Citytrip Marrakech: from the Souks to Majorelle Blue

Day 1: Brussels – Marrakech

Fly from Brussels to Marrakech, where your private driver welcomes you and takes you to your hotel. Drop off your bags, freshen up and settle into your new surroundings. You’ll have plenty of time to get to know the city over the next few days.

Tonight, enjoy dinner at a traditional Moroccan restaurant. Discover local dishes and fragrant spices while making plans for tomorrow. But first: another bite.

Day 2: Marrakech with a private guide

After breakfast, head into the city with your private guide. Admire the outside of the Koutoubia Mosque, then explore the Bahia Palace. Take your time here: the decorations, courtyards and little details deserve a closer look. You might even spot a few things you’d love at home. Though fitting a palace floor into your suitcase could be tricky.

For lunch, find a spot on a rooftop terrace above the souks. City life carries on below while you settle in and enjoy the view.

Then explore the medina with your guide. Discover the work of local craftspeople among colourful fabrics, pottery and small workshops. Take your time to look around and ask questions. And if that little bowl keeps catching your eye, there’s surely still some room in your suitcase.

You’ll also visit the Ben Youssef Madrasa and the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter. Your guide’s stories bring the buildings and little streets to life along the way.

Day 3: Marrakech – Majorelle and Yves Saint Laurent

Take things a little slower today. Start with a relaxed breakfast at your hotel, then enjoy a morning to yourself. Another coffee, a few chapters of your book or a return to that shop where you spotted something lovely yesterday? Just follow your mood.

In the afternoon, visit the Majorelle Garden. Wander among exotic plants and shady paths, with the buildings’ striking blue as your backdrop. Somewhere you’ll want to linger a little longer and take just one more photo.

Then discover the fashion designer’s life and work at the nearby Yves Saint Laurent Museum. From the colours of the garden to the designs in the museum: a lovely pairing for your last afternoon.

In the evening, find a cosy restaurant for your final dinner. Try something new or order that delicious dish from your first night again? Luckily, there’s no wrong choice.

Day 4: Marrakech – Brussels

After breakfast, it’s time to close your suitcase. Depending on your flight time, you might fit in one last walk or settle somewhere for mint tea. A private transfer then takes you to the airport for your flight back to Brussels. You’ll head home with lovely memories and perhaps a carefully wrapped bowl tucked between your clothes.
