Riad Andalla or similar
Four nights in a riad a short walk from Jemaa el Fna, with your Qatar Airways flights, your Morocco visa fee and travel insurance, a private morning in the medina with a licensed guide, the Majorelle Garden and a hammam, in one price.
Affordable Marrakech Package from Nairobi: six days and four nights with return economy flights from JKIA on Qatar Airways through Doha and checked baggage on your fare. Kenyans need a visa from the Embassy of Morocco in Nairobi before flying. Your visa fee and the travel insurance the embassy asks for are included. Your planner prepares the document pack with you. You stay four nights with breakfast at Riad Andalla in the medina, about two minutes on foot from Jemaa el Fna, with private airport transfers on arrival and departure.
Your days take in a private morning in the medina with a licensed guide at the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs, the old Mellah and the souks, the Ben Youssef Madrasa and the Majorelle Garden with the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. You also spend an afternoon in a traditional hammam. One full day is left free for the two of you. One price per person sharing covers the flights, hotel, transfers and every experience listed below. One Baecation planner stays with you on WhatsApp from booking to landing home.
Marrakech is a city you feel before you understand it. The call to prayer drifts over the rooftops, donkey carts squeeze through lanes barely wider than your shoulders. Every evening Jemaa el Fna fills with food stalls, musicians and storytellers. It rewards couples who are happy to get a little lost together.
We base you in a riad on purpose. A riad is an old family house built around a courtyard, with blank walls to the street and a calm world inside. Riad Andalla sits in the lanes just off the square, so the main sights are close enough to walk to and you can slip back for a rest whenever the medina gets loud. Breakfast is served every morning. The roof terrace is where you will want to start and end your days.
The days are paced for two people on holiday. One morning is with a guide who knows the medina's history and its shortcuts. One day is for the gardens and a long, hot hammam. One day is yours. The flight is long, so the plan keeps your first evening easy and your last morning slow.

About Package
More information about this package
Your riad: Four nights at Riad Andalla in the Marrakech medina or a comparable riad confirmed at booking, in a Double or Twin Room with Terrace of about 18 square metres, with breakfast every morning.
At the riad: Riad Andalla has a roof terrace and a restaurant serving breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is served from 8am to 10am. Check in is from 3pm and check out is at 11am. The riad has no lift and its stairs are narrow and steep, as in most riads, so pack in soft bags you can carry.
Where you are: The riad stands at 15 Derb Zaari, about two minutes on foot from Jemaa el Fna. Marrakech Menara Airport is about 20 minutes away by car. Cars cannot drive through most of the medina lanes, so your driver stops at the nearest road and a porter wheels your bags to the door.
Your flights: Qatar Airways flies from JKIA to Doha in about five hours. The onward flight stops in Casablanca and lands in Marrakech in the late afternoon. On some dates the short last hop from Casablanca is on Royal Air Maroc, on the same ticket. The journey takes about 17 hours each way. Your checked baggage is on your fare. Marrakech is three hours behind Nairobi.
The medina with a licensed guide: Your guide collects you from the riad after breakfast for a private half day: the painted courtyards of the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs, the Bab Agnaou gate, the old Jewish quarter of the Mellah and the souks. Your entrance tickets are included.
Ben Youssef Madrasa: A short walk north of the souks, this old Quranic school has a courtyard of carved cedar, stucco and zellige tilework around a long pool. Your ticket is included.
The Majorelle Garden: The blue garden in Gueliz, once the home of the painter Jacques Majorelle and later of Yves Saint Laurent, with the Yves Saint Laurent Museum beside it. Tickets are timed and sold online only. Your planner books both for you.
A traditional hammam: An afternoon in a hammam in the medina: steam, a scrub with black olive soap and a rinse. Most hammams take men and women in separate areas, so ask your planner for a private room for two if you want to go in together.
Before you fly: Kenyans need a visa from the Embassy of Morocco in Nairobi before travelling. Your visa fee and travel insurance are included and your planner prepares the document pack, but each of you attends the embassy in person. Kenyans who already hold a valid visa from the United States, the United Kingdom or a Schengen country may qualify for Morocco's e visa instead. Your planner checks whether you qualify. Each of you needs a passport valid for at least six months from the day you land, with a blank page. Carry your return tickets, riad voucher, insurance certificate and a bank card.
Full entry guide: Every entry rule, with the official links, is explained on our Marrakech page at baecation.co.ke/marrakech.
