TOP SITES IN MARRAKECH
JARDIN MAJORELLE
Travellers to Marrakech are encouraged to immerse themselves in the serene oasis of Jardin Majorelle, a botanical garden that boasts a stunning array of exotic plants, vibrant colours, and tranquil water features.
Originally designed by French artist Jacques Majorelle, this enchanting garden took more than 40 years to complete and is now a popular attraction, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling streets of Marrakech. As well as the wide diversity of plant life, there’s a beautiful 1930s cubist villa to discover and an onsite café where guests can enjoy a light bite and a drink surrounded by greenery. A shaded respite from the Moroccan sun!
Gueliz
Gueliz represents Marrakech’s modern identity—a French-influenced district built during the colonial era that now serves as the city’s hub for shopping, galleries, cafés, and contemporary culture.
With its grid-like streets, chic boutiques, and vibrant dining scene, it feels more European than traditional. It’s the place to experience Marrakech’s evolving creative and social energy.
Agdal
Set south of the city center, Agdal is known for its spacious layout, resort-style living, and proximity to the Atlas Mountains. This district is quieter and more residential-feeling, with large hotels, golf courses, and expansive gardens that give it a relaxed, open-air vibe.
It’s ideal for travelers looking for tranquility, sunshine, and easy access to excursions beyond the city.
KASBAH
Located within the southern part of the Medina, the Kasbah is a quieter, more residential historic district with deep royal roots. Once home to sultans and court life, it’s anchored by landmarks like the Saadian Tombs and the grand Bab Agnaou.
Compared to the central Medina, the Kasbah feels more laid-back and authentic, offering a slower pace while still surrounded by rich history.
