Ready to venture beyond the city? Here are our top recommendations for incredible day trips from Marrakech.
» If you only have time for one day trip from Marrakech, make it the spectacular Ouzoud Waterfalls. Located in the Grand Atlas Mountains, these impressive cascades plunge over 350 feet into the valley below, making them the highest waterfalls in North Africa.
The journey takes you through Berber villages and olive groves before arriving at the falls. After gazing in awe at the thundering waters, you can hike along the canyon to admire the falls from below. Our experienced guides will show you the best vantage points and lead you to the ideal spot for a refreshing swim.
There will be plenty of time to relax by the water, snap photos of the rainbows in the mist, or even take a dip in the refreshing pools if you’re feeling brave! Along the way, we’ll make stops at local fruit stalls, a Berber carpet shop, and the historic Ain Asserdoun springs.
» Journey back in time with our day trip to the fortified mudbrick village of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site near Marrakech. This well-preserved ksar (fortified city) looks like something straight out of an Indiana Jones movie, with its winding alleys, looming towers, and imposing ramparts.
As you explore the narrow passageways, you’ll discover abandoned houses and ancient granaries that have stood for centuries, weathered by the desert sands. Our knowledgeable guides will share tales of the families who once lived here and cinematic trivia, as the ksar has served as the backdrop for many Hollywood blockbusters.
The views of the surrounding Atlas peaks from the upper levels are sublime – perfect for capturing that iconic sunset shot!
» For a taste of coastal living, join our day trip from Marrakech to the laidback beach town of Essaouira. This former Portuguese trading hub has a distinctly Mediterranean vibe, with whitewashed houses and cobalt blue shutters lining the old stone ramparts and harbor.
We’ll wander through the historic medina to browse colorful textiles and local thuya wood handicrafts as artisans work their magic in tiny workshops. The real highlight is fresh-off-the-boat seafood feasts at the portside fish grills, served with views of fishing boats bobbing on the Atlantic waves.
After lunch, there’s time to relax on the golden sand beach or try your hand at windsurfing and kitesurfing if you’re feeling adventurous!
» Get your adrenaline pumping on our Agafay Desert day trip from Marrakech! Just 40 minutes from the city, this rugged landscape couldn’t be more different than the buzzing souks. Here, ochre red dunes and rocky outcrops stretch as far as the eye can see.
After a short camel ride to acclimate to desert life, you’ll jump on a quad bike for an exhilarating ride across the sandy whooped and wild plains. Our expert guides will lead you to hidden corners of the desert for truly memorable photo ops.
Back at the nomad camp, you can try sandboarding, enjoy traditional Berber pizza, or simply bask in the tranquility as the sun sets over the Sahara-esque landscape.
» Our Imlil and Paradise Valley day trip takes you into Morocco’s stunning Atlas mountain valleys for a taste of traditional Berber life. We’ll quickly leave the hustle of Marrakech behind, winding through tiny villages and past roadside fruit stands.
Imlil makes an ideal starting point for mountain hikes at the base of Jebel Toubkal. Stretch your legs on a short walk to the village of Aremd to see the communal grain silos still used by locals.
We’ll continue to the jewel of the High Atlas – Paradise Valley. This valley utterly enchants with its jade green river flanked by gardens below snow-tipped mountains. Take time to relax streamside or dip in the natural pools.
On the return, we’ll wind over the Tizi n’Test pass with panoramas glimpsing nomadic sheep-herding tribes. Our final stop is at the 200-year-old mosque in Tahanaout before returning to Marrakech.
