Local advice for timing

If you can, plan your visits to major sites like Jardin Majorelle or the Saadian Tombs early in the morning during spring or autumn. The temperatures are milder, and the gardens, in particular, feel more serene then. For Jemaa el-Fna, getting there before the evening rush lets you soak in its charm without the wave of tourists. Also, try exploring Gueliz on a weekend afternoon when locals hang out, and the vibe gives you a genuine sense of Marrakech beyond the usual tourist trail.
