- Koutoubia Mosque - The standout feature of the Koutoubia Mosque, which non-Muslims are not permitted to enter, is its stunning minaret. Towering nearly 70 meters, it dominates the Djemaa el Fna square and is visible from much of the city.
The design of the Koutoubia minaret greatly influenced later towers, such as the Hassan Tower in Rabat and the beautiful La Giralda in Seville, as well as Moroccan architecture in general. The wide band of ceramic tiles at the top, the pointed battlements (merlons), the alternating patterns on each side, and various other decorative motifs can be seen on numerous buildings across the country.
The minaret is crowned with copper balls of decreasing size, a traditional Moroccan design. Typically, there are only three orbs; legend has it that the fourth was a gift from the wife of Saadian ruler Yacoub el Mansour, as penance for breaking her fast for three hours during Ramadan.

Bahia Palace - Bahia Palace is undoubtedly one of the top historical tourist attractions in Marrakech, although it does not draw as many visitors as Majorelle Garden, which can become quite crowded during the high season. This makes it a wonderful place to visit if you wish to avoid large crowds of tourists.
The palace itself is situated on a large 2-acre plot of land in the center of Marrakech’s famous medina. It boasts a total of 150 rooms, including a harem section located alongside the palace’s Court of Honor. -
Jemaa el-Fnaa - Jemaa El Fnaa is a must-visit destination in the Medina and the main square of Marrakech. It offers a fantastic experience for both visitors and locals at all times. While at this destination, visitors and locals can enjoy various shows that take place both at night and during the day.
In 2001, UNESCO recognized Jemaa el-Fnaa as a place of entertainment, providing genuine evidence of what to expect while in this square. -
Saadian Tombs - The enclosure consists of two main mausoleums, with 66 tombs inside them and over 100 more outside in the gardens. The first mausoleum, seen on the left as you enter, is the more impressive of the two. Built to house Mansour’s tomb and completed during his lifetime, its vaulted roof, intricate carvings, and stunning zellij tiles are reminiscent of the Alhambra in Granada (constructed 200 years earlier).
The first hall is an oratory and was probably not originally intended for burial, but it contains the thin marble stones of several Saadian princes. Here also lies the tomb of the mad Moulay Yazid, which ironically contrasts with the black-and-white script in the hall that reads, “And the works of peace they have accomplished will make them enter the holy gardens.”
In the back of the mausoleum is a very fine mihrab, supported by a delicate group of columns. El Mansour’s tomb is in the domed central chamber, flanked by the tombs of his sons and successors.
The second mausoleum is older but less impressive. -
Jardin Majorelle - This is the most famous garden in Marrakech. The painter Jacques Majorelle, son of the renowned Art Nouveau artist Louis Majorelle Nancy, created the famous Blue Majorelle color in 1937, an intense and clear hue found throughout the garden. It brings together a collection of plants from all over the world: cacti, yucca, lilies, bamboo, and more thrive alongside pools and an elegant Art Deco villa.
