Visit MARRAKESH with guide ( monuments and gardens )
Bahia Palace - The Bahia Palace, meaning brilliance in Arabic, is perhaps one of the best-preserved historical sites and certainly most interesting in Marrakech. Built between 1866 and 1867 by Si Moussa, this sprawling palace is set over two acres in the middle of the Marrakech medina and features 150 rooms, including a harem section located just off the sun-filled Court of Honour. Having housed the Resident General during the French Protectorate era, today the Bahia Palace is a must-see historical museum open to the public daily and has previously hosted events such as the Marrakech Biennale.(visit with guide)

Jardin Majorelle - The garden covers nearly two and a half acres. Collections of cacti, exotic plants and trees are landscaped to emphasize each one’s unique beauty.
