What should you do when you visit the Sahara? Here is a list of some of the things you should consider on your 3-day tour from Marrakech to Fes:
Visit the Medina and browse Jemaa El Fna.
No trip to Marrakech is complete without first visiting the world-famous Medina. This central location houses the bustling Jemaa El Fna market, where vendors of all kinds sell their wares. You can enjoy local cuisine, purchase handmade goods, and so much more. Visit any time, day or night, to get your trip started right.
Stroll through Majorelle Garden.
Imagine a French artist painting a garden oasis in the middle of the desert, which a famous fashion designer maintains. That is exactly what you will find when you visit the Majorelle Garden. The adjoining Berber Museum makes the trip complete with an art gallery, coffee shop, café, bookstore, and gift shop.
Witness history in Bahia and Badi Palaces.
Marrakech and the surrounding area are home to some of the most beautiful historical architecture in the East. At both Bahia and Badi Palaces, you will find beautiful structures, gorgeous artwork, and a rich history of royal patronage that is worth learning more about. You might even catch a glimpse of the royal family as they visit from time to time!
Learn Even More at the Saadian Tombs
Looking to learn more about legendary Arabic families and the history of the region? Look no further than the Saadian Tombs. This cemetery dates to the fourteenth century, when it was first used to house the remains of the Saadian dynasty. Local legend says that this lineage descends directly from the prophet Muhammad, making it a site more than worthy of adding to your list!
Kick Back in a Local Hammam
After all that walking and sightseeing, you might want some time to relax. There is no better place to do that than the popular hammams, or public baths, throughout the city. Enjoying these open-air bathing pools can take some getting used to, and while you shouldn’t go in expecting a Western spa experience, most visitors agree that attendants help to make the experience relaxing and not to be missed!
