Ringing in the New Year in Marrakech and Beyond
As the year draws to a close, what better way to welcome the New Year than with an unforgettable adventure in the enchanting city of Marrakech and its surrounding wonders?
Day 1 — Arriving in Marrakech
After a scenic flight from Milan, check in at the charming Riad Lamdina in the historic Riad Laarouss district. Enjoy lunch at Nomad in the heart of the Medina, then explore Jemaa el Fnaa square, the bustling Souks, the Koutoubia Mosque and Mederssa Ben Youssef. Ring in the New Year at a local party — we went to Villa Marco with a special performance by Phil Weeks.
Day 2 — More Marrakech Magic
Start the New Year with lunch at L'Mida Rooftop, then explore the vibrant colors of Le Jardin Majorelle and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent.
Days 3–4 — Desert Adventure
Transfer to Scarabeo Camp for a picturesque lunch, an exhilarating buggy ride and a memorable dinner under the stars. The following morning starts with a yoga lesson before heading back to the Medina.
Day 5 — Ouzoud Waterfalls
Discover the natural beauty of Ouzoud Waterfalls on a day trip, marveling at the cascading waters surrounded by lush greenery.
Day 6 — Farewell to Marrakech
Conclude your journey with lunch at La Famille (a wonderful vegetarian restaurant) before your evening flight back to Milan.
Extra food tips: Kilim, Le Jardin, Caffè des Épices, Petanque Social Club, Ling Ling by Hakkasan.
Note: rooms inside riads are usually very dry and may lack heating — pack accordingly.
