Free things to do in Marrakech
Squares, lanes, souks and ramparts: what is genuinely free in Marrakech, and what needs a ticket.
Marrakech works beautifully without tickets: Jemaa el-Fna morning and evening, the medina lanes, wandering the souks, the Kasbah, the Mellah, the ramparts and gates, the Koutoubia from outside. But let's be honest: Majorelle, Bahia, El Badi, Ben Youssef, the Saadian Tombs, Dar El Bacha and Le Jardin Secret all require a ticket, and a rooftop tea means ordering something.
Practical tips
- The half hour before sunset is free and unforgettable.
- Looking and strolling in the souks costs nothing.
What to avoid
- Assuming an offered photo or henna is free.
