Marrakech, the vibrant “Red City” of Morocco, offers an unforgettable blend of history, culture, and adventure. Summer 2025 is the perfect time to explore this enchanting destination, where bustling souks, stunning landscapes, and unique activities await. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or cultural immersion, here’s our guide to the best things to do in Marrakech during the summer.
1. Explore the Medina and Its Historical Gems
Dive into the heart of Marrakech by wandering through the Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Lose yourself in the maze-like alleys filled with colorful souks, aromatic spices, and traditional artisans. Don’t miss:
- Jemaa el-Fna Square: A lively hub of food stalls, snake charmers, and street performers.
- Koutoubia Mosque: Admire the largest mosque in Marrakech, an iconic example of Moroccan architecture.
- Bahia Palace: A breathtaking 19th-century palace with intricate tilework and serene gardens.
2. Cool Off in Majorelle Garden

Escape the summer heat by visiting the Majorelle Garden, a tranquil oasis of exotic plants, fountains, and vibrant blue buildings. Created by French painter Jacques Majorelle and later owned by Yves Saint Laurent, this garden is a must-visit for nature lovers and photographers alike. Pair your visit with a relaxing Camel Ride in the Palmeraie of Marrakech for the ultimate summer experience.
3. Day Trips to the Atlas Mountains
For a refreshing escape from the city, head to the Atlas Mountains, just a short drive from Marrakech. Summer is the perfect time to explore the cooler mountain air and lush valleys. Some popular excursions include:
- Ourika Valley: A scenic valley with waterfalls and traditional Berber villages.
- Imlil and Asni: Ideal for hiking and exploring the foothills of Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak.
- Oukaimeden: A high-altitude retreat where you can enjoy stunning views and peaceful surroundings.
4. Experience the Agafay Desert at Sunset
Swap the sand dunes of the Sahara for the rocky beauty of the Agafay Desert, located just an hour from Marrakech. A sunset camel ride or quad biking adventure in this serene desert is a magical way to end your day. Consider staying overnight in a luxury Agafay Desert Camp to enjoy stargazing under the clear summer sky.
5. Rejuvenate with a Traditional Hammam Spa
Summer in Marrakech can be warm, making it the perfect excuse to indulge in a relaxing hammam experience. Discover traditional Moroccan wellness with a steam bath, exfoliating scrub, and rejuvenating massage. Many spas, like those offered in our Camel Ride & Spa Treatment Packages, combine luxury with authentic traditions.
6. Savor Moroccan Cuisine and Rooftop Dining
Experience the rich flavors of Moroccan cuisine at local restaurants or rooftop terraces overlooking the city. Try classic dishes like:
- Tagines: Slow-cooked stews bursting with spices.
- Pastilla: A flaky pastry filled with spiced meat or seafood.
- Mint Tea: A refreshing staple of Moroccan hospitality.
For a unique experience, book a dinner and Fantasia show, where you’ll enjoy traditional food paired with music and performances.
7. Take a Hot Air Balloon Adventure
See Marrakech from a new perspective with a hot air balloon ride over the city and its surroundings. As the sun rises, you’ll witness breathtaking views of the countryside, the Atlas Mountains, and the desert landscapes.
8. Discover Essaouira on a Day Trip
For a coastal escape, take a day trip to Essaouira, a charming seaside town known for its relaxed atmosphere, historic medina, and fresh seafood. Wander along the ramparts, shop for handmade crafts, and enjoy the cool Atlantic breeze.
