The Most Interesting Places to Visit in Marrakesh:
Jemaa EL Fna Square:
The vast open square in the heart of the medina is one of Marrakech’s biggest attractions and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Moreover, expect to see snake charmers, street entertainers, and overly enthusiastic henna artists at every corner.

Menara Garden:
Local tradition has it that a sultan would seduce his guests over dinner and lovingly throw them into the Menara’s pools to drown them. On the other hand, this seems to be the furthest thing from the minds of couples strolling through the artificial lagoon, or families picnicking in the middle of these royal olive groves. This is arguably the most attractive green space in Marrakech. With its 19th-century pavilion and reflecting pool against the backdrop of the Atlas Mountains. Above all, climbing the small pavilion is not worth the high entrance fee.
Yves Saint Laurent Museum:
The French designer loved spending time in Marrakech. Therefore, He even bought the Jardin Majorelle in 1980 and opened it next to the gardens in 2017. The Yves Saint Laurent Museum is dedicated to Yves’ couture legacy and has a permanent display of hundreds of garments spanning his 40-year career.

The Koutoubia Mosque:
Five times a day, a voice rises above the din of Jemâa EL Fna Square as the muezzin calls the faithful to prayer from the minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque.
This tower is a monumental cheat of Moorish ornamentation: scalloped keystone arches, jagged merlon crenellations, and pleasing mathematical proportions; the square design is an Amazigh trademark. Moreover, this 75 m high tower, dating from the 12th century, was the prototype of the Giralda in Seville, Spain.
The Secret Garden:
Here, it’s not the building but the traditional Islamic garden that is so special. Fed by a restored original khettara (underground irrigation system), the gardens are set up as a living museum to showcase the ancient hydraulic works. To sum up, there is a good cafe on its ramparts and a tower overlooking the medina.
El Badi Palace:
The epic ruins of the former palace of Sultan Ahmed el-Mansour. Hence, are set in sunken gardens and surrounded by epic ramparts whose dilapidated towers offer a panoramic view of the medina.
Majorelle Gardens:
It’s one of the best places to visit in Marrakesh it was created by French painter Jacques Majorelle this botanical garden is home to more types of cacti than you can find in a terrarium, and its centrepiece is a stunning indigo blue art deco house.

Saadian Tombs:
The Saadian sultan Ahmed Al Mansour Ed Dahbi spared no effort for his tomb, importing Italian Carrara marble and gilding honeycomb muqarnas (decorative plaster) with pure gold to make the Chamber of the 12 Pillars a sufficiently glorious mausoleum. Al Mansour died in splendour in 1603. but, a few decades later, the Alawite Sultan Moulay Ismail walled up the Saadian tombs to keep his predecessors out of sight and out of mind. After that, It was the French who reopened them in 1917.
Bahia Palace:
This 150-room palace was the home of the vizier turned slave. Abu “Bou” Ahmed, spared no effort to make it beautifully decorated. The painted and gilded ceilings, the polychrome zellige tiles, and the carved stuccos still have the desired effect, which is simply “wow”.
The Perfume Museum:
Formerly the Museum of the Art of Living, this small perfume museum explores Morocco’s love affair with essential oils. Rooms cover topics such as hammam rituals, the cosmetic benefits of argan and prickly pear oils, and the role of aromatherapy, herbs, and spices in Moroccan culture. If you like olfaction, you can even sign up for a workshop to create your perfume (400Dh to 600Dh). The café in the shaded courtyard is a relaxing place to have tea.

Copper Souk:
Very difficult to discover, this small street is a real Ali Baba’s cave, which offers the most beautiful objects of white copper or bronze: teapots, trays, cutlery, vats, some beautiful specimens of daggers or jewelry as well as lanterns with hallucinating sculptures. In short, we don’t know which store to recommend as all these merchants are friendly and present, at very affordable prices, objects of impeccable quality.
Café Littéraire Dar Chérifa:
It is a real cultural place, which regularly hosts exhibitions, workshops, concerts, and events. As a result, this inimitable space leads us into a state of meditation of the mind and heart.
Mellah neighbourhood:
Marrakech’s Jewish quarter has undergone a massive renovation program. Don’t miss visiting the Al Azama synagogue and the extraordinary Miara cemetery.
Palm grove museum:
There is no complete archive of modern Moroccan art in the centre of Marrakech. It is here, hidden in the palm grove museum, and it is worth visiting. Located in a vast Andalusian garden of adobe houses, it presents an exceptional collection of photographs, paintings, and sculptures. Above all, its watercolours, drawings, prints, and oil paintings from the 20th century by Marrakesh artists such as :
These artists are particularly rich and show how local artists have been inspired by Moroccan life and Islamic culture.
