Fitness studio ‘The Olive Garden’
Sport in the city centre of Marrakech
Tennis, Fitness, Jogging, Golf, and Swimming
Fitness
In Marrakech, there are many sports facilities, but one’s are better than the others. If you prefer fitness as a sport, you will find that the selection is very limited, and you only come across hotels with fitness studio. There is a large gym in Marrakech, with men and women divided. There are two buildings next to each other. If you would like to rent a holiday apartment in the centre of Marrakech near a fitness studio, you can rent a great apartment with 100 m2 roof terrace and swimming pool in our Majorelle holiday complex. The gym has to be paid separately. The club for sports and fitness is located almost diagonally opposite the holiday complex. There is the possibility to pay a single entrance ticket, or buy a ten-card. The offer is large; fitness equipment and courses such as: Spinning and belly dancing, as well as other sporting possibilities are offered. There is also a hammam (typical Arabic bath).
Tennis
If you prefer to play tennis, it’s a little easier. There is a total of 3 noteworthy tennis clubs. All offer courses for everyone. If you don’t have a car, you should know that the Tennis Club Royal of Marrakech is located directly in the new district of the centre of Gueliz, where there are many apartments. Even so you can combine sports with city holidays. You can most likely walk from the apartment by foot to the club. The other two tennis clubs are just outside.

Jogging and Swimming
Jogging outdoors is not a good idea in the city centre of Marrakech. Moroccans do not practice individual sports such as jogging or fitness, although the trend has changed more and more lately. Even fat Moroccan women now want to lose weight. The first “Joggingexemplare” are however to be found beside main traffic routes with stinking car fumes, although there are beautiful and also large park facilities, as for example the Menara, although it’s curious how one does not encounter anyone jogging in these types of places.
On the other hand, every January there is the International half Marathon International half Marathon of Marrakech. The exact date has not yet been fixed.
There are plenty of swimming pools in Marrakech, but none are orientated towards sport. There are also a lot of dance classes and dance schools in Marrakech, as well as other possibilities for sport.
Golf
Golf is a good choice for sports in Marrakech. There is a large range of courses. The nearest golf course to the ‘Olive Garden’ is the “Palmerai Golf Palace”. It is located on the same area as the Palmerai ‘Olive Garden’. There are also 5 other significant golf courses, as well as one Directory for Golf:
