Jemaa el-Fnaa Square
Start your journey in the heart of Marrakech at the iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. By day, it’s a vibrant hub of activity with street performers, musicians, and bustling market stalls. As evening falls, the square transforms into a lively open-air food court, offering an array of traditional Moroccan dishes and delicacies.
Koutoubia Mosque
Just steps away from the square stands the majestic Koutoubia Mosque, the largest in Marrakech. Its 77-meter-high minaret, a masterpiece of Almohad architecture, dominates the skyline. While non-Muslims are not permitted to enter, the mosque’s impressive exterior and tranquil surrounding gardens are well worth a visit.
Bahia Palace
A short walk from the Koutoubia leads to the Bahia Palace, a 19th-century gem of Moroccan architecture. Wander through its grand halls, lush gardens, and intricately decorated courtyards adorned with zellige tilework, carved stucco, and cedarwood ceilings.
Saadian Tombs
Nearby, the Saadian Tombs offer a window into Morocco’s royal history. Dating back to the 16th century, these tombs are renowned for their ornate decoration and the resting places of Saadian dynasty members, hidden for centuries and rediscovered in 1917.
Jardin Majorelle & Yves Saint Laurent Museum
For a peaceful retreat, visit the enchanting Jardin Majorelle—a vibrant botanical garden originally created by French painter Jacques Majorelle. Adjacent to it, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum honors the legendary fashion designer and showcases his creative journey and connection to Morocco.
The Souks of the Medina
No trip to Marrakech is complete without getting lost in the winding alleys of the Medina’s souks. From spices and textiles to ceramics and handcrafted jewelry, the markets are a sensory experience. Embrace the local culture and try your hand at bargaining for unique treasures.
El Badi Palace
Conclude your exploration at the El Badi Palace, once a grand 16th-century complex built by Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur. Though now in ruins, its vast courtyards and panoramic views offer a powerful reminder of Morocco’s opulent past.
