In Marrakech, your first stop is the 12th-century Koutoubia Minaret, a stunning Moorish monument. Continue to Dar El Bacha Museum, the former residence of Thami El Glaoui, known as the “Lord of the Atlas.” This luxurious palace features elaborate decorations, painted walls, cedar paneling, and Andalusian-style zelliges, now home to a modern museum and a planned international collection by Patty Cadby Birch, a dedicated Marrakech lover.  

Next, visit Bahia Palace, a beautiful example of Arab-Andalusian architecture with marble, stucco, and mosaics, opening onto courtyards filled with fountains and greenery. Then, explore Medersa Ben Yousse, built around 1570, the largest Koranic school in the Maghreb.  

Enjoy lunch at a traditional Moroccan restaurant in the heart of the medina, then head to Jemaa el-Fna Square to mingle with street performers, snake charmers, acrobats, and water-sellers. Wander through the labyrinth of souks, especially Souk Smaine, known for textiles, clothing, and Moroccan crafts—an enchanting maze of colorful alleys and artisan stalls.  

Your day ends at Jemaa el-Fna, filled with entertainers and lively food stalls, contributing to the vibrant ambiance of Marrakech. Afterward, head to your hotel to check in, refresh, and unwind before having dinner.

In the vicinity, explore the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, crafted by Studio KO, which displays over 5,000 dresses and 15,000 haute couture accessories. The museum's modern-Moroccan architecture is adorned with vibrant shades of blue, green, red, and tangerine, and includes a library, bookshop, auditorium, and a café with a terrace that overlooks a reflection pool.
