Activities & Excursions
From the world famous Souks to the ever-lively Jemaa el Fna square, and from the cultural heritage sites to world class museums, there is so much things to do and things to see in Marrakech.
Here at Hip Marrakech we also offer a variety of excursion and tours in and around Marrakech from day trips to the Atlas Mountains to day trips to the desert. Here are a few examples of the trips and excursions we offer:
Ouzoud waterfalls
For the more adventurous a three hour drive will take you to the mid Atlas and the majestic Ouzoud waterfalls, the highest in North Africa, with three spectacular tiers. This is also the home of the famous Barbary apes, the naturally tail-less monkeys that you find performing in the main square in Marrakech. It is delightful to see them roaming free in their native habitat.
Price: £92 for 1 to 4 people
Duration: A day trip of approximately 10 to 11 hours
Imlil, High Atlas
Also highly recommended is a trip to the high Atlas village of Imlil, gateway to the magnificent Jbel Toubkal crowning wonder of the Atlas range and the tallest mountain in North Africa.
Price: £62 for 1 to 4 people
Duration: A day trip of approximately 7 hours
A night in the Desert
The desert is not so close to Marrakech, more than a hundred and fifty miles, and of course the Atlas mountain range sits in the way so the route to the Sahara at Zagara is seven hours drive. That makes a one-night excursion to the dessert a packed itinerary. Leave Marrakech at 8.00 am, drive down via Ait Ben Haddou stopping at its famous Kasbah then Ourzazate and on to Zagora.
Price: £248 for 2 people
Duration: A one night and two days excursion.
Even if you are not booking your accommodation through Hip Marrakech, you can book your trip an excursion with us here.
You can also book trips and excursions via the free Hipmarrakech App. The Hipmarrakech App also gives 10% discount at selected restaurants and shops and provides a map of Marrakech which does not require data roaming so you can navigate the Medina without getting lost and always being able to find your Hipmarrakech Riad or Hipmarrakech Hotel.
