For a perfect holiday in Marrakech
Quite apart from the intriguing difference in life-style you’ll see as you walk through the souk, the Medina has much else to offer. The Koranic School of the Ben Yousef Medersa dates from the 16th century.
The Bahia Palace was built as a residence for chamberlain Ba Ahmed, his four wives and twenty four concubines.
Outside the Medina, in 1920, the painter Jaques Majorelle created a remarkable tropical garden. The contrast between the lush plants and the remarkable cobalt blue walls is quite stunning.. The house was bought by Yves Saint-Laurent in 1962.
