The best area to stay in Assahrij is within a riad in the Medina, particularly around the Dar el Bacha and Mouassine areas.The Medina is the historic heart of Marrakech, a walled city filled with narrow, winding alleyways, bustling souks (markets), and traditional riads. It's an experience in itself, with the Koutoubia Mosque minaret often visible above the rooftops, providing a useful landmark. The main square, Djemaa el-Fna, is a short walk from most of the central Medina.For couples seeking a romantic and authentic experience, staying in a riad near Dar el Bacha is ideal. This area is known for its exquisite, often larger, riads that offer a tranquil escape from the lively streets. You're close to the Dar el Bacha Museum and the Royal Palace, and it's a relatively quiet part of the Medina, allowing for peaceful evenings after exploring.Families will find the Mouassine area particularly convenient. It's centrally located but tends to have more open spaces and slightly wider alleys than some other parts of the Medina, making navigation with children a bit easier.

The best time to visit Assahrij, Marrakech, is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is most pleasant.During these months, the temperatures are comfortably warm, typically ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for exploring the Medina and its many attractions without the intense heat of summer. You'll find the gardens, such as Jardin Majorelle, at their most lush, and the evenings are great for dining outdoors. This period also avoids the cooler, sometimes wet, winter months.For those who prioritize a relaxed and unhurried experience, the shoulder seasons of late March to April and late September to October are particularly appealing. The crowds are generally thinner than during peak holiday periods, allowing for a more serene visit to popular sites like the Bahia Palace or the souks.
