A great time to visit Marrakech is during the shoulder season from March to May or September to November, when you’ll find comfortable temperatures and less crowds. However, the heat of summer can be oppressive and even stifling for some visitors.
During this time, you’ll have more room to roam and the prices of accommodation and attractions will be at their lowest. To avoid the crowds, arrive at places like Le Jardin Majorelle – also known as the Yves Saint Laurent Garden – early. It’s what you imagine a secret garden to be like and offers the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s also worth stopping at Menara Gardens, a peaceful green space where you can amble within picturesque landscapes or visit the shops and local tours that are found here. Then there’s the Museum of Magical Cities, where you’ll see storks nesting on walls and discover a fascinating collection of ancient treasures. It’s a must-see for anyone visiting Marrakech.
