🇲🇦 Moroccan Charm | The Ancient Capital of Marrakech
After a 3-hour drive from Casablanca Airport, we arrived in Marrakech—the "Pearl of the South" ✨. Founded in 1062 AD, this former imperial city is Morocco’s third-largest metropolis and a cultural hub of the south. 🏰 Must-Visit Attractions 1️⃣ Bahia Palace A 19th-century Moorish gem hidden in the Medina’s alleys, often called a mini Alhambra for its intricate tilework and carved cedar ceilings. 2️⃣ Jardin Majorelle (YSL Garden) 🌵💙 Iconic "Majorelle Blue" walls clash vibrantly with yellow and red accents. Home to 300+ cacti species and Yves Saint Laurent’s memorial. 3️⃣ Jemaa el-Fnaa (Night Market) 🌃 The world’s only living UNESCO-listed square, buzzing for 1,000+ years with snake charmers, storytellers, and orange-juice stalls. Pro tip: Shoot the chaos from a rooftop café at sunset! 4️⃣ Koutoubia Mosque 🕌 11th-century landmark with a "fragrant minaret" (built with spices!). Non-Muslims can admire its gardens. ⏳ Smart Itinerary Half-day circuit: Palace → Garden → Mosque → Night Market. Save the square for last: Sip mint tea, people-watch, and soak in the electric night atmosphere. #MoroccoTravel #MarrakechMagic #HiddenGems #WorldHeritage
