This peaceful place wait to be visited all day. Where kids have fun and you rest from the day. Enjoy reading books and sightseeing.

The Majorelle Gardens in Marrakech, Morocco is a must-visit destination for any traveler. It was the home and garden of artist Jacques Majorelle and is now a museum. The gardens are filled with plants, trees and flowers from all over the world. The colors are so vivid that it feels like you're in an enchanted forest. You likely won’t spend all day here, but an hour or so to wander the grounds will give you a nice break. Also on site is the Berber Museum. A small museum you’ll find information and artifacts about Morocco’s indigenous people, the Berber’s. Admission to the Majorelle Jardin is 70 dirham (unless you’re a Moroccan citizen or resident, then the price is 40dh) and admission to the museum an additional 30 dirham. Kids under 12 are free. Also worth noting, the garden is handicap accessible so visitors in wheelchairs will be able to easily get around. The Majorelle Gardens are open to visitors every day from 9 am to 6:30 pm. Price : 120 MAD / PAX (60 MAD under 12 years)

The palace’s architecture hints at both Andalusian and Moorish influences. It has distinct echoes of the Al Hambra, in Grenada, Spain. Gracefully rendered stucco and intricately carved cedar wood ceilings are juxtaposed against ornate mosaics and decorative arabesques. An exquisitely landscaped garden trails through the centre of the complex, leading to a colossal courtyard with an entirely marble floor. Price : 70 MAD (35 MAD under 12 years)

Lunch : Whether you’re taking a stroll through one of the winding alleyways of the medina, or checking out one of the many evening food stalls in Djemaa El-Fna square, there is certainly no shortage of good food to be found in Marrakech. The colorful sights and aromas of dried spices in the souks and the plethora of fresh fruit and vegetables lining the streetsides make it clear that this city has plenty of culinary surprises waiting to be discovered. Here are the top foods you should definitely try if you’re ever in Marrakech.

Saadiene tombs : These tombs date back to the end of the sixteenth century designed by Ahmad al-Mansur and are located in a closed garden, which visitors can access through a small passageway. In the same garden you’ll see over one-hundred tombs that are beautifully decorated with coloured mosaics. The Saadian Tombs are the resting place of approximately 60 members of the Saadi dynasty. Price : 70 MAD / PAX (35 MAD under 12 years)

The Jemaa el-Fna Square is one of the main cultural spaces in Marrakesh and has become one of the symbols of the city since its foundation in the eleventh century. It represents a unique concentration of popular Moroccan cultural traditions performed through musical, religious and artistic expressions. The Jemaa el-Fna Square is a major place of cultural exchange and has enjoyed protection as part of Morocco’s artistic heritage since 1922. However, urbanization, in particular real estate speculation and the development of the road infrastructure, are seen as serious threats to the cultural space itself. While Jemaa el-Fna Square enjoys great popularity, the cultural practices may suffer acculturation, also caused by widespread tourism.
