You can’t miss out on Marrakech when travelling around Morocco. This ancient walled city is home to mosques, palaces and lush gardens.
It’s known as The Red City thanks to the colour of the brick walls surrounding the city. Plus, the medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Centre.
Want incredible bright colours of desert sand or monochrome mosaics? You’ll love these 7 Marrakech Instagram spots just as much as we do…

3. Marrakech Souks
Jemaa el-Fna is the main market square in Marrakech, filled with snake charmers, spices and trinkets.

6. Bab Agnaou Medina Gate
Bab Aganou is perhaps the most unique of Marrakech’s nineteen gates. It was originally used as a royal entrance, which is why it looks so intricate.
Built in the 12th century, just gaze up in wonder and get snap-happy.
7. Zagora Desert
The Zagora desert region of the Sahara is seven hours away from Marrakech but worth the journey.
You can ride camels in the sunset and sleep in traditional camps underneath the stars. The most iconic Marrakech Instagram photo there is? 100%.
