What to do and see in Marrakech, Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz Region: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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).

This was one of the most interesting squares of Marrakech Medina. It’s French name is Place des Épices because it has many apothecaries in it. It used to be a grain market in it’s heydays. Besides cosmetics, oils and spices you can find weird stuff like dried leeches and scorpions, zebra skins, live chameleons and turtles, tusks and strange twigs. Most of these are used sihacen, or black magic. You can find shop’s selling local Viagra, bizarre potions, and age old herbal remedies. There are basket stalls and Amazigh hat shops located here too.

A very efficient and clean station with helpful staff, signage in English and Arabic, good public toilets and a coffee shop if you have to wait a while. Make sure you buy your tickets a day or two before you travel so you secure a seat, otherwise you might miss out as the trains get very full.

This is one of the streets leading into the Medina, off Rue dar el Glaoui by the guest Palace. We have seen the King's camels hobbled there once; these are magnificent animals, quite different from the ones you see and can ride on the fringes of the city. Do not try to take photos of the Palace guards, the Brigade they are not, as you will very quickly fall foul of the Palace police. The street has everything along it, museum, wonderful restaurants and hotels, most of the larger ones serve alcohol, street cafés, stalls and a range of shops selling everything you can think of, some the usual Medina wares, some are very upmarket boutiques including chic Moroccan clothing, antiques and jewellery, and our favourite carpet emporium is down towards the start of the Medina proper. We don't seem to get as much pressure to buy as you do once you dive into the main part of the Medina, and this is a gentle introduction to Souk shopping. The street is beginning to be developed with new rendering, more uniform shop fronts and the upmarket boutiques, although there have always been some along here, but you still have the crazy scooter riders, donkeys, locals working and cats sprawled around the parked scooters and they even have shelters and food and water by the Palace.

This place is huge. You don't realise walking up to the gates, but it really is massive. Although almost all ruins, it's really beautiful and the is very well presented. For me, this was more interesting than the Bahia Palace. Definitely worth the 70 dh entry fee.
