24 GUIDE TO MARRAKECH
Your 24 hour guide to Magical Marrakech starts here... Team Onjenu have taken the privilege to try and test some of the very best sites as well as flavours of Marrakech and we want to share these with you.Start the morning in the Medina, and hire a local guide (simply ask your Hotel or Riad for a good local guide) We recommend hiring a guide to cover a lot of the Medina and Souks, as you will get to see as much as you can without entirely getting lost. Wallow in the Souks shopping glory, and feel free to haggle, as it is custom in Marrakech ! We recommend buying some pottery, and spices! During your guide, you will learn a lot of the history and artifacts of the Medina, which makes the experience that more special.Near to the Souks visit the famous, Medersa (madrassa - Islamic school of learning) of Ben Youssef, this is one of the biggest theological colleges in Morocco. The abundance of stunning architecture and decoration makes it a great place to explore. Time for a cooling drink, take a taxi out of the Medina and visit the famous Cafe Del La Poste for lunch, and sink into the 1920's in the French colonial inspired decor! Once refreshed use the afternoon to bask in a botanical-bliss and visit the famous YSL gardens, Jardin Majorelle, it's a great place to simply relax and gather your thoughts among the enchanting garden, there is also an interesting Berber museum!
Head back to the Medina, and simmer the evening down under the glorious starry night at Nomads, a popular restaurant within the Medina, with a lush modern take on traditional Moroccan cuisine! If you have a sweet tooth we recommend the lavish Gâteau de dattes & safran, sauce au caramel!
Of course there is plenty more to do within Marrakech, but in all essence it is a magical place to visit, out of which you feel entirely inspired by, so we definitely give it a great Onjenu seal of approval!
