Our selection of the main sights in Marrakech

Red city owes its nickname to the 19km of ochre-colored ramparts which surround its medina. The taken road to reach Marrakesh does not matter, the city is very easily identifiable by the simple vision of the Koutoubia. This mosque is to Marrakesh what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris. Overlooking the heart of the city, it dominates the unceasing activity of Jemaa El Fna square and its souks. Once these labyrinths are crossed, architecture enthusiasts will be able to concentrate on the different monuments that Marrakesh has : the sumptuous Ben Youssef madrasa, Marrakesh museum, Bahia Palace, Saadian Tombs and the fabulous El Badi Palace of which there is only ruins left. Finally, Marrakesh has another treasure : its gardens. Located outside the ramparts… A world of quietness and coolness is offered to you while visiting Jardin Majorelle and Menara.
