Marrakech

The ancient city of Marrakech is a maze of alleyways and palaces, a thousand-year-old metropolis of art and culture. The temperature rises in the summer months, with average highs hovering around 100 degrees, but it's still worth a trip. After all, the city's souks are stocked with colorful carpets, handwoven blankets, carved boxes, leather slippers and much more. There's also the Koutoubia Mosque and Ben Youssef Madrasa, the popular Jemaa el-Fna Square and the Majorelle Garden.

The Bahia Palace, located in the southern area of the city, showcases an impressively vast and intricately designed structure with around 160 rooms and courtyards sprawling over eight acres of gardens. In contrast to the imposing Badi Palace nearby, the Bahia Palace exudes a subtle grandeur without boasting at its gate. Its name "brilliance" in Arabic is aptly fitting for its beautiful courtyards adorned with fragrant plants, stunning mosaic works, and elaborate carved columns.
