Marrakech

The Palmeraie is a palm grove outside central Marrakech. There are thousands of palm trees here that were planted during the Almoravid thanks to a system of khettara (underground water systems). The area was once home to farms but today is mostly villas and private residences.

Where is the Palmeraie?

Located north of Marrakech this area stretches 54 sq miles or 140 meters square in territory. It is near the Tensift River and close to the road that leads to the highway going towards Casablanca. It is approximately a 20 minute drive (depending on traffic) from central Marrakech.

What else is in this area?

As mentioned above the area is primarily villas and private residences. Many people visit to take a camel ride or go quad biking in the area. You might also want to visit the Museum for Water Civilization – an important topic in a country with limited resources. The Museum de la Palmeraie is another site to consider to walk the gardens, admire art and take a tea in the garden.

Why choose to stay in this area of Marrakech?

Here are a few reasons you may want to stay in this area of Marrakech;

1. You really are looking for a vacation to escape and get away.
2. You like the convenience of flying into an accessible airport but you would rather a more “country” vacation.
3. You want a more secluded holiday but with the option and access to a large city.

The area south of Jemma el Fna is a popular spot to consider due to the large number of choices of riads as well as the ease of access. You won’t find as many workshops here as other areas of the medina but there are plenty of shops; a mix of traditional goods as well as boutiques.

The central location puts you between the big square and the mellah area giving you access to transportation (taxis) and a good number of the historical sites of the city.

Which areas are considered south of Jemma el Fna?

The primary areas that the riads chosen are near the streets known as Riad Zitoun Jdid and Riad Zitoun Kdim. These streets run from Jemma el Fna south to the mellah district of the medina.

What else is in this neighborhood?

This area of the medina has a variety of shops and restaurants as well as a mix of riads and residential homes. The Dar Si Said Museum and Bahia Palace are in this general area. The newly open Moroccan Culinary Arts Museum is also in this area.

If you’re hungry the restaurants Naranj and Un denjuner a Marrakech are here offering Middle Eastern and Moroccan dishes. If you’re feeling like a change Pepe Nero is nearby and has an Italian menu.

Why choose this area of the medina?

This is a popular area of the medina for a few reasons – here are some to consider.

1. You will still be in the medina however this area is a little easier to navigate due to the two large roads (Riad Zitoun Kdim/Riad Zitoun Jdid) that run the length of this general area.
2. Plenty of restaurants – there’s no shortage of places to eat here, whether you want something small or a full multi course meal.
3. You’re in between Jemma el Fna and the Mellah/Kasbah area giving you easy access to the historical sites that make up this area.

Riads south of Jemma el Fna to consider

Zwin Zwin Boutique Hotel

The crisp white walls punctuated with monochromatic pops of blue color make this boutique hotel feel like a minimalists dream come true. If you want to detox this might be just the place with their spa offerings, yoga sessions and restaurant offers.

Riad Nesma

One of the larger riads this is a good choice for groups traveling together. Rooms on offer range from single rooms to quadruple and suites. The rooftop has both a swimming pool and hot tub and downstairs you can sit in the courtyard or in the living room area. The riad offers an affordable three-course Moroccan dinner as well.

Riad Africa

They have a variety of rooms (triples/quads/connecting rooms and suites) that will suite any and all family configurations. They also have a large pool so that kids can enjoy swimming without having to pack up and organize a day pass. They also have baby cots, highchairs and car seats available to use.

Riad Anabel

With 4 suites and 1 room there are a few different choices for guests considering this riad. The pool is a welcome feature especially in warmer months. The warm red exteriors of Marrakech are brought inside with red touches woven throughout the riad.

Riad Swaka

Just a 3 minute walk from the Bahia Palace and with 2, 3 and 4 person bedrooms available they can accommodate several different group types. It has both an upstairs on the terrace as well as a pool in the interior courtyard. The roof terrace also has a sitting area that has doors that close making it cozy in warmer and colder months.

Riad le Clos de Arts

This beautiful riad has served for decades as a meeting point for those people who love the arts – including the original owner. It has been lovingly restored in traditional Moroccan style with tasteful Italian touches. With 9 rooms, a mix of rooms and suites there’s something for anyone looking for a relaxing sojourn in Marrakech.

Riad 11 Zitoune

This house was once owned by the family of a spice trader and during the renovation the owners decided to pay homage to that past through the colors and naming of the rooms. They offer a hammam and massage area as well as organizing yoga practice.

Riad Monceau

A small boutique hotel the Riad Monceau features 10 rooms with modern amenities. Some of the suites also include jacuzzi’s. The hotel also features a restaurant and cooking school for those guests that want to experience Morocco’s culinary flavors.

