- The Saadi tombs recently discovered in 1917 and restored with a
decoration of great beauty.
- The Jemaa El Fna square, the main square of the city, no one knows how it came to be, but over the years it has become the heart of Marrakech and a walk through the most interesting crafts, visiting different parts of the souks, such as leather auction, tinsmiths, and boilermakers.
- Koutoubia Mosque or bookseller's mosque started under the Almoravid Berber dynasty in 1120, but was significantly modified from 1162 under the Almohad caliph Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, and became one of the most characteristic buildings of this style. Its name comes from the fact that it was an important library and there were more than 100 stalls selling books.
NB: The driver won't get into the monuments with you
