Mountain peak

Mountains
Toubkal is the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains and a popular destination for climbers seeking breathtaking panoramic views. Trekkers can arrange a summit with a professional Berber guide who specializes in ascending Kasbah Toubkal, providing planned routes and necessary equipment for the 3-day journey. It's important to pack essentials like trekking boots, layered clothing, a windbreaker, and water bottles. Travelers often start their trek from Imli and stay overnight in mountain tents.
Amazing and very easy hike. Some people had altitude sickness though, if you are susceptible, better take more days to acclimatise. Altogether very enjoyable.
Nikolay O — Google review
Great experience! Definitely recommend having a guide as they organised this whole experience for us. We slept in a shelter at 3100m and ascended the mountain in the night to arrive at the peak for sunrise.
Nugs — Google review
Great 2-day hike to the summit. We stayed in the Frech refuge (hot showers!) and after a 3am breakfast set off in the dark with head torches. The weather was perfect, clear skies no wind and not too cold at the summit. Amazing views and sunrise. It's a long trek back down to Imlil all on the same day. We arrived at 6pm, after a great lunch at the refuge on the way down.
John D — Google review
We did a 3-peak challenge in the Toubkal region, first climbing Ras and Timesguida. We found this route to be much quieter and, arguably, more challenging than Mount Toubkal itself. The next day, we climbed Mount Toubkal. The route was crowded, especially compared to the other peaks, and involved an early 4am start to catch the sunrise. The ascent is a non-technical trek, but the loose scree and patches of ice made it demanding. The views from the top, however, were spectacular and the sense of achievement from reaching North Africa's highest peak was a definite highlight. Overall, the trek was a very worthwhile and enjoyable experience. While it is physically demanding, it is not overly difficult, and the reward of a great view and a spectacular sunrise makes the hard work worthwhile.

I am a 50 year old man and went up with my 14 year old daughter, it was our first hike and we had never done anything like it. Our guide was very helpful before and during our trip, at the meeting up point we were met with our guide who sat down with us and explained the hike and answered our questions in a honest and respectful way, he made us open up at bags and told us directly what he thought was unnecessary and not needed, turned out only 2/3 of our three bags were needed. When we started our hike on the first day the guide stayed close to us making sure we didn’t feel ill or unsafe by constantly checking up and making sure that we felt comfortable and that we were fine. When we arrived at the base camp to spend the night we walked in to be greeted by other guides who made sure we were fine and showed us to our room which we shared with 20 odd other people we were allowed to walk around and sit down to talk to other people about what they thought about the walking and how they felt after sitting for just under an hour we had dinner which was a starter, main and dessert. We then went to bed with everyone around the same time to be all woken up at around 2:30 ish AM and started walking at 3/4 AM in the pitch black we were given head torches if we did not have one. Up the mountain was steep and you mostly got stuck behind other groups or all merged together, It was extremely steep and the higher up you climbed the thinner and colder the air became. When we reached the top my daughter became quite ill and emotional we did not stay up there for long because of the freezing temperatures as we descended my daughter started to have a panic attack and felt as if she couldn’t breath the other guides noticed and attempted to try to calm down my daughter and our guide then realised and went down to assist my daughter who was then carried down the mountain by him as he ran down so she could have better oxygen intake he constantly checked that she was okay and if she needed to drink or eat something when we got back down to the base camp we were met with lunch before walking back down the mountain and getting picked up by the taxi who took us back to our hotel. Overall an amazing guide who assisted my daughter and met her needs even tho we were up a mountain. Would 100% do again !!!

A wonderful experience, I recommend Kamal as a guide. If you feel up to it, you can reach the summit in one day. I managed to do it in 5 hours from Imlil to Toubkal
Arnold B — Google review
Climbing Toubkal was nothing short of unforgettable. Reaching the highest peak in North Africa felt like standing on top of the world. The trail is challenging but incredibly rewarding, with breathtaking landscapes that change at every turn, rocky paths, high valleys, and panoramic views that make every step worth it. The feeling at the summit is pure magic: crisp air, 360° mountain views, and a sense of accomplishment unlike anything else. Out of all the hikes I’ve done so far, this one is my absolute number one. A must-do for anyone who loves adventure and real mountain experiences. 🏔️

Hiking guide
The Ouirgane Valley trek was absolutely amazing. Incredible views and a chance to explore the beauty of Ouirgane. You learn so much about the local culture, getting to experience herbs, plants and fruit that grow on the mountains. The lunch was delicious and I could listen to Mohamed talking about the local history and culture all day and never be bored. As a solo female traveller I fully recommend this experience. I wish I was staying longer so I could go for more trips with Mohamed!
Chelsea D — Google review
Two absolutely fantastic experiences with Mohamed, firstly walking in the national park around Ouirgane (3 hours round trip) and then the next day taking his car along a narrow winding road (an experience in itself) to a small village overlooking the valley before back to his village for a Berber lunch (cooked by his mum) and walk back to the Domaine Malika. (~3hours 30 mins). Truly unforgettable.
David W — Google review
Was great experience - including berber lunch, with a lovely lady who cooked for us. We really enjoyed the walk and landscapes and our guide Mohamed was very knowledgeable and nice - he showed us his house and told us about local live. The only thing that ruined my positive experience is that after prepaying a full amount for a tour (without discounts) AND giving a 10% tip - the guide was still asking if we can pay more. I am not sure that guides are paid properly or the company takes a big cut…

