don’t follow this rule.

Are five days in Marrakech too many?

Five days in Marrakech isn’t too much. It’s the fourth-largest city in Morocco, and there are plenty of things to do in town for five days. Spend an afternoon wandering through the souks of Djemaa el Fna, exploring the stunning buildings of the Medina, or simply enjoying some traditional Moroccan tea at a local cafe. You can also visit the magnificent Koutoubia Mosque, explore the beautiful gardens of Majorelle or spend an evening at a traditional Moroccan restaurant. Additionally, those looking for a little adventure can take part in camel rides through the desert or hot-air balloon rides above Marrakech’s incredible landscape.
