3 Days in Marrakech: Desert, Balloon and Hammam Itinerary

A tested plan that combines the medina, an Agafay sunset, a sunrise balloon flight and a spa reset.

Day 1 — Medina and rooftops

Start at Jemaa el-Fna early, walk the souks to the Ben Youssef Madrasa, then Le Jardin Secret. Late afternoon: Bahia Palace, dinner on a rooftop overlooking the Koutoubia.

Day 2 — Agafay desert

Sleep in, spend the morning at the Majorelle garden, then get picked up at 15:30 for quad biking, a sunset camel ride and dinner with a show in the Agafay desert. You will be back around 22:00.

Day 3 — Balloon and hammam

Pickup at 05:00 for a sunrise balloon flight and Berber breakfast, back in town by 10:00. Rest, then book a traditional hammam and argan oil massage in the afternoon before your flight or a final dinner.

Booking tips

Book the balloon flight first — it depends on wind and may need rescheduling. Keep the hammam flexible, and never schedule the Agafay evening on your departure day.