Some of the riads have a plunge pool but all feature ensuite bathrooms and the amenities of a modern hotel. The Riad Feradus features a spa in the building that can be used by guests staying in any of the other riads. Do note Riad Lyndine is located in the kasbah district if you choose this option.

Decided this area isn’t for you? Check out our post that breaks down many of the neighborhoods to decide the best place to stay in Marrakech.

Known collectively as “the new city,” these two neighborhoods are some of the most popular parts of the new city. Technically anything outside the original city walls is part of the new city – and this includes lots of neighborhoods visitors never make it to.

But, for the sake of simplicity I’m covering these two neighborhoods here.

Gueliz was built by the French during the protectorate beginning in 1912. The first buildings were military as it was the military encampment but later homes, offices and social addresses were added. Much of this happened during the art deco period so you’ll find much of this influence remains. Mostly Europeans called these areas home until more recent times.

Where is Gueliz?

This is a very large neighborhood to the west of the old medina and stretches to Rue ibn Aicha to the north and Avenue Moulay Hassan to the south though you likely will find people refer to Gueliz covering a lot more territory than just these boundaries.

Where is Hivernage?

The boundaries of Hivernage stretch the old walls of the medina from Avenue Moulay El Hassan to Avenue Moulay Rachid – it’s directly south of Gueliz with the western border being Avenue de la Menara.

What is there to do in Gueliz?

In Gueliz you’ll find a wide variety of restaurants and boutique shopping as well as businesses and residential apartment buildings. There are a lot of things to do and places to eat in Gueliz so you won’t get bored if you visit.

Some parts of this area feel like any city in the world; you’ll find shops like H&M and Zara as well as several grocery stores if you need to pick up supplies.

The famous Jardin Majorelle and Yves St. Laurent Museum are in Gueliz as well as quite a few other art galleries worth a visit. The train station of Marrakech is also located at the junction of the Gueliz and Hivernage neighborhoods.

If you get hungry stop by the Amal Women’s Center for lunch or +61 for dinner.

What is there to do in Hivernage?

Home to lots of cafes, restaurants and nightclubs there is plenty to do in Hivernage – especially if you’re a night owl. The Marrakech Casino is here if you want to try your luck at a game or two.

Visit the Menara Mall for several different restaurant options and the top floor is a gaming and arcade area that kids of all ages love – for parents there’s great views onto the medina.

The Menara Gardens and Harti Gardens are two free options for things to do and a good idea if you have kids that need some open space to burn off steam.

Looking for more things to see and do in this area? Check out my guide on the new city of Marrakech.

You also may want to pick up a copy of my dining guide to Marrakech which has quite a few suggestions for restaurants in these areas of the city.

Why stay in Gueliz or Hivernage?

If you’re not feeling the medina than here are three reasons to consider staying in Gueliz or Hivernage;

1. You’d rather a hotel with modern conveniences and less hassle finding your way in the medina.
2. You’ve got a train to catch – it’s easier to reach the train station if you’re staying in a hotel in one of these neighborhoods.
3. You want to party and are looking for easy access to nightlife.

Hotels in Gueliz and Hivernage to Consider

Movenpick Mansour Eddhabi

There’s a lot to love about the Movenpick, without exception their artwork on display is a big one.

Hivernage Secret Suites and Garden

Large rooms in a boutique hotel set away in Hivernage. The property features a large pool with lounging and dining options and a garden environment. Rooms can sleep up to three guests and have sitting areas as well as the sleeping area.

Bab Taghazout is the gate at the north end of the medina of Marrakech. Recently this area has had a large investment by the government to clean up the area, replace doors and do general repair work on the streets and buildings.

Where is Bab Taghazout?

The Bab Taghazout gate is at the northern end of the medina just north of the Riad Laarous neighborhood. Of all the medina areas this is arguably the most residential. It is near the Zaouia Sidi bel Abbas – a well known mosque and shrine in the city.

What else is in the neighborhood?

As mentioned this is a very residential area. The Sidi ben Slimane and Sidi bel Abbas mosques and shrine areas are in this neighborhood. Non-Muslims can not enter them but the areas surrounding are quite interesting. You’ll also find small produce markets and on the evening several shops selling a variety of street food.

Hungry?

Dar Yacout and Dar Zellij are two well known restaurants in this area. Head a little south of the neighborhood to dine at Limoni (their lemon ravioli is fantastic!)

Why choose this area of the medina?

There are a few reasons you might want to choose this area of the medina for your stay.

1. There are quite a few affordable options for high quality riads and boutique hotels.
2. You’re away from heavily touristed areas and attractions meaning quieter streets and fewer shops.
