Rooftops in Marrakech: 9 terraces with a view in 2026

Want the Koutoubia in your glass? MK Rooftop is at 14 Derb Sebaai, in the Souk Laksour area, a stone's throw from the mosque. The website makes a point of this view, and The Rooftop Guide describes a 360° panorama that also takes in Dar el Bacha. On the plate, the cooking blends Morocco and France, with tapas, a couscous or a beef tartare mentioned by the guides. At the bar, house cocktails, French wines, champagne. It's a restaurant-bar, so alcohol is served. Service runs from noon to 2 am, every day. For sunset, book: the guide recommends it at peak times. Prices aren't published online; budget for an evening out in the medina rather than a snack. In September 2026, Google showed 4.6/5 from more than 7,800 reviews.

A former carpet shop on four floors, with two terraces right at the top. That's Nomad, at 1 Derb Aarjane, just above the spice square. From up there, the medina rooftops stretch all the way to the Atlas. The cooking describes itself as modern Moroccan. On the online menu: cauliflower with dukkah at 160 MAD, Agadir sardine kofta at 160 MAD, beef with prunes at 240 MAD. And to drink? The drinks menu published on the website lists no alcohol: herbal teas at 40 MAD, blended juices at 45 MAD, and even a tasting of all five juices as shots at 50 MAD. Perfect for a family lunch break. Service from noon to 11 pm according to The Rooftop Guide. A tip from the same guide: ask for a table on the top terrace.

No cocktails here. A break. The Maison de la Photographie is a museum that opened in 2009 in the medina, devoted to old images of Morocco. You tour the floors, then the stairs lead up to the roof. Lonely Planet describes this terrace as one of the highest in the medina, with views over the terracotta rooftops. You can have a fruit juice or a coffee there. Entry costs 80 MAD for an adult and 50 MAD for a resident, free for under-15s, payment on site only. The same ticket also gets you into the Musée de la Musique. Hours: every day, 9:30 am to 7 pm. So no late sunset in summer, but a real breather in the middle of the day. The address is tucked away in the alleys: keep your GPS on.

Red, striped, huge. The roof of the El Fenn hotel stretches over 1,300 m², at Bab El Ksour, with the Koutoubia close by and the Atlas in the distance. Good news: you don't need to stay there. The website states that the terrace also welcomes non-residents, with no booking needed for a drink. Space is limited, so come early, especially for sunset. The marble bar is almost 9 metres long and the mixologists serve the house margarita, with tequila, hibiscus syrup, lime and ginger. A snack menu is served on the roof, and the restaurant does lunch and dinner, to be booked. Open from noon to 11 pm, last orders at 10:30 pm. One guide mentions a 100 MAD minimum spend at weekends for non-residents: ask before going up.

Rahba Lakdima, a narrow alley, a house on two levels. And right at the top, a bar opening onto a terrace full of plants, with jasmine in the garden. L'mida invites you to watch the sunset there with a mint tea or a fruit cocktail. The Table Journey guide says the house doesn't serve alcohol. In the kitchen, chef Narjisse Benkabbou reinterprets Moroccan recipes with fresh, local produce, and the menu changes with the seasons. The "family" menus are designed to be shared at the table, which makes it a good choice for groups. In the distance, the Atlas. Service stops at 10:30 pm, so aim for an early dinner. Online booking on the website.

Opened in 2019, Kabana is the first venue from the Amazoz Hospitality group. It's at the gates of the medina, on rue Fatima Zahra, with an open-air terrace facing the Koutoubia. Hanging-garden decor, and a heated terrace when winter comes. The Mediterranean menu is by a chef from Ibiza, Luisma Naranjo, with a sushi menu alongside. The dish the website highlights? Truffle and parmesan fries. For the evening, a long cocktail list, wines chosen by the team, DJ sets and live music at night. It's open every day from 11 am to 2 am, with a brunch from 11 am to 5 pm advertised on Instagram. The website asks you to book.

Here, you can have dinner by a pool. Rooftop Garden occupies the 5th floor of the Nobu hotel, on the corner of avenue Echouhada and rue du Temple, right in Hivernage. Around the round pool: cabanas, a sun deck, lounge corners. And a 360° view over the city and the Atlas, according to The Rooftop Guide. The menu mixes Mediterranean and Moroccan dishes, with a sushi bar during the day. At sunset, DJs take over the decks. The stated dress code: casual chic. The guides disagree on opening time, noon or 10 am, but all mention closing around 1 am. Its Google rating is the highest in our selection: 4.7/5 from nearly 6,000 reviews in September 2026.

Small budget, big glass? Head up to My Kechmara, on rue de la Liberté, right in Guéliz. The roof is designed as an oasis, plants everywhere and a hanging garden. From 5 pm to 7 pm, happy hour cocktails drop to 70 MAD. Draught beer stays reasonable too: 35 MAD for 25 cl of Spéciale. On the plate, chef Hamid Halim cooks Moroccan and international dishes: kefta briouates at 70 MAD, Moroccan salad with feta at 90 MAD, beef and mushroom burger at 130 MAD. The wines come from Morocco, France, Italy and Spain. Open 7 days a week, from 10 am to 2 am, last orders before 1:15 am. Handy for afterwork drinks if you work in the new town.

Here, everything starts at 7 pm. LaÔ is on the 5th floor of a building in Guéliz, between rue Oued El Makhazine and place du 16 Novembre, with an open-air panoramic terrace. Chef Kamal's cooking describes itself as bistronomy, between France, Asia and Morocco. The bar matters as much as the plate: signature cocktails are made in front of you, with house infusions. In the evening, live music and DJs, with a saxophonist and acoustic duos on the programme, according to the website. It closes at 2 am, every day. For a date or a late night in the new town, it's above all an evening spot. Prices aren't shown online. On Google, it showed 4.6/5 from around 870 reviews in September 2026.
