There's a reason they call Marrakech the Red City. But it's not just the terracotta walls — it's the way the entire city transforms at golden hour, as if it catches fire from within.
As guides who drive through these streets every day at sunset, we've developed strong opinions about the best spots. Here are our favorites:
1. The Ramparts Near Bab Agnaou
The medieval ramparts glow like ember here, especially in the last twenty minutes before sunset. From our 4L, you can drive alongside the walls and feel the heat radiating from the ancient stones.
2. Koutoubia Gardens
The minaret silhouetted against an orange sky is one of the most photographed images in Morocco — and for good reason. The surrounding gardens are tranquil even in peak season.
3. The Palmeraie
Fewer tourists know this one. The palm grove at sunset, with the Atlas Mountains glowing purple in the distance, is otherworldly.
4. Djemaa el-Fna from Above
Climb to the roof terrace of Café de France as the sun sets and watch the square transform. The sounds, smells, and colors below are extraordinary.
5. The Secret Viewpoints
We keep two spots in our back pocket for special tours — accessible only by 4L track. The views are worth the bumpy ride.
