Jemaa el-Fnaa Square

The beating heart of Marrakech comes alive at dusk with storytellers, musicians, and food stalls. Arrive before sunset, grab fresh orange juice, and let the square reveal itself as night falls.

Koutoubia Mosque & Gardens

The city's most iconic minaret anchors the skyline and the surrounding gardens offer a calm pause from the medina's energy. It's the perfect orientation point for first-time visitors.

Bahia & Badi Palaces

Step into ornate courtyards, carved cedar ceilings, and tiled salons that showcase Moroccan craftsmanship at its finest. Allow at least half a day to explore both palaces properly.

Majorelle Garden & YSL Museum

Electric-blue walls, cactus groves, and a fashion legacy make this one of Marrakech's most photogenic stops. Book tickets ahead in high season to skip the queue.

Get intentionally lost in the medina's alleyways — then duck into a riad courtyard for mint tea. TouriX can generate a walking tour that connects these highlights in the right order.