Oukaimeden

Ski resort
Nature & Parks
Located in the High Atlas mountains, this village is popular for hiking & downhill skiing in winter.
A hidden gem for skiing in Morocco! The views are breathtaking, and the slopes offer a fun experience for all levels. A great spot for a winter escape near Marrakech!
Hisham A — Google review
Oukaïmden is one of the best places near Marrakech for adventure, whether you’re into off-roading, hiking, or just enjoying the scenery. The road to get there is already an experience, with winding mountain passes and stunning views of the Atlas Mountains. Once you arrive, the landscape is breathtaking—snow-covered peaks in winter, lush greenery in spring, and a mix of rocky and earthy terrain year-round. For off-roading, it’s a playground. You can take trails that lead into the high mountains, with technical sections, river crossings, and some challenging ascents. If you’re on your V-Strom, you’ll love the mix of gravel, dirt, and rocky paths. But even in a 4x4, the experience is amazing, especially if you venture towards the remote Berber villages. The weather depends on the season, but in spring and autumn, it’s perfect—cool, fresh air with clear skies. In winter, it transforms into Morocco’s main ski destination, which is a unique contrast to the desert landscapes just a couple of hours away. For food, there are a few local spots where you can enjoy a classic tajine or a Berber omelet with mint tea while taking in the views. If you’re planning an off-road adventure, make sure your bike or car is ready for altitude changes and rough terrain. Overall, Oukaïmden is one of those places that never disappoints. Whether you’re there for the thrill of the ride or just to breathe in the fresh mountain air, it’s worth the trip.
Youssef Z — Google review
I recently visited the Oukaïmden téléphérique station, and while the experience was a mix of highs and lows, it left a lasting impression. The weather was absolutely perfect—snowy and crisp, making the surrounding landscape look magical. The views were breathtaking, with snow-covered peaks stretching as far as the eye could see. It’s truly a must-visit location for nature lovers. However, there are a few practical considerations to keep in mind. The road leading to the station is currently under construction, so be prepared for a bumpy ride. Unfortunately, the téléphérique station itself was not operational during our visit, which was a bit disappointing. A word of advice: be generous with the local people you meet. Many of them depend on tourism for their livelihood, and their kindness and hospitality add a special touch to the experience. Lastly, avoid paying for parking—there's often no official system, and you shouldn't feel obliged to give money unnecessarily. Overall, Oukaïmden is worth the trip for the views and the snow, but plan ahead and manage your expectations regarding the facilities.

Amazing bouldering. If you're not a climber, ignore this post. If you're there for the bouldering, book your flights and go. Accommodation is mixed, mostly basic, some self-catering others not, but you're there for the rocks, which is worthwhile. Buy supplies before you leave Marrakech. You can get water and some other basics from village shops, but bring a healthy supply of crag snacks etc.

Ourika Valley Waterfalls

Park
Nature & Parks
Valleys
Exploring the Ourika Valley Waterfalls is an unforgettable adventure that combines stunning natural beauty with cultural experiences. The journey begins with a scenic drive through the valley, where you can admire the majestic Atlas Mountains in the background. A guided hike leads you to the first waterfall, which takes about 40 minutes and offers breathtaking views along the way. It's essential to wear sturdy footwear as you'll navigate uneven and slippery rocks.
We had a great guide in Abdul. The 150 families in the town share the guide roles to even out the income. A couple of days short of my 69th birthday this was a challenge. Good shoes required. Some steep scrambling, lots of places to turn an ankle or worse. I needed an arm to lean on several times, especially on steep descents with precipitous drops to the valley floor below. It is anything but a simple walk. Thank goodness for the guide. It is amazing that there are stalls and cafes lining most of the route up.
MADDOGLEP — Google review
The village has a vibrant, lively, and fun atmosphere, with only a handful of foreign tourists. While this may be appealing to Moroccan locals, the relative lack of international visitors could be a red flag. Additionally, the area is extremely busy, making parking difficult to find. I am giving a 2/5 rating—not because of the hike itself, but as a cautionary note for the management and local authorities. Upon arrival, we were directed by a parking attendant named Hossein to a lot charging 10 DH per hour due to high demand. He was friendly and, after learning that we were new and interested in hiking, explained that the trail to the upper waterfall was about a 1.5-hour loop. However, without us requesting it, he proceeded to accompany us for the entire hike, greeting local vendors along the way. At first, we assumed he was simply taking a break and coincidentally walking in the same direction. While I expected to give him a small tip, I was unprepared for what followed. When we returned to the parking area, Hossein demanded 35 euros (approximately 52.5 CAD) for his unsolicited “tour guide” services, in addition to the standard parking fee. This was an unreasonable and unexpected charge, especially considering that most Canadians do not earn that amount in a single hour. While we appreciated the time saved by not having to navigate the unmarked trail alone, we never requested a guide. This experience left a negative impression, reinforcing concerns about tourist-targeted scams that can overshadow Morocco’s genuine hospitality, rich culture, and historical significance. It’s unfortunate, as such encounters discourage tourism and diminish the country’s appeal to international visitors. I sincerely hope that local authorities take action to regulate such behavior, ensuring a more transparent, welcoming, and fair experience for future tourists.

We booked Ourika waterfall trip through our riad and had a helpful guide called Abdul. The waterfalls were beautiful and surrounding picnic areas near the river , local craft on display amazing . It took group about 40 minutes to hike up to first waterfall. Remember to bring good trainers or hike shoes :) Enjoyed the drive through the valley and sight of Atlas mountains nearby. The trip included a stop at an original Berber house and a Cooperative which sold local, natural products such as argan oil. A lovely day out.

I had a great time at the Ourika Valley Waterfalls, I booked “Ourika Waterfalls, Atlas Mountains & Guide, Lunch” on get your guide. Highlights include: the women’s cooperative and sampling the argon oil products as well as buying a few (pick the 30ml if you only have hand luggage), the meal, and the hike itself. The meal was buy a river and was beautiful, and I enjoyed a bit of time to rest out of the minibus before we started our hike, and the needed energy that came with it. Anou was a great guide to the mountains, really charismatic and funny. He answered all questions and served as a great personal photographer. There were some really ingenious jacks the locals use to keep drinks cool and refreshing. The sights themselves were also beautiful. I’d recommend this as I think staying in Marrakech for the whole holiday would have been a bit boring and it’s the highlight of my trip so far.

Had an amazing experience climbing up the mountains to get to the largest waterfall in the area. Make sure you are wearing very comfortable footwear with good GRIP because there is a lot of walking up the rocks, which are uneven, wet and slippery. Would not recommend if you have mobility issues. Our tour guide took us to this restaurant (can't find it on Google. See picture) and honestly the food was better than all of the restaurants we've eaten in in Jmaa el-Fnaa square in Marrakech. We ate next to the flowing stream. It was an amazing view. The only downside to our visit was that we went during Summer holidays on a Sunday so it was extremely packed with mostly locals so threre were long queues getting up and down the track.

Beautiful quaint village, no McDonald’s built here yet! So still has a lot of charm and natural beauty around. The people seem to want to sell things for small costs rather than beg so do bring some small change with you and don’t mind them approaching :) can see this place becoming swarmed with instagrammers and others wanting a hike so do go soon.

