- Koutoubia Mosque - visit to the Koutoubia minaret, the tallest in Marrakech. Within the city walls, no building is allowed to be taller than the Koutoubia. The minaret is part of the largest mosque in Marrakech, which was completed in 1199.
- Saadian Tombs - The Saadian Tombs are a historic royal necropolis in Marrakech, Morocco. They date to the time of the Saadian dynasty, and in particular to the reign of Ahmad al-Mansur (1578–1603). They are located on the south side of the Kasbah Mosque, inside the royal kasbah (citadel) district of the city. The tombs have, because of the beauty of their decoration, been a major attraction for visitors of Marrakech.
- Bahia Palace - Bahia Palace, a late 19th-century palace built for the grand vizier and named for his favorite wife. The rooms, set in a 2-acre garden, include the rooms which housed his harem, an often political position.
- Kasbah Mosque - The Kasbah Mosque (also: Mansouria Mosque or Mosque of Moulay al-Yazid) of Marrakech is a Friday Mosque originally built by the Almohad caliph Yaqub al-Mansour in 1185-1190 CE. It is located in the old kasbah of Marrakech, the citadel or royal district. Along with the Koutoubia Mosque, it is one of the most important historical mosques in Marrakech.
- Jemaa el-Fnaa - You will have walk to explore Jemaa el Fna, the primary square in the medina and a UNESCO world heritage site. Though now filled with street performers, snake charmers, merchants, and orange juice stalls, when it was created in 1050, it was used for public executions, perhaps leading to its name which can be translated as “assembly of death”.
- Medina of Marrakesh - Head into the souks surrounding Jemaa el Fna and make stop at a Berber Apothecary shop, learning of the medicinal uses of many of the common spices and herbs that are still used across Morocco to treat common illnesses. While it’s not as picturesque as the heaps of spices you find in the market, it is far more informative. Then visit the several workshops including shoemakers and bakers.
- Ben Youssef Madrasa - The Madrassa is an old Islamic school, and Ben Youssef one is the largest in the Maghreb region. In this historical site you’ll see the beautiful Moroccan architecture, from the Zellij tiles to the plaster and sttuco carvings and calligraphy as well as the beautiful Cedar wood works on the arch’s and ceilings of the site.
