    The Mallorelle Garden is a rare oasis that nourishes the mind. Walking around this green place, every scene is refreshing. The tranquility and beauty of the place makes me feel the gentle embrace of nature. Whether it is carefully trimmed flower beds or winding paths, it is a place of tranquility in the hustle and bustle of the city, it is definitely worth a visit.

    Marrakech has an international airport, making it a great stop on a Moroccan itinerary or a place to stay to savor the city. In contrast to Casablanca's predominantly white, Marrakech's architecture is mostly earthy red, giving it a distinct desert feel. The Mövenpick Hotel & Residence Hajar Tower Makkah in the city center is a city resort with a swimming pool and playground, where peacocks, chickens, ducks, and rabbits roam peacefully, creating a harmonious atmosphere between humans and nature. You could easily stay a week there without getting bored. The renowned Majorelle Gardens, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, and the Papal Museum are among Marrakech's most popular attractions. All three are located in one area. The gardens are filled with magnificent plants, cacti, and flowers. The entrance can be a bit crowded, with wait times of 15-20 minutes. Tickets must be purchased online three days in advance to ensure entry. You can purchase a combined ticket that includes three attractions: the YSL Museum, the Majorelle Gardens, and the small but informative Berber Museum within the gardens. A visit to all three takes at least three hours. The cuisine at Riad Monceau in the heart of the old town is unforgettable. The souks in the old town are a favorite for women, with a dazzling array of jewelry and handicrafts, and mouth-watering snacks. Marrakech requires at least three days! Seven days gives you plenty to brag about with your friends.

    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

    It's quite lively and worth a visit. You can find the authentic cellar roasted lamb, sit in the highest seat to eat the lamb, enjoy the sunset, and look down at the sleepless square with lights just coming on. It's comfortable!

    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!

    The sea was blue, sunny and windy, not our traditional beach with black rocks. Many seagulls were flying around us, not afraid of people at all. Look carefully, there are two kinds of seagulls. Many people were fishing on the beach.

    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.
