Bab Agnaou Gate
Rue Bab Agnaou, Marrakesh, 40008, Morocco
Bab Agnaou is the most beautiful gate in Marrakech — a 12th-century Almohad stone gateway that served as the ceremonial entrance to the royal kasbah quarter and is the finest example of Almohad monumental architecture surviving in the city.
Jardin Majorelle & Yves Saint Laurent Museum
Rue Yves Saint Laurent, Guéliz, Marrakech
Jardin Majorelle is the most famous garden in Morocco — a 1-hectare Art Deco botanical garden created by French painter Jacques Majorelle over 40 years beginning in 1923, rescued from development by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1980, and now the most visited attraction in Marrakech after Jemaa el-Fna.
Jemaa el-Fna
Jemaa el-Fna, Medina, Marrakech
Jemaa el-Fna is the most extraordinary public square in the world — a vast, irregular plaza at the entrance to Marrakech's medina that transforms from a daytime market of orange juice sellers, snake charmers, and henna artists into a nighttime open-air theatre of food stalls, storytellers, musicians, and the general spectacle of a city that has been performing for its own entertainment since the 11th century.
Koutoubia Mosque
15 bis Rue Fhal Smar, Marrakesh, 40008, Morocco
The Koutoubia Mosque is Marrakech's defining landmark — a 12th-century Almohad mosque whose 77-metre minaret is the tallest structure in the city and the model for the Giralda in Seville and the Hassan Tower in Rabat.
Medersa Ben Youssef
Derb Kaat Benahid, Marrakesh, 40030, Morocco
The Medersa Ben Youssef is the largest and most important historical theological college in Morocco — a 14th-century Islamic school (rebuilt in the 16th century under the Saadian dynasty) that once housed 900 students in cells arranged around a courtyard of such architectural perfection that it is considered the finest example of Moorish architecture in North Africa.
Souks of Marrakech
Souk Semmarine, Marrakesh, 40008, Morocco
The souks of Marrakech are the largest traditional market in Morocco — a labyrinth of covered alleyways radiating north from Jemaa el-Fna that is organised by trade: leather workers in one section, metalworkers in another, spice merchants, textile dealers, woodworkers, basket weavers, and the lamp shops whose pierced brass lanterns cast starfield patterns on the walls and ceiling.
Spice Market (Rahba Kedima)
Rahba Kedima, Medina, Marrakech
Rahba Kedima (the Old Square) is the spice market at the heart of Marrakech's souk system — a small, irregular plaza surrounded by stalls selling the spices, herbs, cosmetics, and traditional remedies that have been traded in this location since the city's founding.
