Marrakech

Marrakech’s gardens give you a break from the medina’s narrow lanes. Menara is the most open setting here, Cyber Park fits a short central outing, and the landscaped Mohammed VI promenade adds distance through the hotel districts. Run early for cooler conditions and check garden opening hours before setting out.

Before you go

Keep the pace easy near other visitors and respect garden signs. Check the gate hours locally; shade does not make midday heat comfortable.
