Day-by-Day Marrakech Itinerary 3 Days

Day 1: Arrival in Marrakech → Riad Check-in → Guided Medina Tour → Rooftop Relaxation

Your Marrakech itinerary 3 days begins the moment you land. You’ll be met at the airport by our driver and transferred to your riad, a traditional Moroccan guesthouse tucked away in the old medina. After settling in, a licensed local guide will meet you for a half-day walking tour. You’ll explore the majestic Koutoubia Mosque from the outside, the intricate details of Bahia Palace, the royal Saadian Tombs, and the colorful maze of the souks. After the tour, unwind on a terrace with a glass of mint tea, enjoying views of Jemaa el-Fna’s ever-changing rhythm. Overnight at your riad.

Day 2: Full-Day Excursion to Ouzoud Waterfalls

After breakfast, your driver will take you on a scenic drive (about 2.5 hours each way) to the Ouzoud Waterfalls, one of Morocco’s most famous natural landmarks. Set in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, the falls plunge over 100 meters into a gorge lined with olive trees and local eateries. You can hike down to the base for a close view, take a short boat ride near the spray, or enjoy lunch at a shaded restaurant with a waterfall view. Keep an eye out for wild Barbary macaques playing in the trees. Return to Marrakech in the evening for a restful night at your riad.

Day 3: Optional Agafay Desert Adventure → Free Time → Departure

On your last day, you can choose to relax or add an adventure. Want a memorable send-off? Opt for a sunrise hot air balloon ride followed by a Berber breakfast. Or head to the nearby Agafay Desert (about 45 minutes away) for camel rides, quad biking, and a scenic lunch or dinner show. Prefer to take it slow? Explore the medina at your own pace or enjoy a Moroccan hammam and spa. Your airport transfer will be scheduled according to your departure time.

Real Traveler Reviews – 3 Days in Marrakech with MST

James
We booked the Marrakech itinerary 3 days tour through Morocco Sahara Tourism, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we landed, everything was taken care of. Our guide, Mohamed, was knowledgeable, kind, and made us feel safe at all times. The medina walking tour was fascinating, and the visit to the Ouzoud Waterfalls was a peaceful break from the city bustle. Our riad was charming, with a rooftop view over Jemaa el-Fna. We loved how the itinerary gave us structure but also enough free time to explore. This 3-day Marrakech itinerary is perfect for first-timers in Morocco. We can’t recommend MST enough!
Carlos and Laura
Our 3 days in Marrakech were unforgettable thanks to Morocco Sahara Tourism and especially to Omar, who helped us plan and tailor the itinerary to our preferences. He was always available to answer our emails quickly, and he made sure every detail was personalized. The local guide in the medina was fantastic, and we appreciated how smooth everything went, from airport pickup to our last transfer. We added a camel ride in the Agafay Desert on the last day, and it was such a special experience. Thank you Omar for making our Marrakech 3 day itinerary so easy and memorable!

If you're considering a 3-day Marrakech itinerary, book it with MST. I traveled solo and was nervous at first, but from the moment I met my driver Mohamed, I felt completely at ease. He was so polite and helpful. The guided tour of the city was informative and engaging, and I learned a lot about Moroccan history and architecture. The Ouzoud day trip was the highlight for me, stunning waterfalls, great hiking, and even monkeys! MST really knows how to plan a well-balanced itinerary that combines city culture and nature. Highly recommended for solo travelers too.
Marc
This Marrakech itinerary 3 days was everything we hoped for. We’re very grateful to Omar, who was so responsive and kind. He helped us adjust the trip to include a hot air balloon ride on our last morning, which was an absolute dream. The riad in the medina was lovely and peaceful, and our guide Hamid gave us incredible insight into Moroccan culture. The Ouzoud Waterfalls were beautiful and not too touristy. Omar made sure we had everything we needed, even while we were on the road. MST truly delivered an authentic and smooth Moroccan experience.
Daniel
We did the Marrakech itinerary 3 days with Omar company and had such a great time. Our driver was super punctual and gave us great tips along the way. The guided tour of Marrakech gave us a good orientation of the city’s history and main sights. Our favorite day was the excursion to the Ouzoud Waterfalls, it was peaceful and refreshing. The third day we decided to relax and just enjoy a hammam near our riad before our evening flight. MST made everything so seamless. If you’re short on time, this 3-day Marrakech itinerary is the way to go!
Mariana
This was my first time in Morocco, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction than this 3 days Marrakech itinerary. Everything was well-coordinated and stress-free, from the airport pickup to the comfortable riad and friendly local guide. I really enjoyed the rooftop tea break after our medina tour, it gave me time to take in the atmosphere and people-watch. The drive to Ouzoud was scenic, and I loved the waterfall walk and lunch by the river. The optional quad biking in Agafay on the last day was thrilling! MST knows how to create a well-rounded experience. Thank you!
