Things to Do in Marrakesh in February

Koutoubia Mosque

One of the benefits about visiting Marrakesh during the slower season is smaller crowds at the popular local attractions. Built in the 12th century, the Koutoubia Mosque is a feature of the Marrakesh skyline, dominated by its imposing 70 metre (230 feet) minaret. Located in central Marrakesh, this tower is one of the signature architectural features of the city.

However, because it is an active mosque, non-Muslims are not allowed inside the historic structure. Regardless, the exterior is exquisite enough to keep most camera-wielding tourists happy.

Bab Agnaou

The Bab Agnaou (Gate of the Gnaoua) is one of 19 gates that protected the city at one time starting in the 12th century. One of the oldest fixtures in the city, this gate is stately and ornate with inscriptions from the Quran.

This gate is one of the best preserved in the city as well as one of the most remarkable. This gate marks the entrance into an area of Marrakesh with former royal structures and significant other attractions.

L'atelier Faim d'Epices

Another popular thing to do while in Marrakesh is take a local cooking class through L'atelier Faim d'Epices. This company provides complete service for those interested in learning how to cook traditional Moroccan cuisine including bread, salads and entrees. This company will pick you up at your hotel in Marrakesh and drive you to their facility just outside of the city limits.

Over the course of an afternoon, two local chefs teach you how to cook a meal, which you then get to enjoy while sitting on a terrace overlooking an olive tree grove. This excursion is a must for anyone who wants to experience local culture or considers themselves foodies.

Dates for the diary

One very popular festival during the month of February is the Almond Blossom festival. Markedly celebrated in a nearby village of Tafraoute, southwest of Marrakesh, this festival occurs when the local almond trees bloom.

If you are a botany aficionado, make note that the window of opportunity for proper festivities will only be available for a few days before the blossoms fade. Locals celebrate with traditional music and dishes to welcome the springtime bastion.

Another popular cultural festival is the Dakka Marrakchia Festival, celebrated throughout Morocco. This festival combines traditional music with the spiritual history of the region. The festival has seven patron saints which are represented by seven local musicians or groups from local neighbourhoods.

If you happen to be staying in a neighbourhood that has a participating musician, you may not be able to escape the celebrations. In addition to the processions, there are workshops, classes and exhibitions in local museums to keep the cultural tradition alive.