The Ourika Valley was the highlight of the trip. The river that runs thru the valley is striking and the restaurants that line the banks are out of a book. I’ve never seen a thing like this before. I’d recommend hiring a personal travel guide to drive you through the valley to see the Berber people, ride camels, bike to the waterfall, and enjoy some local foods.

Tizi n'Tichka

Mentioned on

Mountain pass
Outdoor Activities
Scenic Drives
Tizi n'Tichka is a well-known road pass in the Atlas Mountains that connects Ouarzazate to Marrakech. It serves as a popular stop-over for tourists on their way to destinations like Zagora or Merzouga, which are located southeast of Marrakech. The pass offers breathtaking views of the winding roads below and refreshing mountain air, although its twisty nature may cause altitude or motion sickness in some visitors.
Scenic route through the Atlas. Been there on end of December with a perfect weather (sunny, dry, blue sky). Very good roads and little traffic, as the off season and (as told by locals) less tourists than normally @ that time of the year.
Radek — Google review
This is the highest major mountain pass in North Africa. The road was constructed along the old caravan trail by the French military in 1936. There are some little shops and W/C at the top which you can buy some nice souvenirs. It has been believed for a long time that it reaches an elevation of 2,260 metres (7,415 ft) above the sea level (this is also indicated on a sign at the top of the pass), but a gps-measurement by Hans Mülder on 30 November 2022 indicated it is only 2,205 metres (7,234 ft) high, which was confirmed by Google Earth, on which the highest altitude of the pass is 2,207 metres (7,241 ft).
M L — Google review
The pass itself is just a place, a gate where you can take a photo. Besides that, a few stalls where sellers will try to pull you in. And that’s basically all. The pass itself is not so interesting, but after the pass there is the old road P1506 going through beautiful old Arab villages, where you can take many nice photos. Next attractions are the Ancient Salt Mine and further: Tourassine Old Kasbah. Beautiful roads with views like in Nevada. I recommend renting a car and driving this route: Marrakesh – Tizi’n Tichka – Ancient Salt Mine – Tourassine Old Kasbah – Aït Benhaddou – Ighrem N’Ougdal – Marrakesh. Stop for a while, talk with the locals… even if they don’t understand what you say… it is still a wonderful experience.
Marcin — Google review
Out of Marrakech this is a very scenic route. The roads are excellent, some roadworks are still going on to improve them even further. At regular intervals there are parking lots to enjoy the view or buy some souvenirs from the locals or have a coffee or tea. The altitude is incorrectly given as 2260 meters, it is actually 2205 meters high. Wait for a sunny and clear day.

The winding road, with its dramatic curves and breathtaking scenery, makes the journey both thrilling and beautiful. The views from Tizi n'Tichka are simply amazing. You can see vast landscapes of mountains, valleys, and traditional Berber villages. It's a great place to stop and take photos, as the scenery is incredibly photogenic. However, it's worth noting that the shop owners along the pass can be a bit pushy. If you let them intimidate you, it might detract from your experience and make you rush during your photo moments. They will often approach you, but a simple "hi" and not paying them too much mind usually does the trick. Along the way, there are several spots where you can pull over to admire the view and even grab a snack from local vendors. The air is crisp and fresh, adding to the overall experience. Tizi n'Tichka is not just a route; it's an adventure in itself. Whether you're traveling to or from Marrakech, this mountain pass is a must-see, offering a unique glimpse into the natural beauty of Morocco.

We stayed here after a long day cycling through the mountains. The room was nice. Not exactlt fancy but it has what's needed like a hot shower and warm blankets. Breakfast was good with omelette bread olives and a few spreads. Not the cheapest place in town according to booking but it's worth the money and the staff was helpful

Paradis du Safran

Mentioned on

Nature & Parks

Nestled in the enchanting landscapes of Morocco, جنة الزعفران (Paradis du Safran) is a captivating ecological saffron farm that offers visitors an escape into nature's embrace. Owned by the spirited Christine Ferrari, who traded her corporate career for a life filled with dreams and donkeys, this hidden gem features not only aromatic saffron but also a diverse garden of medicinal plants and tropical fruit orchards.
What a hidden gem! Paradis du Safran truly lives up to its name, a small paradise nestled in the heart of Morocco. Christine, the visionary behind this magical place, has done an exceptional job creating an oasis of tranquility and beauty. The entrance fee of and the price was amazing. The atmosphere is serene, the food is authentic and bursting with flavor, and the customer service is impeccable. The Moroccan cuisine, with ingredients sourced directly from their garden, was a highlight. Every bite was a delightful blend of authenticity and freshness. The traditional Moroccan mint tea and dessert were absolutely amazing, true culinary treasures. A unique feature of the experience was walking barefoot through the garden, followed by washing our feet in the traditional way with warm water and salt, a simple yet rejuvenating ritual. The garden itself is a sight to behold, filled with vibrant flora and fauna. Keep an eye out for the majestic peacocks gracefully wandering around, adding to the charm. Although the schedule is strict, Christine and her team graciously accommodated us despite a slight delay, which we greatly appreciated. Make sure to check their opening times in advance and arrive on time. This peaceful retreat was a welcome escape from the noise and bustle of Marrakech. Christine and her team are excellent hosts who go above and beyond to ensure a memorable visit. I wholeheartedly recommend Paradis du Safran to anyone visiting the area. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that blends nature, culture, and relaxation in perfect harmony. Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in this enchanting slice of paradise!

Make sure you get to Safran Paradise with plenty of time before it closes. This is a place to relax, not to check your watch. Upon arrival, you are greeted by staff and offered a herb-infused mineral water. The owner, Christine, welcomes all guests personally and gives a brief explanation : you can relax on lounge chairs and observe the safran field with the stunning Atlas Mountains as a backdrop, walk through the herb garden and orchards, which conveniently have everything labeled in 4 languages, relax by the koi pond, serve yourself to complimentary mineral water from the fridge, and walk along the barefoot path, an experience which is topped with different herb-infused footbaths and argan oil pampering for your feet. A perfect spa experience. Throughout your visit, you'll be accompanied by beautiful peacocks and peahens, chickens, a sweet donkey, and many wild birds! Straw hats and sun tan lotion are available for you to use, and when you have finished enjoying the garden, the staff will set up a table for you to enjoy a small snack and a safran tea. The venue also offers lunch, for an additional price. You pay at the end, and can browse the gift shop. Wish we had come a little earlier to enjoy the place a little while longer.

