Beach near Marrakesh, Morocco

Marrakesh Travel Guide

Morocco

Marrakesh is a Moroccan city with a population of about 1.05 million. It is inland, set in the warmer, generally dry part of the country rather than on the coast.

Most visitors arrive by air at Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so Marrakesh is better suited to an inland city break than a beach holiday.
