Long days spent exploring the bustling souks, devouring delicious tagines at rooftop restaurants or wandering through the sensory experience that is Marrakech’s medina – not to mention the possibility of good weather and lounging in a tranquil riad – all combine to make it an ever-popular spot to visit come spring. But packing for a trip to Marrakech requires careful consideration. Not only can the climate spell hot days and contrastingly cooler evenings, but it’s important to be respectful of the Muslim culture and dress modestly when outside your hotel or riad. Choose high necks and ankle lengths in light linen layers for daytime, and be sure to pack a lightweight shawl or scarf to cover up with. Most importantly? Leave your suitcase half empty for baskets and Boucherouite rugs galore.