Amazing experience! Do not miss this. Christina is so lovely, she greeted us at the door and welcomed us with rose infused mineral water. This was followed by a generous snack with freshly baked bread, saffron tea, argon oil, olives, a pomegranate and freshly roasted nuts. We sat in a beautiful setting to enjoy. If you want lunch you will need to email her 1 or 2 days in advance. She had each plant labelled and we could smell all the different herbs from mint to thyme to stevia to oregano. There was a spot to practice your own yoga or play pétanque. The trees were bursting with life we saw mangos, lemons, olives, oranges, avocados .. the list goes on. She also created a sensory ‘barefoot path’. You take your shoes off and walk in many different surfaces from rocks to plants etc. afterwards there are a series of foot baths to cleanse your feet followed by a fresh towel and Argon oil. A truely delightful experience. We left with full bellies, relaxed feet, and a few goodies from the shop including freshly ground ras Al hanout.

Paradis du Safran is a beautiful, magical place. I come every year with a group and it’s always an oasis of mindfulness and peace.

It’s a highlight for me each time I visit Morocco. See you next year! ❤️

Jarjeer Mule And Donkey Refuge

Absolutely amazing place, a rest place for donkeys and mules that have been worked to the bone, abandoned in skips, abused, got ill... they're cared for very wel and they welcome to visit and learn. They also have horses, including gladiators, who was in many movies before they didn't need him anymore and planned to put him down!! Luckily Jarjeer managed to talk the people in to surrender him to them and he's now found a retirement home. Well worth a visit when in marrakesh, its only 30ish min on a bus and 6pence. The entry is free but they prefer if you let them know you're coming. They don't have any shop or cafe but can certainly use donations tho nothing was asked or even felt cornered into.. Oohh there's also a few cute welcoming dogs and 2 sheep...

This is a heartwarming sanctuary for sweet donkeys and horses, where you can truly feel the love and care. The staff is incredibly kind and dedicated, they know each animal by name, and every animal has a story. The place is well organized, clean, and run with so much compassion. They are doing such important and beautiful work here. We had a wonderful morning and left with full hearts. Highly recommended!

This was a highlight of our visit. It is a charity that gives back to those donkeys, mules and horses that have worked so hard for others yet have been discarded. The team who work here clearly enjoy their work and were all friendly on arrival. We were shown around by the manager and he was very knowledgeable about all of the animals in their care. They take no donations on site but this is such a worthy cause so please visit if you can or donate to help with the care of these lovely animals. You can see they are happy to be there after their tough working life. They can now rest.

A wonderful stop on our last day in Morocco. Although the stories of many of the animals are very sad, it’s wonderful that they’re getting such care and rest here at the refuge. We took the bus from Marrakech as indicated on the website. It was easy to follow the signs from the bus stop. We received a guided tour and got to meet many of the animals. Thank you for your work, Jarjeer!

Amazing! We took the local bus from Marrakesh, which was easy, cheap and a great way to see a bit of everyday life outside the city. This refuge does incredible work rescuing and caring for donkeys and horses that have been abandoned or mistreated (and they’ve also adopted some lovely dogs and two sheep!). It’s a calm, beautiful place where you can truly feel that the animals are safe, loved and finally at peace after hard lives. The people running Jarjeer deserve every bit of support they can get. Thank you for your amazing work 🫶🏼
Marie — Google review
Notified Jarjeer that we wished to arrive on Saturday to visit the refuge. We arrived at 1pm and they were so accommodating. They gave us a beautiful tour of the property and all the amazing work that is being done there. It is both a sad but also happy experience. Sad knowing how people treat animals but happy knowing there are places like this in the world to educate and provide a space for animals to get help and recover. The work they are doing is truly amazing and this was the absolute highlight of the trip. Keep up the fantastic work and we can not wait to come back next year and donate to such an amazing cause.

Saadian Tombs

Mentioned on 
+126 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Saadian Tombs, situated in the Kasbah of Marrakech's royal district, offer a captivating glimpse into ancient Moroccan beauty. Commissioned by Sultan Ahmed Al-Mansur in 1554 for his family, these mausoleums are the sole surviving vestiges of the Saadian dynasty's rule from 1554 to 1659.
Now this is what I call an architectural gem of gems. The king’s tomb - almost, I mean almost out of this world. Must be the finest ever stone carvings. The angels’ masonry. And the mellowest possible light shining through it all.
Janko M — Google review
Not sure this one is worth it, to be honest. Ticket prices are quite high during peak tourist times (I don’t recall the exact amount), and many attractions seem to charge the same rate. There’s also usually a long queue for the main tomb, which really isn’t worth it. The site itself is quite small – everything you see is basically in the photos – especially compared to places like El Badi.
Mehdi — Google review
Lovely to see and full of history, but just know that Google Maps doesn’t lead you to the exact entry point so you might need to walk around or do a few loops to find the actual entrance. The line to get in is much longer than the time you’ll actually spend inside. The tombs themselves are beautiful and well preserved, with amazing detail and craftsmanship, but it’s a pretty quick visit once you’re in. Worth seeing if you’re nearby, but the wait definitely outweighs the sight.
Seth I — Google review
An interesting place to visit. Once a hidden mausoleum surrounded by gardens and decorated with colorful tiles, marble, and stucco. The Saadian Necropolis – a necropolis in Marrakesh, consisting of two mausoleums, a courtyard, and gardens, originally intended for the rulers of the Marinid dynasty. Today, the richly decorated tombs are the resting place of the princes of the Saadian dynasty and an excellent example of Arabic architecture. Unfortunately, place is very small and to see main room you have to stay in the queue 30 minutes - depends on people - not worth this time and price. Ticket: 20 euros.
Monika K — Google review
Although this is an incredibly beautiful place, after visiting the Bahia Palace for the same price of 100 MAD (11-11-2025), it was disappointing. You couldn't enter, there was a lot of construction, the lineup was very long and people could only take shots across a barrier at different entrances.
Sheila F — Google review
An interesting historic site, but if you are limited in time or budget I don’t think this is a must see attraction for tourists in Marrakesh, unless you have a specific interest in history or ruins. It is a pretty small site that can be seen in 30 minutes or so, and half of that time is spent waiting in line to enter one smaller room with limited occupancy.
Samantha C — Google review
Total rip off. I mean, you pay 200 MAD (approx. 20 Euros) for 2 people and all you see is an entrance area which was under construction and two tomb sites. On top of that you have to queue up for the last tomb. That's all. We were in there for approx. 30min. I mean at least change the price if there is construction work going on. But I think still then it wouldnt be worth it. I gave 2* for the last tomb site which at least looked good.

