Bahia Palace

If you're exploring Marrakech and need a little break from the busy souks and buzzing streets, El Bahia Palace is the perfect escape. This beautiful 19th-century palace is like stepping into a Moroccan fairytale — quiet courtyards, colorful tiles, and dreamy archways everywhere you look. ⏳️ A Bit of History (but not boring!) El Bahia means “The Brilliant”, and it definitely lives up to its name. It was built for a powerful vizier and his family (and quite a few wives), so you can imagine the luxury. The rooms are full of hand-carved details, and the gardens are so peaceful you might want to sit there all day. Why You Should Go ⁉️ • It’s super Instagrammable 📸 • You’ll get a feel for Moroccan royal life • It’s calm, cool, and shady — a real oasis in the city 📍Tips for Your Visit: • Entry is affordable (cash only) • Plan around 30–45 minutes for your visit • Early mornings = fewer tourists El Bahia isn’t about grandeur. It’s about elegance, silence, and stepping into a more peaceful Marrakech — even just for a little while.

Medina of Marrakech

🕌 A Glimpse into History Located in the heart of Marrakech’s old medina, Ben Youssef Madrasa is one of the most iconic historic monuments in Morocco. Originally founded in the 14th century and rebuilt by the Saadian dynasty in the 16th century, this Islamic college served as a major center of learning for more than 400 years. Named after the nearby Ben Youssef Mosque, the madrasa once accommodated over 900 students, who came to study religious and scientific subjects. 🎨 Architectural Beauty The madrasa is a masterpiece of Moroccan-Andalusian design. Its highlights include: ▪︎ Intricate zellij tilework ▪︎ Finely carved cedar wood ▪︎ Delicate stucco with Quranic verses ▪︎ The central courtyard, with its serene pool, offers a peaceful contrast to the modest student rooms above. 📸 Why Visit? Ben Youssef Madrasa isn’t just a historical site—it’s a living example of Morocco’s rich spiritual and artistic legacy. It offers: ▪︎ A peaceful escape from the chaotic medina ▪︎ A photographer’s dream setting, filled with symmetry and detail ▪︎ A cultural experience that connects you to centuries of Islamic scholarship 🗓️ Visitor Tips ▪︎ Best time to visit: Early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds ▪︎ Entrance fee: Usually required (check current prices before visiting) ▪︎ Duration: Allow at least 45–60 minutes to fully explore ▪︎ Location: Near the Marrakech Museum and the souks Ben Youssef Madrasa isn’t just a stop on the map—it’s a little moment of calm and beauty in the heart of the city. Trust me, you’ll remember it!
