Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Marrakech, Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz Region

April 6, 2022 Milan Banda

The “Red City” of Marrakesh is a magical place, brimming with markets, gardens, palaces, and mosques. Exploring the intimate courtyards and snaking alleyways of the historic Medina can easily eat up a day. Find inner peace at the serene Jardin Majorelle or take in the beauty of one of the city’s historic mosques (taking note that, unless you are Muslim, you are not allowed to enter).

Marrakech Train Station

Reviewed By Sydneyjaq - Sydney, Australia

A very efficient and clean station with helpful staff, signage in English and Arabic, good public toilets and a coffee shop if you have to wait a while. Make sure you buy your tickets a day or two before you travel so you secure a seat, otherwise you might miss out as the trains get very full.

The Music Museum is located in the Saadian quarter built in the 16th and 17th centuries. The reception apartment of the museum is a jewel of Arab-Andalusian architecture in Marrakech. Several rooms of the house are dedicated to temporary and permanent exhibitions. The belvedere terrace offers an exceptional view of the Medina and the Atlas Mountains and a restaurant. The diversity of musical traditions in Morocco is exposed in several rooms: Amazigh music, Jewish tradition, daqqa marrakchia, Gnawa music, Arab-Andalusian music. A true musical and visual experience, the Music Museum presents instruments, photographs and videos. The tour provides visitors with keys to understanding Moroccan music.

The beautifully restored tiled walls alone make this gem of a museum worth a visit; add to that the performance of traditional music, the intriguing photos and instruments on display, the highly informative mini lecture provided by the patron, and finally hot mint tea under the stars on the roof, and the whole experience is delightful.

Boucharouite Museum

Reviewed By cyriellel2018 - Marrakech, Morocco

Found this beautiful place on trip advisor while travelling to Merzouga. We were looking for somewhere to go and have lunch before heading to the desert. Don’t regret finding la maison Bouchrafine. It was a simple but delicious lunch. And the place is so nice. Shame we didn’t have our swimming wear to enjoy the pool after lunch.