El Badi Palace

Temporarily Closed
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
El Badi Palace, a 16th-century decadent palace built by Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur, now stands as a historic relic in modern Marrakech. Although it was once an elaborate palace adorned with gold, turquoise, and crystal paving, it suffered destruction in the 18th century. The crumbling facade of El Badi Palace offers stripped-back elegance with exposed rock, sunken gardens, and inviting pools where storks nest.
Absolutely stunning space which takes you back in time with a bit of imagination - very nice to stroll around, explore and enjoy those time resisting walls of a long gone palace. I love some good ruins, so it was the best experience for me :)
Anja L — Google review
The El Badi Palace ruins were indeed quite beautiful, and the experience was generally enjoyable. However, the 100-dirham entrance fee seemed a bit high, particularly considering the relatively short time needed to explore the site. The tour began with a visit to the cellar, where photographs and information about the palace were available. Following this, one could then ascend to the rooms, which, despite being in ruins, provided excellent opportunities for taking pictures, before proceeding to the central area, where a pleasant walk could be enjoyed.
Wilmar K — Google review
A good visit however perhaps lacking in proper information about certain features. The palace is exactly as pictures suggest, but despite this it is a wonderful place, and with not so many visitors you can get great photos.
Felix O — Google review
I don’t really understand all the positive reviews, especially recently. They are building some massive pavilion in the center, which ruins the entire courtyard. Elsewhere, the “underground labyrinths” are interesting, I guess, but not all that exciting. About half of the signs have an English translation, and the rest do not. A waste of 100 DH, I would not spend more than 20 DH on this if I could help it.
Desi P — Google review
Entry price 100MAD (approx 9.5€) for foreigners. If going during hot period, visit early in the morning. If you’re short of time, are a fan of decorations and need to make a choice, I suggest you go to Bahia Palace instead. However, I suggest even more trying to make space to visit this palace!
Zara K — Google review
A wide place to visit but there aren't too many things to look at in details plus a part of it was been renewed. You will learn a bit about how the city wasn't a city outside of the Medina back in the days and also about the genius of the engineers who created a way to bring water underground to Morrocan cities.
Jonathan S — Google review
El Badi Palace is such a fascinating place to visit if you’re interested in the history of Marrakech and Morocco’s older dynasties. Walking through the ruins really gives you a sense of how grand and powerful this palace once was. You can almost imagine what it looked like during the Saadian dynasty ; the scale, the courtyards, and the architecture are all incredible reminders of Morocco’s rich past. It’s a beautiful place to explore and an essential stop for anyone who loves history or to take awesome pictures!
Salwa L — Google review
Interesting site that can be seen in under 1 hour. The tourist price of 100DH is a bit on the high end, but it is worth a visit if you are interested in history and aren’t on a tight budget or timeline.

Bahia Palace, also known as the "Palace of the Brilliant," is a vast and intricately designed late 19th-century palace located in Marrakech. The complex spans over 8 hectares, including a beautiful garden that offers a peaceful escape from the city's hustle and bustle. With its colorful tile work, mosaics, colored glass, carvings, and elaborate ceilings, the palace dazzles visitors with its intricate design.
The palace is stunning and full of beautiful details, but it was quite crowded and parts of it were under renovation during my visit. Tickets were purchased at the entrance and cash payment was the only option. Still, it’s definitely worth seeing for the architecture and atmosphere.
Dr A — Google review
Parts we saw was absolutely beautiful, but we noticed there are very heavy renovations being completed, so it took us less than an hour to walk around and was disappointing considering the price of 100 dirhams! Hopefully it will look nicer once the renovations are done but until then I would give this a miss
Chloe L — Google review
This is one of the highlights of our trip. Every corner, every room, every passageway was exceptionally beautiful. With ceilings were particularly impressive. It's a large place and every room is visitable with the exception of the garden which is still under construction (11-11-2025). There was also an interesting art exhibit from Mexico being shown for a couple of the rooms. A huge number of people were passing through at the same time, but there was no wait and no undue crowding.
Sheila F — Google review
A bit crowded and a lot of construction here and there, yet still worth the money! Discover hundreds of year old artisanery in the walls, the ground you walk on and on the roofs - everywhere you look is handcrafted and one room is more beautiful than the other. Wander round, explore the beautiful spaces and go back in time. I've been here twice and it always amazes me.
Anja L — Google review
Bahia Palace is absolutely stunning. I’m so glad I decided to visit despite some reviews mentioning restoration work. Each room is a piece of art and the ceilings alone are worth the visit. The craftsmanship is just wow. There were still a few areas under restoration when I went, but you can still see plenty. It’s definitely a must-see when in Marrakech.
Salwa L — Google review
Mixed reviews:/ one of the most stunning sections was under construction so couldn’t be enjoyed (and there is no break in price). Packed w tourists, try and skip rush hours and be patient if you’re looking for a certain influencer part/angle. I think I saw more stunning tiles and architecture roaming the alleys of the Medina. Don’t forget to look up! The ceilings are some of the most wonderous parts.

The palace, with its lovely riads and interiors, is truly a sight to behold. There are a few rooms with particularly impressive interiors to admire. While the entrance fee of 100 dirhams is a bit on the higher side, it is still a worthwhile experience. During our last visit, there were quite a few renovations underway.
Wilmarryme — Google review
Beautiful palace, very interesting to see the traditional architecture and design. We ignored warnings and went in the middle of the day which meant it was obviously busy, but not overwhelmingly so and we could still get good views. Could do with a few more signs explaining the different parts of the design. But overall a good way to spend an hour or so

A beautiful and historical mosque in the heart of Marrakesh city. This gorgeous mosque is about 10 minutes walk from the famous Jemma el Finna square. There was loads of construction work carried out when we visited this mosque. We were allowed entry because it was Asar prayer time and we were lucky to offer our congregational Asar prayers here. Interior of the mosque is simple yet elegent and exhibit impressive old architecture. I am unsure whether entry is allowed for non Muslims but for Muslims, you can enter and offer prayers. A nearby guide was briefing to his visitors that entry is limited due to recent earthquake. The mosque is old and potentially a hazzard if big number of people are allowed in. However, I am unsure whether the entry restrictions were implemented post earthquake or they existed even before. There is no entry fee.

