This is a museum and a garden created by French artist Jaques Majorelle over 100 years ago. The building fell into a state of disrepair until it was purchased by Yves Saint Laurent and his partner in the 1980\u2019s and given a new lease of life. It\u2019s a beautiful place to visit.<\/p>\n

The Medina in Marrakech is a maze of souks and stalls but there are several popular ones that we would recommend visiting:<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#577590″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”50px||25px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
The Koutoubia Mosque is a standout landmark in Marrakech. It was built during the 12th\u00a0century by the Almohad Dynasty and stands at 70m high. It\u2019s the highest structure and the largest mosque in Marrakech. Local laws restrict any new building projects from exceeding the height of the minaret. Non-Muslims cannot enter, but it is visible from many miles away dominating the city skyline. <\/p>\n

This is an ornate mausoleum with beautiful, landscaped gardens. It is the final resting place of Saadian Sultan Ahmed al Mansour ed-Dahbi and nearly 200 of his associates and family. It\u2019s a fantastic escape from the madness of the souks and features Italian marble, pure gold gilding and intricate mosaic tiling.<\/p>\n
