These beautiful, quaint gardens are nestled within the heart of the city. Packed with history and adorned with intricate mosaics, Le Jardin Secret is much more than a flower garden.
Entry fee: 80 dirhams per person (GBP: 6.46 / USD:8)


Have your lunch at the outdoor cafe surrounded by the beautifully kept botanicals, or pop up to the rooftop patio to enjoy a non-alcoholic drink and take in views of the whole city.
Relax at Rooftop bars and Riads
There's no better place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful weather than at one of the many rooftop bars.


Le Bistro Arabe My favourite is Le Bistro Arabe, a stunning rooftop patio where you can unwind to soft jazz after a long day. With excellent service, alcohol served, and happy hour prices, you won't find much better than this.
Visit Bahia Palace
This stunning 19th century palace was a grand residence for the grand vizier and his family. Over time the palace was expanded and embellished over to the grand, intricate wonder that it now is.
Entry fee: 70 dirham



Explore Le Jardin Majorelle
Explore this serene botanical garden and artist's retreat created by French painter Jacques Majorelle. Delve into the history of the artist's life, his relationship with Yves Saint Laurent, and the restoration of the property.
Entry fee: 70 dirhams


Definitely make sure to book a time slot as the gardens get very very busy and you'll be queuing for a long time if you haven't pre-booked.
Explore the Souks
These vibrant markets date back to the 11th century when the Almoravid dynasty founded Marrakech as the capital of their empire. Today these expansive markets are home to thousands of beautiful trinkets, decor, food, clothing and much more!
