This guide explains how to turn these "wasted" hours into unforgettable moments, simply by getting rid of your luggage.## The real question: Where to leave your luggage in Marrakech?Before discussing the activities, we need to address the number one problem: your luggage.The Marrakech train station has an official luggage storage facility, but it is often crowded, has limited hours, and is located far from the city center.
