BUCKET LIST


SAADIAN TOMBS 16th-century Saadian Tombs, where Sultan al-Mansour spared no expense decorating his mausoleum with imported Italian Carrara marble and a gilded honeycomb muqarnas ceiling that still dazzles those who look upon it. The entrance to the tombs is unmarked and hard to spot.


BADI PALACE Al-Mansour’s once magnificent Badi Palace (Ksibat Nhass) with impressive views of the city from its ramparts. Don’t scrimp on your ticket to view the Koutoubia’s original minbar (prayer pulpit).


BAHIA PALACE A vast, gorgeously decorated palace once owned by slave-turned-vizier Abu ‘Bou’ Ahmed. Allow plenty of time to enjoy the different spaces, the most impressive of which are the quarters of Bou Ahmed’s favourite concubine, Lalla Zineb.


BERBER MUSEUM The museum, which is devoted to one of the oldest peoples in North Africa, provides an overview of the Berbers’ extraordinary creativity. Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent’s collection of over 600 objects from the region extending from the Rif to the Sahara.


EAT & DRINK


AL FASSIA GUELIZ Located in the heart of Gueliz, the western inspired district where the traditional meets the modern. Al Fassia Gueliz is renowned for its intimacy but also for the quality and refinement of its cuisine. You’ll sample typical and varied Moroccan cuisine with unique flavours.


LE 68 For late-night drinks and an arty intellectual vibe. This wine bar with a festive atmosphere offers several hundred references of wines from all over the world. An industrial and subdued atmosphere with a barrel as a stool, lights in wine bottles and comfortable benches, the tone is set. A la carte, French cuisine with a good franquette with tartiflette or well filled sandwiches.


GRAND CAFÉ DE LA POSTE As the sun sets, follow the crowd to the terrace of the Grand Café de la Poste for a glass of rosé on its chic, secluded terrace or beneath the slow-moving fans in its beautiful bistro-style interior. Often compared to Rick’s Café Americain, Le Grand Cafe de la Poste is as much Miami Beach as it is Casablanca, with art deco motifs palm fronds and beamed ceilings giving a roaring twenties vibe.


LA FAMILLE The lunchtime venue situated in an absolutely delightful, rustic and charming Mediterranean influenced garden. Serving a simple menu that changes daily. Everything is absolutely delicious and creatively presented.


Marrakech “Marrakech” comes


from the Arabic words, murra kish, which mean to “pass by quickly”. Apparently, this phrase was created to warn those who travelled to


Morocco to watch out for thieves and wild animals in the city.
