El Badi Palace

A good visit however perhaps lacking in proper information about certain features. The palace is exactly as pictures suggest, but despite this it is a wonderful place, and with not so many visitors you can get great photos.

El Badi Palace is such a fascinating place to visit if you’re interested in the history of Marrakech and Morocco’s older dynasties. Walking through the ruins really gives you a sense of how grand and powerful this palace once was. You can almost imagine what it looked like during the Saadian dynasty ; the scale, the courtyards, and the architecture are all incredible reminders of Morocco’s rich past. It’s a beautiful place to explore and an essential stop for anyone who loves history or to take awesome pictures!

Just about enough to see to make is an interesting visit. Large site, took a leisurely hour to wander round. Museum info is largely French and Arabic, but included some English in places. Took some imagination to envision it in its original grandeur, but there was a decent CGI model and historic narrative.

Absolutely stunning space which takes you back in time with a bit of imagination - very nice to stroll around, explore and enjoy those time resisting walls of a long gone palace. I love some good ruins, so it was the best experience for me :)

The El Badi Palace ruins were indeed quite beautiful, and the experience was generally enjoyable. However, the 100-dirham entrance fee seemed a bit high, particularly considering the relatively short time needed to explore the site. The tour began with a visit to the cellar, where photographs and information about the palace were available. Following this, one could then ascend to the rooms, which, despite being in ruins, provided excellent opportunities for taking pictures, before proceeding to the central area, where a pleasant walk could be enjoyed.

A wide place to visit but there aren't too many things to look at in details plus a part of it was been renewed. You will learn a bit about how the city wasn't a city outside of the Medina back in the days and also about the genius of the engineers who created a way to bring water underground to Morrocan cities.

Entry price 100MAD (approx 9.5€) for foreigners. If going during hot period, visit early in the morning. If you’re short of time, are a fan of decorations and need to make a choice, I suggest you go to Bahia Palace instead. However, I suggest even more trying to make space to visit this palace!

Interesting site that can be seen in under 1 hour. The tourist price of 100DH is a bit on the high end, but it is worth a visit if you are interested in history and aren’t on a tight budget or timeline.
