The Big Six Sights

Koutoubia

These are Marrakesh's top six absolute must-sees that every visitor should be sure not to miss:

  • The Jemaa el Fna: the square full of performers at the heart of the city, which comes to life in the evening
  • The Koutoubia Minaret‎: the perfectly proportioned prototype for all Moroccan minarets, floodlit in the evening
  • The Majorelle Garden: stunningly beautiful garden created by artist Jacques Majorelle and revived by fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent
  • The Ben Youssef Medersa: Koranic school with some of the finest Islamic art in Marrakesh
  • The El Badi Palace: the amazing ruins of a huge sixteenth-century palace