Such a beautiful and iconic spot in Marrakech. It was under construction when I went, so I didn’t get to see all of its beauty up close, but even from the outside it’s impressive. The architecture and scale make it easy to see why it’s such an important landmark. The surrounding area is peaceful and nice to walk around, especially in the evening when everything lights up. Even though I couldn’t experience it fully, it’s still worth stopping by.

Such an amazing touristic spot in Marrakech. The tallest construction in Marrakech and Morocco. It rises for 80 meters. Was constructed by mistake in the nearby area but not facing the direction of Qibla, then demolished and re constructed again in the right direction. Many stalls on the way to the mosque selling pomegranate and sugarcane juice, some clothes and paintings.

The Koutoubia Mosque is an absolute must-see and without doubt the most iconic landmark of Marrakech. Its stunning minaret rises above the city and can be seen from almost everywhere, serving as a point of reference while exploring the medina. Built in the 12th century, it is often called the “sister” of the Giralda in Seville and the Hassan Tower in Rabat, sharing the same architectural style and historical significance. Even though non-Muslims cannot enter, the exterior is impressive, especially at sunset when the minaret glows. Visiting this monument is essential to truly understand the character and spirit of Marrakech

The Koutoubia Mosque is a must-see in Marrakech. Non-Muslims can’t enter, but the exterior and tall minaret are impressive. The surrounding gardens are peaceful and great for a short break.

Jemaa el-Fnaa is a bustling square in Marrakech, known as the heart of the city's carnival. During the day, it hosts market stalls and various performers such as snake charmers, henna artists, and musicians. As night falls, the square transforms into a lively hub with food stands offering grilled meats and fresh orange juice vendors.
Such an amazing place!!! Some tips you need to know: 🎁 You will fibd amazing presents from clithes, shoes, decorations, etc 📦 Everything you buy can be send home but onky if you buy in very stablished stores with good reputation 🤝 You will have to come to an agreement of price, usually prices are 2 or 3 times higher than tge real ones 💯 You can pay in cash or credit cards 👀 Check in detail what you are buying, for example somethingS are made with old leather and they break immediately like shoes.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, the beating heart of Marrakesh, is a place unlike any other in the world. At first glance, the square feels like a vast stage where life unfolds in a surreal choreography of noise, color, and movement. Crowds flow endlessly across the open space, creating an atmosphere that is both chaotic and mesmeriz-ing. During the day, food stalls and vendors line the square, offering fresh juices, fragrant spices, dried fruits, and countless souvenirs. Snake charmers, monkey handlers, and street performers mingle with locals and tourists, producing a scene that feels like a dream—or a hallucination. The cacophony of drums, flutes, and voices intensifies the sense of otherworldliness. As night falls, Jemaa el-Fnaa transforms. Dozens of food stands appear, filling the air with the aroma of grilled meats, tagines, and couscous. Clouds of smoke and steam blend with the glow of lanterns, while storytellers and musicians gather circles of spectators. Visitors often describe Jemaa el-Fnaa as overwhelming, even disorienting, yet unforgettable. The mixture of exotic scents, vivid colors, and surreal images leaves a lasting impression, making the square not just a marketplace but a living symbol of Morocco’s cultural energy. It is a place that creates an experience both chaotic and magical.

Chaotic in the best way possible but I never felt unsafe. There are a lot of vendors who will try to get your attention, call out to you, or invite you to look at what they’re selling. Just be mindful and keep walking if you’re not interested. I usually just ignored it and was left alone. Trying to be polite and saying “no thank you” only invites more conversation. They speak Arabic, French, English, and Spanish, so switching languages won’t get you out of it. There’s so much to do and see here. It’s full of life and energy, with tons of food stalls, juice stands, restaurants, and places to grab a drink. There’s music, street performers, and all kinds of entertainment everywhere you look. It’s also where I saw the most tourists in all the cities I visited. You’ll see animals that people offer to take pictures with, but just keep in mind they may or may not be treated well. Still, the overall experience is unforgettable. Jemaa el-Fnaa really feels like the heart of Marrakech.

Very old culturally and historically square and acts as one of the main market places in medina. Almost as main soul (and full of life) and good vibes! of Marrakech city and definitely as a tourist you should see and explore in person. In day time, and definitely at night time!

Busy, vibrant, exciting, chaotic madness ! Loved it 😃 Don't be afraid of the street food, it's gorgeous (just stay away from fish). We felt very safe. Not too bothered by hawkers. A must at night or day. But especially at night 😀
Gareth E — Google review
A must visit place while in Marrakech. Very crowded square next to the famous El Fnaa Mosque, occupied daily with hundreds of strollers, sellers, drum dancers, snake and monkey players, ice cream and juice stalls, shops, restaurants and hotels. Definitely you will find something you like. We spent 2 hour just walking around and still feeling that we didn’t see everything. Remember: if you catch a monkey or take photo for any seller, he will not leave you till you pay him something.

This is a vibrant place, packed with bustling activities. There are many entrances & exits. The square gets busy as the sun goes down with the night being the busiest. There are shops, cafes, eateries, and entertainment all in one square. If you are not comfortable with crowds don't go to this place. The souks are narrow & you will be walking alongside other pedestrians, people on motorcycles & scooters, as well as donkey carts & rickshaws. All in good fun!

A famous square with a market and food stalls – a lively meeting place and a place for street artists to perform. Beware of people with snakes, though. They'll ask for money for a photo from a distance, then another for a snake dance. If another friend helps him and takes photos of you, you have to give money to everyone – if you don't, they'll follow you and beg for a few dollars. Plus, there are tons of shopkeepers, each trying to persuade you to buy their food, henna, music, juices, all at exorbitant prices for tourists. In the evenings, there's sometimes singing and dancing, but you have to give money to someone even if you only watch a single second – otherwise, the owner will be angry... It's worth seeing during the day and at night, but in the evening, you'll be walking with a thousand people next to you, so the walk is tiring...

