2- The place JEMAA EL FNA
Jemaa el Fna square is the beating heart of the city. Listed by UNESCO as an Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, it owes its celebrity to its space, its frequentation, and its atmosphere.

6- The souks (markets)
To get an idea of the richness of the Marrakchi crafts and to give you an idea of the craftsmanship of its craftsmen, nothing beats a stroll in the souks of the medina, among the most famous of Morocco for their diversity and the extremely alive that reigns there.
These souks are organized in guilds: souk Cherratine for leather goods, Zrabi for carpets, Fekharine for pottery, Sebbaghine for dyers, Seffarine for brass ...
7- The Majorelle garden
This enchanting site was created by the French painter Jacques Majorelle who settled there in 1922.
It is a symphony of lights and colors, flowers and exotic vegetation, songs of birds and jets of water. The artist painted the walls of his Art Deco villa and the ultramarine blue garden, both intense and luminous. This blue garden in the pink city surprised many. This is the blue sky of Marrakech!
