The medina of Marrakech is a place that must be explored without hurrying and without a fixed itinerary.

As soon as you cross the gates of the Secret Garden, you will find plants, different types of cacti, turtles, peace and harmony, and a lovely coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Secret Garden used to be an old riad that hosted many important politicians in Morocco.

One of the restaurants that I enjoyed the most during my last stay in Marrakech was Atay Caf\u00e9 Food, which aside from the delicious food (please, try their tajine), there is also an amazing view of the city. I recommend going around sunset to savor a yummy meal and the exquisite view.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3582\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3582\" class=\"wp-image-3583\" src=\"https:\/\/vuelveaviajar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/48967991221_fdc3ce04e5_c-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"what to do in Marrakech in 3 days\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vuelveaviajar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/48967991221_fdc3ce04e5_c-1-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vuelveaviajar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/48967991221_fdc3ce04e5_c-1-1-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vuelveaviajar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/48967991221_fdc3ce04e5_c-1-1-768x532.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vuelveaviajar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/48967991221_fdc3ce04e5_c-1-1-585x405.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dinner with a view in the Atay Caf\u00e9 in Marrakech.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During another sunset, just a few meters away from Atay Caf\u00e9, you can go eat at Kui-Zin Restaurant, which also has an impressive view and great food. I recommend it, too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Day 2<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On your second day in Marrakech, get up early and then reward yourself for the effort with a hammam, or Turkish bath, and a good massage. After that, continue to discover more about the city and finish the day in Djemaa el Fna, one of the craziest and most lively squares in the world!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Discover another oasis in Marrakech: The Majorelle Gardens<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another place you must see in Marrakech is the Majorelle Gardens: a colourful garden where blue and yellow stand out \u2013 as well as the green of the many types of plants that grow there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With so much colour, it is not surprising that the garden was the work of a painter; Jacques Majorelle built it and filled it with plants he\u2019d brought back from his frequent travels all over the world. After the painter&#8217;s death, the garden was forgotten until it was acquired by Yves Saint Laurent, who lived there until his death in 1980. His ashes still rest there today. In addition to the garden, you can visit the Yves Saint Laurent museum. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3563\" style=\"width: 805px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3563\" class=\"wp-image-3564 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vuelveaviajar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/majorelle.png\" alt=\"3 days in Marrakech: Majorelle Gardens\" width=\"795\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vuelveaviajar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/majorelle.png 795w, https:\/\/vuelveaviajar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/majorelle-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/vuelveaviajar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/majorelle-768x577.png 768w, https:\/\/vuelveaviajar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/majorelle-585x439.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3563\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Majorelle Gardens.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The garden, which wasn&#8217;t that popular until recently, has become one of the most crowded places to visit in Marrakech because of Instagram. To avoid queues and enjoy it in relative peace, I recommend getting up early and arriving as soon as possible (it opens at 8:00 am).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Entrance fee to the Majorelle Gardens:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 70 DH.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Entrance fee to the Majorelle Gardens and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 180 DH.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Treat yourself with a hammam and a perfect massage<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">must<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to do in Marrakech is to pamper yourself in one of its many hammams.

It&#8217;s time to treat yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Marvel at Ben Youssef&#8217;s Madrasa<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, I could not visit the madrasa this time because it was under renovation, but it should be open by now and you shouldn&#8217;t miss this old Islamic school, which is an architectural jewel and a must-see in Marrakech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Explore El Badi Palace<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although nowadays it is completely in ruins, the name of this palace means, &#8220;the incomparable,&#8221; and in the 16<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> century, it was one of the most important palaces in the Muslim world.

Once the tattoo is done, she will force you to pay a lot of money for it. So, if you want to get a henna tattoo in Marrakech and you don&#8217;t want to have to deal with this situation, I recommend that you do it in a place you trust. This last time, I got my henna tattoo in a caf\u00e9 called Henna Art Caf\u00e9. The place was founded by an American artist who fell in love with Marrakech after her first trip and decided to stay. First, you choose the design of your tattoo. There are many different designs and they start at 50 DH (5 EUR). Then the tattoo is done by ladies who are true professionals of henna.

Riads are traditional hotels with a central courtyard and a fountain. They are true architectural gems. Below you will find some of the best riads to stay in Marrakech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/ma\/riad-amsaffah.en.html?aid=1518699&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Riad Rodamon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I stayed in this riad and I really loved it. A beautiful, modern and very comfortable riad, it has a terrace with a restaurant where concerts and other social events take place. The staff are super friendly and always willing to help. The riad also has a swimming pool in the courtyard, perfect for cooling off during the hottest days of summer. Next time I go to Marrakech, I plan to stay there again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/ma\/equity-point-marrakech.en.html?aid=1518699&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Equity Point\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another nice looking riad with a swimming pool in the heart of the medina is Equity Point. If your budget is on the lower side, you can stay in their dorms for a very good price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/ma\/earth-hostel.en.html?aid=1518699&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Earth Hostel<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earth Hostel is another beautiful, high-quality riad on a budget. You can sleep there for 9 EUR, which includes breakfast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/ma\/la-sultana-marrakech.en.html?aid=1518699&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">La Sultana Marrakech<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If budget is not a problem, this luxury riad is a dream come true.
