Leave your riad promptly at 08:30 to reach Jardin Majorelle early, avoiding mid-morning crowds and heat. Confirm taxi timing with the riad the night before.
Explore the iconic Yves Saint Laurent botanical garden and the bright blue villa — an essential Marrakech stop for design, cactus collections and photography; go early to avoid queues. Check current opening hours (often around 08:00–17:30 but vary seasonally).
Take a short taxi ride from Jardin Majorelle back toward the medina; this places you to visit Madrasa Ben Youssef and nearby attractions just before lunch.
Visit the restored 14th–16th century Qur'anic school to admire its intricate carved stucco, cedar woodwork and central courtyard — a compact but richly decorated historic site. Check opening times (usually open in the morning through late afternoon).
Enjoy an early, well-reviewed mid-range lunch at Café des Épices in the heart of the medina; it’s a popular choice for fresh Moroccan and fusion dishes with rooftop views — booking recommended for 12:00 and expect 1–1.5 hours for the meal. Verify current opening times (commonly open from mid-morning).
After lunch, wander the nearby souks and the atmospheric alleys of the medina — perfect for quick shopping, photography and soaking up local life; keep valuables secure and allow time to navigate narrow streets.
Head to Les Bains Marrakech to arrive a little early for your 15:00 reservation; allow buffer time for traffic and to check in for your hamman/spa treatment.
Enjoy your pre-booked hammam and spa session at Les Bains Marrakech starting at 15:00 — a restorative Moroccan bathing ritual and massage to recharge. Confirm the exact service length and arrival/check-in policies with the spa (some treatments include changing time).
Spend the late afternoon exploring Jemaa el-Fna and the surrounding souks as the square begins to come alive — great for atmosphere, street performers and early evening stalls. Market hours and vendor presence change into the evening; be aware of pickpockets.
Dinner at Naranj (Lebanese/Moroccan fusion) at 19:00 — enjoy a well-rated, flavorful meal in a lively setting; you already have the reservation, so arrive on time and enjoy classic mezzes and grilled dishes. Check the restaurant’s policy for any late arrivals and confirm your booking if needed.
Return to your riad or take a short walk to enjoy a rooftop tea or a nightcap around the medina; if you’re up for it, a gentle stroll in the lit square is pleasant. Confirm opening times for any late venues you plan to visit.
