Marrakech

Marrakech in the rain

Rain is not frequent, with at most five rain days in any month, but it makes the lanes of the medina muddy and slippery. The Marrakech Museum, the Ben Youssef Madrasa, the Bahia Palace and the Saint Laurent museum are partly or fully indoors, and the covered souks help too. Keep the gardens and the ruins for a dry day.
