A curated journey through the experience
Medina of Marrakesh
Marrakech enjoys a legend status, which conveys the ideas of mystery, sensuality, and exoticism. Its influence and fame have been so strong and intense in the history of Morocco, that as a matter of fact the country was named after the city.
1 hourKoutoubia Mosque
Highlights of your visit will include: The Koutoubia Mosque Built by the Almohads in the late years of 12th Century, the Koutoubia Mosque, and specially its minaret, is the most important landmark of Marrakech, and a symbol of the city itself. The minaret served as a model for the Giralda in Sevilla and the unfinished Tour Hassan in Rabat, all three being designed by the same architect. Koutoubia means ‘booksellers’, as the trade of books was concentrated in the neighborhood during the Middle Ages. The minaret of the Koutoubia, 77 meters high, is visible from almost any point of the city – an old ordinance, still in force, forbids any building of Marrakech to surpass the Koutoubia minaret in height.
1 hourSaadian Tombs
Built in the 16th Century as mausoleums for some Saadian rulers and their families, the Saadian Tombs were unknown of until they were discovered by the French in 1917 thanks to aerial photographs. The site comprises more than one hundred graves, distributed in 3 mausoleums whose decoration exemplifies Islamic architecture with floral motifs, calligraphy, zellij and carrara marble, and finely worked cedar wood and stucco. Outside the buildings are a garden and the graves of soldiers and servants.
1 hourPalacio da Bahia
Built in the late 19th Century, and decorated by the best artisans of Morocco at the time, this palace – intended to be the most magnificent of its age – features an exquisite blend of Andalusian and Moorish styles. Specially interesting are the harem apartments, the trapezoidal garden, and a huge tiled courtyard with fountains.
1 hourJemaa el-Fnaa
Day 2: Gardens tour- Pottery workshop
1 minuteMusee Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech
Yves Saint Laurent in his beloved Marrakech The magical Majorelle Gardens are adjacent to the Villa Oasis and are certainly worth a visit. Acquired in 1922 by the French painter Jacques Majorelle and later bought and developed by YSL and Bergé, the gardens are home to bougainvillea, coconut, banana and palm trees, as well as rare and exotic plants, some of which have strange and menacing forms. Once inside the garden walls, you would never think you were in the heart of a busy city. Here you can also stop at the excellent Berber Museum that was the former studio of painter Jacques Majorelle. This tiny museum features absolute gems from YSL’s private collection, in particular its room of stunning Berber jewelry in a magnificent display. There is also an excellent café in the gardens where you can enjoy a drink or snack, and both a gift shop and bookshop selling Yves St Laurent inspired treasures and publications. Do not miss the newly opened and dramatic
1 hourJardin Majorelle
Yves Saint Laurent exhibiting creative masterpieces of couture, accessories, sketches and photographs that span the late designer’s 40- year career, from 1962 until his retirement in 2002. Designed by Studio KO, the building sits a short distance away from Jardin Majorelle – the home acquired by Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1980. With a large permanent exhibition space designed by scenography’s Christophe Martin, showcasing the collections of its namesake, the museum also features temporary exhibition spaces, a research library and archives, an auditorium, bookstore, and a terrace café