Respect in the medina: Cover shoulders and knees in the medina and the old sites. Keep kisses and cuddles for private moments. Most mosques in Morocco, the Koutoubia included, are open to Muslims only, so visitors admire them from outside. Ask before you photograph people.
Guides, touts and tipping: Men may offer to show you the way or tell you a site is closed. A polite no is enough. Only use guides with an official badge. Performers and anyone who poses for a photo in Jemaa el Fna expect a tip. In the souks, prices are agreed by bargaining, so start well below the first price and smile. Carry small notes for porters, waiters and guides.
Staying safe: Keep your phone and bag close in the crowds of the square and the souks. Agree a taxi fare before you get in or ask for the meter. Drink bottled water. Do not photograph police, military sites or government buildings. Alcohol is served only in licensed hotels, bars and restaurants.
Travel cover: Your connection is in Doha. The wider Gulf region has seen strikes and attacks since July and airspace can close at short notice. We book changeable fares where the airline offers them and tell you straight away if official advice changes before you fly. The travel insurance in your price is the medical cover the embassy asks for. Ask your planner to add cover for flight disruption.
One planner, start to finish: Your Baecation planner prepares your visa document pack, checks your file before you go to the embassy, sends your e tickets, insurance and vouchers before you fly and stays reachable on WhatsApp throughout. If a flight moves or a day needs to change, you message one person instead of four companies.
Package Itinerary
The package itinerary is as follows
Affordable Marrakech Package Itinerary with Baecation Adventures from Nairobi
Qatar Airways usually leaves JKIA just after midnight, connects in Doha and lands in Marrakech in the late afternoon after a stop in Casablanca. On some dates the last hop from Casablanca is on Royal Air Maroc, which can mean a later arrival. The flight home leaves Marrakech in the late afternoon, connects in Doha early the next morning and lands at JKIA in the early afternoon. Your planner confirms the exact flights on your written quote before you pay. Marrakech is three hours behind Nairobi. The Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs open daily from 9am to 5pm. The Majorelle Garden opens daily from about 8am to 5pm with timed tickets bought online. The Yves Saint Laurent Museum and the Ben Youssef Madrasa keep their own hours, so your planner books both and swaps the days if needed. During Ramadan, expected from about 9 February to 9 March 2027, sites open later and close earlier. Many cafés in the medina close during the day. The plan follows the shorter hours.
Day 1: Nairobi to Marrakech
Morning: Documents in One Folder Reach JKIA late the evening before, as your flight leaves just after midnight. Put your passports with your visa stickers, your insurance certificate, printed return e tickets, riad voucher and a bank card in one folder for your hand luggage. Change planes in Doha, then settle in for the long flight west.
Afternoon: Into the Medina After a short stop in Casablanca, you land in Marrakech in the late afternoon. Clear immigration, change some money at the airport and meet your driver. A porter wheels your bags through the lanes to the riad. Check in and take your first mint tea in the courtyard.
Evening: Jemaa el Fna Walk two minutes to Jemaa el Fna as the food stalls light their grills. Share a plate of grilled meat, harira soup and fresh orange juice, then watch the musicians and storytellers before an early night.

What To Carry
Passports valid for at least six months from the day you land, each with a blank page
Your Morocco visa stickers in your passports, collected from the embassy before you fly. If you qualified for the e visa, carry your printed e visas instead
Your travel insurance certificate
Printed return e tickets and your riad voucher
Your yellow fever cards and any polio vaccination record as a precaution. Morocco does not list yellow fever as an entry requirement for travellers from Kenya, but keep them with your passports
A bank card and some US dollars or euros to change on arrival, as you cannot buy dirhams before you travel
Small dirham notes for porters, tips and the souks
Loose clothes that cover shoulders and knees for the medina, plus a light scarf
Comfortable closed walking shoes for uneven lanes
A warm jacket or jumper, as nights from December to February are cold
Sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen, as the sun is strong even in winter
Plug adapters for round two pin sockets, as Morocco does not use the three pin plugs we use in Kenya
Personal medication in its original packaging with your prescriptions
Leave drones at home, as they need permission from Morocco's civil aviation authority and can be fined and confiscated without it. Morocco has zero tolerance for drugs, cannabis included, even in transit, so never carry anything packed by someone else. Declare foreign currency worth 100,000 dirhams or more when you land or leave. Dirhams cannot be taken out of Morocco, so change what is left before you fly and keep your exchange receipts
