Things to Do in Marrakech

Evenings, mornings and half-days that make a trip — from the Chez Ali Fantasia show to cooking classes, hot air balloons and the old medina, all led by locals.

Between your day trips, Marrakech itself is full of things to do — and most of them take just a morning or an evening. These are the in-city experiences we run and recommend, chosen to work around a normal sightseeing schedule rather than eat a whole day.

Mix and match: a cooking class in the afternoon, the Chez Ali Fantasia after dark, a sunrise balloon before the heat. Every experience can be booked privately, and several also come as cheaper shared options — each page spells out exactly what's included.

Experience questions

What are the best things to do in Marrakech?
Favourites include the Chez Ali Fantasia dinner show, a guided medina and souks tour, a Moroccan cooking class, a sunrise hot air balloon, quad biking, a camel ride and a traditional hammam. Most take just a morning or an evening.
What is the Chez Ali Fantasia show?
Chez Ali is a large open-air dinner show in the Palmeraie: a Moroccan feast alongside a Fantasia — horse riders firing muskets, acrobats, music and a finale. It's a popular, family-friendly night out. We offer it as a private evening with transfer, or a cheaper group ticket.
Do experiences include hotel pick-up?
It depends on the option. Private experiences — including private Chez Ali and the balloon — include hotel pick-up and drop-off. Shared or group tickets don't include transfers, but we can add one for you.
Can I combine an experience with a day trip?
Yes — many visitors pair an in-city experience like a cooking class or the Chez Ali show with a day trip on another day. Message us your dates and we'll help you balance them.
