What to pack for Marrakech, season by season

Packing for Marrakech is easy once you know two things: the sun is strong, and the nights can be cool, especially in the countryside. Here is a simple list.

All year round

  • Sunglasses, a hat and sun cream
  • Comfortable walking shoes for the Medina
  • Light, loose clothes that cover shoulders and knees for visits in the city
  • A swimsuit for the pool
  • A light scarf: useful against the sun, the dust or a cool evening

Season by season

  • Spring and autumn: light clothes for the day, a jumper or a light jacket for the evening
  • Summer: the lightest, most breathable clothes you have
  • Winter: warm layers and a proper jacket for the evenings, as nights can be cold

Practical

  • Morocco uses European-style plugs (types C and E, 220 V).
  • The Moroccan dirham is mostly obtained in Morocco: cash machines are easy to find in Marrakech.
  • A passport or valid ID is required for all guests on arrival.

What you can leave at home

At Dar Amna you will find a modern, fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning and heating, Wi-Fi, and a baby cot on request, so you can travel lighter.