House of Photography in Marrakech

History museum

Art Museums
The House of Photography in Marrakech is a museum that offers a glimpse into the Morocco of the late 19th and early 20th centuries through its extensive collection of over 10,000 photographs, old photographic plates, and documents. Located in the city's medina, this museum serves as a time machine transporting visitors to an era captured by diplomats, explorers, and photographers. The museum also hosts rotating exhibitions alongside its permanent collection.
Beautiful museum showing and telling Moroccan stories by image and text. Texts are also added in English which is a big plus. The roof terrace is really quiet and therefore the perfect place to cool down and get some refreshments. Nice view over the city! The entrance fee is really fair, especially because it also grands you the entrance to the music museum a little further.

A riad that hosts Marrakesh's photography museum. A wonderful collection of photographs documenting the people and places of Morocco and Marrakech. Some of the pictures are over 100 years old, but even those from the 1960's seem to tell a story of a different world. Many of the portraits are stunning to look at and observe, but it's worth reading and understanding some of the history of these pictures. The building is relaxing and not too busy. There is a very nice, relaxed cafe at the top on the terrace which serves various drinks and juices. Recommended for a rest and a change of pace from the souls.

Of course, I couldn’t just walk past the House of Photography when we were staying so close, especially while we’re have a hobby as photographers ourselves. So yes, visiting was a must. It’s a small but charming place, with lots of different works displayed on the walls, and upstairs there’s a rooftop terrace where you can relax and unwind after your visit.

One of the nicest things we did in Marrakesh, especially if you are a photographer or even just want a glimpse of what it was all like over the past 150 years and understand the complexity’s of the indigenous berber/ Amazir communities…Genuinely loved this place and a perfect break from the usual Marrakesh energy… the cafe upstairs is really tasty and has a lovely view… got recommended by a long time Marrakesh head and would recommend as well

Maison de la Photographie was a true gem in Marrakech. The exhibition was beautifully curated, offering a fascinating glimpse into Moroccan history and culture through stunning photography.

Madrasa Ben Youssef

Mentioned on 
122 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Madrasa Ben Youssef is a 16th-century college building in Marrakech, known for its stunning Islamic architecture. The intricate geometric patterns, ornate tile work, carved stucco, and cedar woodwork adorn the prayer hall and courtyards. Originally founded as a madrasa for religious and legal studies in the 14th century, it has a rich history as one of North Africa's largest theological colleges.
Crawling with tourists, but definitely worth the visit. Of all the many sites you can visit in Marrakesh The architecture and colors are some of the best here. There’s lots of little nooks and crannies to take photos. Unfortunately, one of the most stunning spaces is constantly covered with tourist so you might have to fight for a stranger free photo.
Heather A — Google review
This is an historical landmark intended to preserve Marrakech’s architectural heritage. It is a beautiful site. I got there at 9:30am on a Friday and entered with ease and no wait. I suggest going early to beat the crowd around 10:30am. I paid 50 MAD to get in, which is reasonable (about $5 USD). There’s a lot of incredible and intricate work that went to preserving/revitalizing this building. You can get through it in an hour. I suggest getting a tour if you want to dig deep into the cultural and historical significance of the site. It’ll be a richer experience with that context. There are a few checkpoints with video in various languages for you to learn more about the building’s days as an educational institution.
Brittany D — Google review
Once a bastion of learning in the region ,this amazing building has been restored to it's original glory. Light plays across the magnificent tiled walls and floors in each space. Small rooms fill the structure where students once studied various subjects. In the courtyard a beautiful water feature lies central to magnificent decorations sweeping the wall and door entrances. At the top of the multistory structure you can watch a film documenting the restoration of the building. The entrance fee is reasonable and queing at the time of our visit was not excessive.
Brent B — Google review
Ben Youssef Madrasa is a beautiful place with stunning details, but it is very crowded. I visited around 1:00 pm and surprinsingly there was no queue to buy tickets at the entrance, which made getting in quick and easy. You only need about 1 hour to see everything comfortably, including the courtyard and student rooms. Well worth visiting if You are in Marrakech.
Martin K — Google review
Visiting the Bou Inania Madrasa in Fes felt like stepping into a living work of art. Every detail — from the intricate zellige tiles and carved cedar wood to the graceful courtyard and marble fountain — reflected the brilliance of Marinid craftsmanship. Once a place of learning and worship, this 14th-century madrasa still holds a quiet, powerful energy. Standing beneath its beautifully decorated arches, I was completely absorbed in the harmony, history, and sacred artistry that fills the space. An unforgettable glimpse into Morocco’s rich Islamic legacy.

Garden

Botanical garden
Jardin Majorelle, located in Marrakesh, is a captivating botanical garden designed by the French artist Jacques Majorelle. This serene oasis features an impressive variety of exotic plants, vibrant colors, and peaceful water features that provide a tranquil retreat from the city's hustle and bustle. The garden also houses a 1930s cubist villa and an on-site cafe where visitors can relax amidst lush greenery.
Excellent. It’s for good reason this place has been designed by a fashion icon — it’s visible in every single detail. The colours are something to behold of, lively and giving the place a distinct vibrancy. The layout is wonderful, even in the heat of summer providing for calm. It can get busy at times, but giving tourists pre-defined slots to enter helps ease the crowd and make your stay enjoyable. Much recommended, it’s one of the must see items in the world.
Roland T — Google review
I love cactus plants and there is no better place for cactus lovers than Jardin Majorelle. This beautiful garden holds so much variety of exotic plants especially cactus. We booked our tickets a week in advance and visited the garden on satutday afternoon between 1.30 pm and 2.30 time frame window. There was slight wait for approximately 15 minutes prior to entry which is reasonable. Garden is gorgeous and nicely looked after by the management. There is overwhelming presence of security within this garden but i guess its necessary to protect the natural habitat. Sometimes visitors unintentionally do things which can cause a significant damage to the beauty of this garden. Therefore, presence of security personnel is imperative. This garden gets quite busy and you have to wait to take few pictures or visist this site. We felt like we were in time machine and life was so slow and peaceful whilst visiting this garden. Do not rush and enjoy each and every component of this beautiful garden. I envisage anything between 2 to 3 hours is reasonable timeframe to appreciate this garden. We bought the combo ticket of garden + Berber are museum which was a good decision. All details are clearly signposted for the ease of visitors. A must visit if you are in Marrakesh.

