Marrakech & the Atlas
A flight takes half a day. Here is how to spend the rest.
Morning: fly
Sunrise or mid-morning flights catch the calmest air. You are back in Marrakech before lunch.
Afternoon: the souks
Get lost on purpose. Find the dyers’ souk, the spice square and the leather workers.
Evening: Jemaa el-Fnaa
Watch the square fill with musicians and food stalls from a rooftop café.
Zellige, cut by hand
Look down in any riad: the floors and fountains are zellige, glazed clay tiles chipped by hand into stars and crosses, then set piece by piece. The pattern on this page follows the same rule, an eight-pointed star repeated without end.
When to fly
Autumn
Clear skies, warm days, gentle thermals. Our favourite season.
Winter
Snow on the high peaks behind you and crisp, smooth air.
Spring
Green valleys and almond blossom below the wing.
Summer
Fly early: sunrise flights beat the heat.
The wing is ready. Are you?
