Best-of list · Rooftop Guides
The best rooftop bars in Marrakech for 2026, from El Fenn and Le Salama in the Medina to the Sky Bar at Es Saadi, Nobu and The Pearl in Hivernage.
The short answer
7 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Marrakech keeps its drinking culture on the roof, where the heat eases and the Koutoubia lights up. The list below covers the Medina riads and the Hivernage hotels.
El Fenn's rooftop sits atop a labyrinth of riads off Bab el Ksour, the Medina's most photographed terrace for good reason. Pink walls, scattered cushions and a clear line to the Koutoubia minaret set the mood. Climb up for sunset, order a chilled rosé or a gin and tonic, and stay as the call to prayer rolls across the rooftops.
Full listing & hours →The Sky Bar at Es Saadi takes the polished Hivernage approach, a hotel terrace with a pool, DJ sets and a view toward the Atlas on a clear evening. It draws a dressed-up crowd rather than Medina wanderers. Come for golden-hour cocktails around 120 dirhams, and book a daybed at weekends, when the music and the crowd both pick up.
Full listing & hours →The Rooftop Garden crowns Nobu Hotel Marrakech with cabanas, a sundeck and a 360-degree sweep over the Red City and the Atlas. The kitchen runs a sushi bar alongside the signature Nobu cocktails, with live DJ sets after dark. It suits a long, indulgent evening over a quick drink. Aim for sunset, then settle in as the music builds.
Kabana looks straight at the Koutoubia minaret from a rooftop just off Jemaa el-Fnaa, which makes it one of the Medina's best-placed terraces for the floodlit night view. The list runs to cocktails and sushi, and the music leans lounge. Time it for the minaret lighting just after dusk, and reserve a front-row table, since the rail seats go first.
Full listing & hours →Le Salama runs a rooftop sky bar above its Medina restaurant, steps from Jemaa el-Fnaa and open daily until 2am. The mood is theatrical, with belly dance and live music most evenings over Moroccan plates and cocktails. It rewards a full night out rather than a single drink. Book the rooftop tier for the cityscape, and arrive hungry.
Full listing & hours →Terrasse des Épices holds a calm corner of the souks, a rooftop of private wooden booths that trade spectacle for shade and quiet. The kitchen sends out solid Moroccan and French plates, and the wine list is fair. It works best for a long Medina lunch out of the sun, or an early-evening drink. Find it off Rue Dar el Bacha.
Full listing & hours →The Rooftop Garden at The Pearl opens to non-guests in the Hivernage, a terrace with a pool and views across the medina to the imperial ramparts and the Atlas. The kitchen leans global, from sushi to the Josper oven. Come at sunset for drinks on a daybed, since that is the hour the staff and most reviewers single out.
