To spend New Year’s Eve in Marrakech, choose the setting for 31 December, then compare the menu, entertainment, transport and booking conditions. This guide presents options to consider and Azar’s New Year’s Eve arrangements for welcoming 2027.
Why celebrate New Year’s Eve in Marrakech?
- The weather. In late December the days are mild and sunny. Evenings are cool, so bring a jacket for going out.
- It is close. The city is a few hours’ flight from most European capitals, which makes it ideal for a long weekend.
- The atmosphere. Gala dinners, live music, belly dancing: Marrakech celebrates the new year late into the night.
Where to spend New Year’s Eve in Marrakech: the options
A dinner show at a restaurant
An option that combines dinner and entertainment: a festive menu served at your table, shows during dinner, then the dance floor and a DJ after midnight. You dine and celebrate in the same place, with no need to find a taxi at one in the morning. Restaurants in Gueliz and Hivernage include venues to compare for this format.
An evening in a riad
More intimate, and often reserved for the riad’s own guests. Ideal for a small group looking for calm, less so if you want to dance.
A rooftop in the Medina
Perfect for sunset and a drink before dinner. For a whole New Year’s Eve, keep the cool December nights in mind.
A night in the Agafay desert
Depending on the camp and your starting point, camps offer dinner under the stars. A real change of scene, but you need to arrange transport both ways and bring warm clothes.
Our tips for a successful New Year’s Eve
- Ask about availability and payment conditions before confirming your booking.
