Marrakesh is nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains and boasts a rich and intriguing history. This former imperial city in Morocco is a major economic center filled with iconic mosques and palaces, which speak of the richness of its culture. From afar, you will notice the Moorish minaret of Koutoubia Mosque, which dates back to the 12th century. The populated and bustling marketplaces (souks) display a wide array of traditional pottery, textiles, and jewelry. Marrakesh is densely packed, and the noisy alleys are complemented by beautiful gardens that preach tranquility. Majorelle Gardens is a lovely example.

It's an absolutely gorgeous botanical garden full of plants, cacti, and fountains. Designed by Jacques Majorelle, the gardens cover about 2.5 ac (1 ha) and offer a peaceful getaway from the bustling city. The perfect place to escape for a few hours!
