Marrakesh

Marrakesh is located in southern Morocco and is known as the "Red City" due to the ochre-red earth used in most of its architecture. The heart of the city is the Medina, a World Heritage site densely packed with winding alleys and open-air markets. Souk Semmarine is one of the larger markets in the old city, offering everything from handmade carpets and leather goods to spices and copper lamps. Wandering through it is a cultural experience in itself. The center of the old city is Jemaa el-Fnaa. During the day, the square is filled with fruit juice stalls and handicraft booths, while at night it transforms into an open-air food street where snake charmers, storytellers, and traditional musicians take turns performing. Near the square stands the 12th-century Koutoubia. Its towering minaret is the city's landmark, and the gardens surrounding the mosque are also worth a visit. Bahia Palace showcases the craftsmanship of traditional Moroccan architecture, with its exquisite courtyards, carved wooden doors, and inlaid tiles. Outside the old city, the Majorelle Garden is famous for its unique "Majorelle Blue" architecture and exotic plants. It was created by French painter Jacques Majorelle and later restored and preserved by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. At sunset, find a rooftop café in the old city, order a pot of mint tea, and watch the sunset cast an even richer glow on the ochre-red walls—this is one of the quintessential Marrakesh experiences.

Bahia Palace is a well-preserved 19th-century palace complex in Morocco. Construction began in the 1860s under the direction of Si Moussa, a grand vizier to the Sultan of Morocco, and was later significantly expanded by his son, Ba Ahmed, between 1894 and 1900. "Bahia" means "brilliant" in Arabic and is said to be the name of one of Ba Ahmed's favorite wives. The entire palace covers nearly two hectares, with approximately 150 rooms arranged around multiple courtyards and interior gardens, creating a maze-like layout due to its phased expansion. The grand courtyard is paved with Italian Carrara marble and surrounded by painted wooden colonnades, with dozens of rooms nearby believed to have been the living quarters for Ba Ahmed's harem. The grand hall at the east end of the courtyard features the palace's most impressive painted cedar wood ceiling. The large garden on the north side is the oldest part of the palace and still retains trees planted in the 19th century. The palace's decoration embodies the essence of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship: walls are adorned with plaster reliefs carved with Arabic inscriptions, geometric patterns, and floral vines; floors are paved with hand-cut, colorful glazed mosaic tiles; and ceilings are decorated with painted cedar wood patterns. The materials used in its construction were brought from all over Morocco—marble from Meknes, cedar wood from the Middle Atlas Mountains, and tiles from Tetouan—and were completed through the collaboration of artisans from across the country.

马洛雷勒花园真是一个不可多得的绿洲,它为心灵带来了无比的滋养。漫步在这片绿意盎然的地方,每一处景致都令人心旷神怡。这里的宁静与美丽,让我感受到了自然的温柔拥抱。无论是精心修剪的花坛,还是蜿蜒的小径,都让人流连忘返。这里是都市喧嚣中的一片静谧,绝对值得一游。

Djemaa dl Fna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Grand Bazaar of the Old City; the Grand Bazaar of the Old City has thousands of shops selling all kinds of handicrafts, and skilled craftsmen everywhere make fine products. Wood products, leather products, iron products, metal products, as well as ceramics, wool, sheepskin lamps, olives and the most famous Moroccan slippers, etc., are a shopper's paradise; Djema Square is even more lively, and the square is the horse racing The epitome of the people's life in Lakash, there are also various street performances such as acrobatics, belly dancing, fire eaters, snake charmers, monkey dancers, etc.

After landing, I headed straight to the square. Hundreds of food stalls sold grilled meats, roasted chicken, and unique fried rice. There were also fruits, vegetables, and stews. There was also traditional Moroccan spicy hot pot. A thick, fragrant smoke filled the square.

This has been my favorite tourist destination in Marrakech. More peaceful than the YSL garden and good place to learn about the history and traditional decorating styles of Morocco

Five years ago, when I was on a business trip to Morocco, I had some free time and went with friends for 1-2 days. The night view was great and the local food was good at a low price at the night market.

This is a well curated exhibition that captures the inspiration and fashion of the man (Yves Saint Laurent). My teenage sons were engrossed in the exhibits related to him. We sat for quite a while near the fountain, wishing we could walk away with some pieces!

El Badi Palace is the best preserved palace open to the public in Morocco. Its gardens, fountains, atriums, and magnificent rooms in particular will fascinate visitors and make them linger.

This garden is hidden in the old town. It is quiet in the bustling city. It is really a "secret garden" as its name suggests. It is a quiet and elegant garden. Although it is not as big as YSL, there are few tourists. There is no rush to check in at the attractions in YSL. Instead, you can slow down and enjoy it slowly.

Marrakech is the largest city in southern Morocco. The ancient city here is also the largest market in Africa. The currency here is the dirham. In fact, riding a hot air balloon is really romantic. From the top, it seems that the world is at your feet, and the scenery here is beautiful.

It should be the only free park in Marrakech, of course the small building inside is charged separately. It is packaged with the ancient city and Djemaa El Fna Square to apply for World Heritage status. In fact, it is a large suburban park where locals picnic and relax.
