About ULTIMATE Marrakech City Guide

ULTIMATE Marrakech City Guide is an independent guide for visitors to Marrakech, Morocco. We publish 14 curated lists: restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels, sights, arts & culture, gardens, walks, shopping, health, property, developments, cars & drivers and getting around. Today the guide holds 128 places, with 17 area and themed guides, 9 in-depth articles and 5 day plans, and we keep adding to it.

Our editor

Jai Michael is Editor-in-Chief of the ULTIMATE City Guides. With more than 25 years in the media industry, he founded ABSOLUTE brighton and London TV, and has worked with leading luxury brands around the world.

How we choose

Every place in our lists has been checked against its own website or an official source such as UNESCO, the Moroccan National Tourist Office, the Regional Tourism Council of Marrakech-Safi, the Fondation Nationale des Musées or GOV.UK travel advice. There is no MICHELIN restaurant selection for Morocco (checked November 2026), and we use no ratings or awards as scores; we leave out anything we can’t confirm.

Before you go

Opening hours, entry rules and timetables change often, above all during Ramadan. Please check directly with each place, and with official sources, before you travel. Prices are in Moroccan dirhams (MAD).

For venues

Run a venue in Marrakech and spotted something to update? We review our lists regularly and welcome corrections.
