Caravan Cocktail Bar offers an atmospheric escape from the busy streets of Marrakech’s medina. Inspired by the legendary jazz standard Caravan, composed by Duke Ellington in 1932, the venue brings together the glamour of a Casablanca-era speakeasy and the mystique of the ancient Silk Road.

Its interior is characterized by dark wood paneling, plush velvet banquettes, intimate lounge seating and an elegant Art Deco-style bar counter. Low lighting lends the room a sense of old-world sophistication, while an illuminated indoor pool adds an unexpected visual feature to the setting. The atmosphere becomes especially captivating during the nightly live jazz performances by resident band Black Experience, whose music transforms the intimate lounge into a lively gathering place for music lovers and cocktail enthusiasts.

The cocktail menu takes inspiration from two worlds: the musical heritage of jazz and the aromatic flavors of the Orient. Rather than relying solely on familiar classics, Caravan presents a collection of signature creations with evocative names that transport guests to faraway destinations. The Bagdad Café and Silk of Samarkand are among the house’s distinctive cocktails, reflecting the bar’s fascination with legendary trading routes, exotic spices and storytelling.
