10 AMAZING PLACE YOU MUST VISIT IN MARAKECH

2018-06-16T18:25:00.000-07:00

Otherwise known as the Red City, Marrakech is everything you would expect it to be – busy, chaotic and exotic. The North African city is also home to some of the most beautiful and interesting sites in the world. If you are visiting and looking for things to do in Marrakech or places to photograph, here are some of my favorite beautiful places to visit in Marrakech…

Bahia Palace

The Bahia Palace will give you a taste of what life was like for the very rich in the 19th century. The site is said to be originally built as a harem’s residence by the infamous Si Ahmed ben Musa. For all its notoriety it’s an excellent example of Noveau-Riche Eastern Architecture. Expect to find lavishly decorated interiors, zouak painted ceilings, a tiled courtyard and beautiful 8-hectare gardens. A Marrakech site not to be missed.

Koutoubia Mosque

The Koutoubia Mosque is the largest mosque in Marrakech. Built around 1150, the exceptionally beautiful and 65-meter high minaret dominates the city’s skyline. It’s also the oldest of the three great Almohad minarets remaining in the world. Although this is still a place of worship it’s one of the best places to visit in Marrakech and visitors are welcome if they dress appropriately.

Majorelle Garden

These unusual botanical gardens were designed in the 1920s by French artist and colonial expatriate Jacques Majorelle. Definitely one of the most beautiful places to visit in Marrakech, the peaceful Majorelle Garden offers a welcome respite from the busy streets and also some great photo opportunities. The gardens are cleverly designed with water features and over 300 species of subtropical plants including many types of cactus.

Souk Bazaars

The Souk Bazaars are an unmissable part of a trip to Marrakech. The Medina (the historic district of the city) is the best place to start your shopping. Here you’ll find endless labyrinths of souks selling everything from spices to kaftans and plenty of snake charmers, acrobats, and musicians hanging out in-between. Just remember to haggle well.

El Badi Palace

While actually only the remains of a palace, the historical site is still one of the most important and beautiful places to visit in Marrakech. The original building was built by the Saadian king Ahmad al-Mansur in 1578 and was thought to have taken over 25 years to construct. All of the 360 rooms and courtyard were once was once richly decorated with no expense spared – Italian marbles feature heavily and large amounts of gold were imported from Sudan. You’ll even find a small underground jail where the king used to keep his unlucky prisoners.

Saadian Tombs

These Marrakech tombs were only recently discovered but they actually date back from the 16th century. The tombs are beautifully decorated with fine cedar wood, polychromic tiling, and stucco work. Its a small site comprising of three rooms but they contain corpses of about sixty members of the Saadi Dynasty. Outside the building are a garden and the graves of soldiers and servants. As this is one of the most popular places to visit in Marrakech make sure you arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the worst of the crowds.

Menara Gardens

Located to the west of Marrakech and at the foot of the Atlas Mountains are the Menara Gardens. Originally formed in the 12th century as olive, palm and fruit orchards the gardens are now a beautiful and peaceful visitor attraction. It also features a formal pool overlooked by a pavilion which was previously used by the sultan and his family as a summer residence.

Tizi n’Tichka

This is the highest pass through the Atlas Mountains – a long and winding road which links Marrakech to the pre-Sahara oases. Built by the French in 1930s, it’s a well-constructed route offering incredible views. If you’re brave enough, you can follow the route through villages which perch precariously right on the edge of deep chasms. If you continue far enough you will also eventually reach the highest point in the road at the Tizi n’Tichka pass which stands at 2260 meters.

the bottom of a valley framed by the peaks of Jbel Toubkal..

Today, Ifni Lake has become a tourist destination with promising potential.
