The old part of Marrakech. Because of the color of the walls, it is called the "red city". Their height is about 10 meters, and their length is about 16 km. The total number of towers is more than 200. The streets are narrow, houses and other buildings are traditional for this area. In the medina there is also the Djamaa el Fna square - the busiest part of the former Moroccan capital. It is among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The main square of the city. She has many purposes. First of all, it is a huge "bitch" — that's the Arabic name for the market. They sell everything on the square: from spices to antiques. Circus performances are also arranged here and animals are put on display. There is a stage and opportunities for holding mass events of any kind. Locals say: if you spend one day on Djamaa el Fna, you can learn everything about Marrakech.

A picturesque park surrounds the house of the artist Jacques Majorelle. The master settled in Marrakech in 1919. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis, and the local climate was suitable for treatment. In his spare time, Majorelle began to create a garden. The hobby turned into a real passion. The artist communicated with botanists from different countries and bought exotic plants from all over the world. Even during his lifetime, the owner began to let tourists here.

They have existed since the XIII century. Later, an artificial lake was dug in the center. In 1870, a pavilion was built. Originally there was a small farm on this place. The number of olive trees exceeds the mark of 30 thousand. Fish were launched into the lake. Some species jump over the water, which complements the already picturesque landscape. Picnics are allowed in the surrounding area. In the evening – the best time for photo shoots.

It was built from the middle of the century before last for many years. Vizier Sidi Moussa commissioned a project for one of his wives. He periodically bought land around, so the architect had to make changes to the plan. The palace has only one floor. The reason is the excess weight of Moussa, who did not want to climb stairs. Tourists are attracted to this labyrinth building because of its unusual appearance and interior design.

The construction was carried out during the lifetime of Ahmad al-Mansur. He allocated large funds for the construction of the palace, so the best materials and expensive jewelry were used. Presumably, there were about 360 rooms inside. Moulay Ismail ordered the destruction of Qasr al-Badi when Marrakech was no longer the capital. The demolition lasted a total of 10 years. Only the orange orchard and fragments of the walls have been preserved.

The largest mosque in the city. It was built in the XII century. It is known primarily for its minaret, which rises 69 meters.

In the past, books were sold on the site in front of the entrance, and a religious library was located nearby.

Sultan Ahmed Al-Mansur created this tomb primarily for himself. He was buried here in 1603. Around the graves of his associates, wives, and later other representatives of the royal house are located. When the government changed, the Alaouites did not dare to destroy the cemetery, but surrounded it with a wall. Nothing was known about the tomb until 1917. Then it was discovered by a French expedition.

The Islamic educational institution was built in the XIV century. It has not only preserved its appearance, but the religious life of the city is still being built around it. The madrasah got its name from a nearby mosque. The complex covers an area of 1.7 thousand m2. There is a large swimming pool for ablutions in the courtyard. Through it the road leads to the main prayer hall. The paths and floors are covered with marble or mosaic.

The exposition is dedicated to the fashion designer, but there are also temporary exhibitions. The cafe nearby resembles Saint Laurent's workshop in design.

The cemetery itself is remote from tourist routes. It is easy to miss it: a high wall separates the territory from the road. The caretakers let those interested into the cemetery without any problems, but it is necessary to observe some norms of behavior when examining old tombstones.

The first railway station was built on this site in 1923. In 2008, a new building was opened nearby, just opposite the Royal Palace.
