The Jardin Majorelle: A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Marrakech

The Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech stands as one of Morocco’s most visited and beloved landmarks. Born from the passion and vision of French painter Jacques Majorelle (1886–1962), this magical garden took forty years of dedication to bring to life in the heart of the “Ochre City.”

As we stroll through its shaded paths, we're surrounded by an extraordinary variety of exotic trees and plants, each one whispering tales from distant lands. We pass alongside gentle streams and tranquil pools, their surfaces adorned with water lilies and lotus flowers. The air is filled with the sweet scent of nature, the rustle of leaves, and the melodic chirping of birds who’ve found sanctuary in this serene haven.

The Bahia Palace — meaning "brilliance" in Arabic — stands as one of Marrakech’s most beautifully preserved and fascinating historical landmarks. Constructed between 1866 and 1867 by Si Moussa, the grand palace stretches across two acres in the heart of the medina.

With its 150 intricately designed rooms, including a harem tucked beside the sun-drenched Court of Honour, the palace offers a captivating look into the opulence of 19th-century Moroccan architecture and design. During the French Protectorate, it served as the residence of the Resident General, adding another layer to its rich history.

Today, the Bahia Palace welcomes visitors daily as a public museum and cultural venue. It has also played host to prestigious events such as the Marrakech Biennale, making it not only a window into the past but a living part of the city’s artistic and cultural landscape.

Jemaa el-Fnaa (Arabic: ساحة جامع الفناء Sāḥat Jāmiʾ al-Fanāʾ, also Jemaa el-Fna, Djema el-Fna or Djemaa el-Fnaa) is a square and market place in Marrakesh's medina quarter (old city). It remains the main square of Marrakesh, used by locals and tourists.

Koutoubia Mosque (Arabic: جامع الكتبية Arabic pronunciation: [jaːmiʕu‿lkutubijːa(h)])[a] is the largest mosque in Marrakesh, Morocco.[2] It is located in the southwest medina quarter of Marrakesh, near the Jemaa el-Fnaa market place, and is flanked by large gardens.

The mosque was founded in 1147 by the Almohad caliph Abd al-Mu'min right after he conquered Marrakesh from the Almoravids. A second version of the mosque was entirely rebuilt by Abd al-Mu'min around 1158, with Ya'qub al-Mansur possibly finalizing construction of the minaret around 1195.[3] This second mosque is the structure that stands today. It is an important example of Almohad architecture and of Moroccan mosque architecture generally.

The leather tanneries in Marrakech are fascinating and historic sites where the age-old process of leather production is still practiced today. The most famous tanneries in Marrakech are located in the city's medina, particularly in the tannery district of Bab Debbagh.

When you visit a leather tannery in Marrakech, you'll witness a traditional and labor-intensive method of transforming raw animal hides into supple leather. The tanneries often consisted of a series of large stone vessels or pits, known as 'dyeing vats,' filled with various natural substances used in the tanning process.
