Depart your riad to begin the day — take a short taxi or arranged transfer so you arrive punctually at Jardin Majorelle. Leaving at 8:30am helps you beat the larger mid-morning crowds.
A must-see botanical garden created by Jacques Majorelle and later restored by Yves Saint Laurent; visit for its striking cobalt-blue architecture, exotic plants and the Berber Museum. Typically open around 8:00–18:00 (last entry varies), so a 9:00am visit is ideal to avoid peak crowds.
Contemporary Moroccan cuisine with a sought-after rooftop view over the medina; highly rated (4.5+ on major review sites) and fits the requested price range of £-££. Arrive for your 11:00 booking and plan 1–1.5 hours for a relaxed lunch service.
Historic Islamic college famed for its ornate cedar wood, carved stucco and beautiful zellij tilework — a concentrated lesson in Moroccan architecture and craftsmanship. Generally open about 9:00–17:00, so a 12:30pm visit fits well after lunch.
Attend your confirmed 14:30 reservation for a hammam, spa treatment or wellness experience — Les Bains blends traditional Moroccan baths with modern spa services. Arrive a few minutes early to check in; typical sessions run 60–90 minutes.
Enjoy your 19:00 reservation at Naranj, a popular Lebanese-inspired restaurant in the medina noted for creative mezze and consistently excellent reviews — perfect for a leisurely evening meal.
Finish the night with a stroll through Jemaa el-Fna to experience storytellers, musicians and food stalls — the square becomes lively after dark and is great for atmosphere and photos.
