Things to Do Near Royal Mansour Hotel
When your hotel has its own medina, exploring the real one feels almost redundant. Almost.
Royal Mansour built you a private little city within the city — riad-style suites, its own gardens, the works. Impressive, sure. But the actual Marrakech, the loud and colorful and 900-years-old one, is sitting just outside the walls, and it would be a shame to fly home having only explored the five-star version.
What is there to do near Royal Mansour Hotel?
Royal Mansour sits on Rue Abou Abbas El Sebti, inside the Medina in Marrakech, just steps from some of the city's biggest landmarks. From the hotel, you're within easy walking distance of:

Can I walk to the souks from Royal Mansour Hotel?
Yes, and it's about as easy as it gets — a short, flat walk through the Medina's inner streets puts you right at the edge of the main souk network. First-time visitors, though, tend to underestimate how quickly those streets turn into a maze once you're a few turns in.

What's the best shopping area near Royal Mansour Hotel?
The same souk district near Jemaa el-Fna covers most of what visitors are looking for. If rugs are on your list, it's worth knowing that authentic handmade pieces and mass-produced imitations sit side by side in these shops — not always obvious to an untrained eye.
