Are you planning to take a popular 3-day tour from Fes to Marrakech? Here are a few things you should add to your to-do list during your visit to Morocco:
The Medina and Jemaa El Fna
The heart of the city is the Medina, which plays host to most of the attractions you’ll find in Marrakech. The Medina was once the central hub of royalty and international trade. These days, the center of the city holds Jemaa El Fna, the open-air market that operates at all hours of the day and night. There, you can purchase every kind of handmade item—food, beverage, or trinket—to take home and remember your trip.
Bahia Palace and Badi Palace
The Bahia Palace and nearby Badi Palace were once residences of the royal family and their courtiers. These days, they primarily serve as beautiful landmarks and tourist destinations. These palaces are some of the most intricately decorated historical sites still in existence, serving as reminders of a vibrant past. They are also still in great condition and even play host to the current royal family on occasion.
Majorelle Garden
You might not think of visiting a garden when you plan a trip to the desert. When visiting Marrakech, though, you should! The renowned French painter Jacques Majorelle designed a garden in the city, which would later be owned by the world-famous fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. Now, the gorgeous garden serves as a real-life oasis, with palm and bamboo groves, babbling streams, and an adjoining museum that features shops and dining options.
Koutoubia Mosque
If you are interested in learning more about the history of Islam and enjoying one of the most beautiful and historic religious sites in the area, look no further than the Koutoubia Mosque. One of the most memorable and well-known landmarks in the area, the mosque has served as inspiration for many other buildings around the world. While only Muslims may enter the mosque itself, touring the outside of the striking building and enjoying the surrounding area is free and open to the public!
