Itinerary

1. Palais Bahia, which means brilliance in Arabic, is perhaps one of the best preserved and certainly the most interesting historical sites in Marrakech. Built between 1866 and 1867 by Si Moussa, this sprawling palace spans two hectares in the middle of Marrakech's medina and has 150 rooms, including a harem located just off the sunny main courtyard. Having housed the Resident General during the time of the French Protectorate, the Bahia Palace is today an unmissable historical museum open to the public daily and has already hosted events such as the Marrakech Biennale.

2. Hidden from the world for around 200 years, the Saadian Tombs were discovered a short distance from the bustling city center of Marrakech and are a true architectural gem. Home to two sumptuous mausoleums with around 60 tombs and over 100 more in the beautiful gardens

About Marrakech

At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
