Sunset and Cocktails in Marrakech, Our Favourite Combination

Sunset on our roof terrace is arguably our favourite time of day. Think skies drenched pink and orange, stone warmed by the heat of the day and night falling over the Marrakech skyline. All you need to add is your first sunset cocktail. If you are looking for the perfect setting for cocktails in Marrakech, then the El Fenn rooftop should definitely be on the list.

Our mixologists certainly know how to create something special, tell them your favourite tipple and they will shake it up accordingly. We have recently launched a new cocktail menu to tickle your fancy, but if you are missing out on a visit to Marrakech this Spring, then let us provide you with our new favourite recipes to try at home.
