Things to do in Marrakech, Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz Region: The Best Museums
The “Red City” of Marrakesh is a magical place, brimming with markets, gardens, palaces, and mosques. Exploring the intimate courtyards and snaking alleyways of the historic Medina can easily eat up a day. Find inner peace at the serene Jardin Majorelle or take in the beauty of one of the city’s historic mosques (taking note that, unless you are Muslim, you are not allowed to enter).

Beautiful introduction to reading a bit of the night sky, and pretty amazing to see a bit of the cosmos with their telescope. The resident astronomer - Mohammed Sabil is amazing.

The beautifully restored tiled walls alone make this gem of a museum worth a visit; add to that the performance of traditional music, the intriguing photos and instruments on display, the highly informative mini lecture provided by the patron, and finally hot mint tea under the stars on the roof, and the whole experience is delightful.

Found this beautiful place on trip advisor while travelling to Merzouga. We were looking for somewhere to go and have lunch before heading to the desert. Don’t regret finding la maison Bouchrafine. It was a simple but delicious lunch. And the place is so nice. Shame we didn’t have our swimming wear to enjoy the pool after lunch.