A beautiful place to visit with a photo opportunity around every corner! You need to buy your ticket in advance and if suggest getting the earliest slot you can. The queues when we left were very long. Inside you have to follow a prescribed route, but you can go at your own pace and take as long as you want. It is a lovely garden and the colours and contrasts of the garden and the architecture are stunning. But it does get busy.

Jardin Majorelle A true gem of Marrakech An absolutely stunning garden and one of the city’s must-see attractions. The vibrant blue villa, lush palm trees, and exotic plants create a peaceful and inspiring atmosphere in the heart of the city. Everything is beautifully maintained and full of colour and charm. It can get quite busy, so it’s best to visit early morning or late afternoon for a more relaxed experience. Perfect spot for photos, reflection, and a quiet escape from the city buzz.
Dr A — Google review
Beautiful, but be prepared for the crowds. ​There is no denying that the Jardin Majorelle is stunning—the colors and the plant collections are truly lovely and very photogenic. However, the experience is slightly dampened by the sheer volume of people. ​Important heads-up: You absolutely must book tickets online days in advance, as they don't sell them at the door. Be aware that even with a pre-booked time slot, we still faced a long queue just to get inside. It felt a bit chaotic despite the reservation system. ​It is definitely worth seeing for its beauty, just don't go expecting a quiet, peaceful stroll!

Morocco Mall

Shopping mall
Shopping
Morocco Mall is a prominent and luxurious shopping destination sprawled across 24 acres. It features a traditional souk, an IMAX cinema showcasing English-speaking films, and an expansive selection of dining options. The mall also boasts a large aquarium visible from the center without requiring entry fees, as well as Adventureland, an underground theme park with various rides and an ice rink.
Rabat’s Morocco Mall is no longer a promise, it’s a pulsating reality. Now inaugurated and fully operational, this 100,000 m² architectural triumph redefines luxury retail in Morocco’s capital. Designed by Singapore’s DP Architects (creators of Dubai Mall), the space dazzles with avant-garde curves, cascading waterfalls in its soaring central atrium, and a glass façade that floods interiors with sunlight. Integrated into the Wessal Bourgreg development, it complements landmarks like the Grand Theatre, embodying Rabat’s metamorphosis into a “city of light.” Retail & Culture, Perfected: With 200+ stores, the mall balances global luxury (Dior, Zara) and local pride—Yan&One’s chic designs and Café Clock’s modern-Moroccan flavors shine. The rooftop garden, a tranquil escape with Bouregreg River views, contrasts beautifully with the buzzing indoor aquarium, where vibrant fish glide past mesmerized visitors. Sustainability isn’t an afterthought: green roofs, energy-efficient systems, and recycled materials underscore its eco-commitment. Leisure Unleashed The once “coming soon” amenities are now thriving. Families flock to the ice rink’s frosty loops, while cinephiles lounge in the plush, recliner-equipped cinema. The food court elevates mall dining—skip chains for fragrant tagines, sushi bars, and gelato crafted from Argan oil. Grit Amid Glamour Weekend crowds test the 5,000-space parking lot, and a handful of stores remain under wraps. Yet, the mall’s soul lies in its staff: multilingual greeters, Youssef (the info desk’s walking encyclopedia), and security teams who blend professionalism with warmth. Morocco Mall delivers on its bold vision. More than a shopping hub, it’s a cultural landmark where Rabat’s heritage and future collide. Arrive early, wear comfy shoes, and let the waterfall’s murmur guide you this is modern Morocco at its finest.

Morocco Mall is hands down one of the best shopping destinations I've visited. From the moment you step in, you can feel the scale and luxury of the place. It’s not just about shopping; it’s an experience. The mall offers an incredible variety of stores, from high-end international brands to more affordable local shops, so there’s something for every budget and style. I particularly enjoyed the unique mix of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship alongside modern fashion. One of the highlights of the mall is the gigantic aquarium right in the middle. It’s truly stunning and adds a unique touch that I haven't seen in other malls. For families, it's a great attraction that the kids will love. There’s even a way to take an elevator ride through the aquarium, which was a fun and unexpected surprise. The food court offers plenty of options, with both international fast food chains and local cuisine, so you can grab a bite while enjoying the beautiful ocean views from the rooftop terrace. It’s more than just a place to shop; it’s a destination worth spending a few hours exploring.

The largest mall in Africa is a dump. From the pictures the mall looked nice inside but the mall is not maintained at all. Most of the tile floors are broken. Some sections there’s no tiles at all. The toilets are dirty and stinks. The air con is not on so it’s warm inside. The aquarium is a nice touch but it’s the only thing nice about this mall. The food court had some mediocre food stalls. This mall have some nice stores. But everything cost twice as much.
MisterME ( — Google review
We visited this mall during a roundtrip through several cities and, honestly, found it a bit overhyped. While the space is modern and clean, it didn’t offer anything particularly unique or memorable. The aquarium, often highlighted as a main attraction, felt underwhelming during our visit and isn’t necessarily a must-see. The food court also lacked variety and didn’t seem very inviting. That said, the Adventure Land and a few dining spots were enjoyable—but not quite enough to outweigh the drawbacks. If you're looking for a more well-rounded shopping and leisure experience, I’d recommend checking out Marina Shopping Centre instead.

There are no official laws in the Constitution of the Maldives that require women to cover their heads, but Maldivian women commonly wear a hijab and niqab in public.

Disrespectful, arrogant and service.

This is a House od God this not an amusement park. And you are a foundation not a profitable organization. And when wanted to make an official complaint he gave us a white printing paper and pen nothing official... So unfortunate for such a great mosque.

The beautiful building of the Foundation cost a lost of people's money but the Foundation is not doing enough for people. The mosque lacks green spots, trees and flower plants in the front lawn. The outside lawn floor is all marble and gets very hot in summer but there is no shade, no trees, no flowers, except in the corridors. The foreign visitors pay 120-Dirhams per person for a quick short visit inside, through basement. A lot of maintenance work needs to be done. Please beautify the outside lawn. Thanks.
