How to make friends in Marrakech as a newcomer or visitor
Marrakech is sensory and social — mint tea, rooftop sunsets and medina wanderings.
Top 3 things to do — and how to turn them into plans
- 1
Rooftop tea above Jemaa el-Fnaa
Watch the square come alive at dusk from above. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
- 2
Souk wander with company
Getting pleasantly lost is better with a partner in crime. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.

Jardin Majorelle morning
The famous blue garden, quietest early. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
Sidecar is for locals meeting locals, travellers meeting locals, and fellow travellers meeting each other. Friends only.
Mint tea first
A rooftop tea above Jemaa el-Fnaa is the classic first meetup — unhurried and easy.
Use the souks and gardens
A souk wander with a local or an afternoon in the Jardin Majorelle make natural shared plans.
Follow your interests
Cooking classes, hammams, live gnawa music and day trips to the Atlas all bond people fast.
