Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Great little peaceful spot away from the hectic Medina area.
    Lovely gardens and stunning house, the colours are incredible and very vibrant.
    Pretty small, so you only need around 30 minutes to walk around. Worth a visit if you have a bit of spare time while visiting,

    What a crazy place! So easy to get turned around! But what colour, what excitement, what hustle and bustle. Lots to see and shopping is easy if you wish, but I kept my wallet well hidden. Can't believe the crowds and the motorcycles driving through the people. Strange to a Canadian but an absolute must visit place.

    Cultural and interesting experience learning about Moroccan history.

    Tickets wise — they are 100 dirihams and are cash only. You can’t pre book and have to queue when you get there. At about 11am when we visited, the queue was no longer than 5 minutes. When we left at midday, it was even shorter.

    The place is rammed full of tourists and tour groups, making pictures hard work but didn’t nullify the beauty within. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit, even with one of the quadrangles being under reconstruction following a previous earthquake.

    Overall, give it a go!

    Worth 2 separate visits as daytime here is different to the night times. In the daytime, there are musicians, snake charmers, fruit sellers and other stalls all vying for your business, all the while cars and scooters are driving through the square and not on a dedicated road! At night time, the square turns into the night market which includes dozens at pop-up restaurants and cafes, more musicians, story tellers and performers. It’s an exciting, chaotic place to visit and you will probably pass through here multiple times when visiting the Souks and they start from here.

    I appreciate how nicely reconstructed the building is. You will learn about how much work it was from a video played on a screen in one of the exposition rooms.
    An entrance ticket to this museum is also not as expensive as at some other museums/touristic places in Marrakesh.

    We went late morning and although it was January it was busy. Unusual plants and tress and a very old interesting building. We just wandered round ourselves. Didn’t do the tower and there was a lengthy queue for one of the rooms so we couldn’t wait as tight for time. Overall an enjoyable visit and not expensive

    This iconic mosque is centrally located in Marakesh. Beautiful architecture and plaza around it. Very interesting.
    You can visit inside too.

    Under restoration while we were there. Provides a glimpe into the grandeur of the palace. Some good info on archeology efforts in the area. Some neat historical pictures. It was fine visiting, probably wouldn't need to return if we visit Marakech again.

    Firstly, these gardens are 45 minutes from Marrakech so IF you prebook your tickets AND also prebook the free shuttle bus (some people didn’t realise they had to do this separately – it is on their website) it’s absolutely worth the trip; you can also visit of your own accord if you have a car. The gardens are large, almost oasis like, lush and filled with a wide range of palms, cactuses, banana trees and so much more. Amongst the gardens are various art pieces by Andre Heller, a large pond, a café with good toilets and a lovely gift shop, and behind the café is also a beautiful tent to sit in if you want some shade.. The gardens also have lots of chairs dotted around, a couple of hammocks and a Berber tent to chill out in so relax! It’s a beautiful change from the chaos of Marrakech.
    Tip: If it’s a clear day, go on the terrace above the café and you’ll have a stunning view of the Atlas mountains.

    We really enjoyed the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. There are lots of displays and informative information and also a couple of videos to watch. I would definitely recommend a visit.

    Amazing photographs showing the history of Marrakech and beyond. Lots of stairs but well worth making it to the top floor to see the exhibit there. There is a rooftop coffee shop with a fantastic view of the city.

    If staying for two or more days in Marrakech this is a neighborhood that you will visit. It's more European style with clothes stores, restaurants, clubs, etc. Depends what you are looking for.
