  Koutoubia mosque

Marrakech is an Islamic city and famous for its mosques and we will visit  koutoubia mosque  (69 meters high and 12.8 meter long) which is a magnificent place. It has a great similarity with Giralda of Seville .

The building was  built on Almohad style , it has six rooms above each others and lead to a balcony.

Also the four domes give it a very beautiful shape .

Al Bahia palace

The second place to visit is Al Bahia palace which was built between 1894 and 1900 in al Alawy style and it needed about 1000 workers to finish its building, and  this  gives you an idea about how incredible and fantastic  it is.

This palace was built for Ahmed Ibn  Moussa  (B Ahmed)and shows how the way wealthy people live in that period.

Although not all the rooms are opened but only just the ones which are favorable for the sultan but they are enough  for you to know a lot about this building, by watching the adorned walls and wood ceiling.

And by sitting in the courtyard which is also very beautiful and covered with marble and have many fountains.

So it is  a good place for you to take a lot of photos.

 The Saadian Tombs

As a visitor to Marrakech be sure to visit  the Saadian Tombs.

They were discovered in 1917 but their date goes back to  (1578/1603) which is the period of Sultan Ahmed al Mansour .And the first ones were built in order to protect the tombs of Sultan Saadian  .

In our trip we will visit the first  “koubba” in the southern part of Kasbahs , it is built in a nice way with its decorations and we are sure you will love it a lot .

Menara Gardens

We will travel  to a place full of olive trees that is watered by channels  which take water from a central lake  you can find  all of these in Menara Gardens with its large size of about 250 acres .

In these gardens  you won’t feel  time passing because of the wonderful views while you are watching the sun setting over the snow  covered mountains.

Djemaa El Fna square

One of the best places to visit in morocco travel is Djemaa El Fna square. Any time we arrive to it we will have  something different and it is always busy either in the morning because of the farmers and traders who come from Sous region and from the Atlas mountains to sell their goods as spices ,fruit, leather water bottles and metal famous cups .

Or you can go  in the afternoon to attend  shows  presented by dancers  who derived from  former Guinean slaves and  snake magicians . Also there are  talented  storytellers . So you will have a great time.

 The Majorelle Gardens

They are very  beautiful gardens with their coloured paths that are surrounded by plants and cactus and walking between them is so relaxing.

The old name of the   gardens  was Jardin Bou Saf, it was designed  along time ago by a French artist ,, Jacques Majorelle,  who was born in Nancy in 1886. This gives it a distinguished   artistic decor . Its name was deprived from Jacques Majorelle ‘s name.
