How to Spend 3 Days in Marrakesh, Morocco

"A sprawling 16th-century ruin built as an ostentatious testament to a sultan’s power that today offers a surprisingly quiet respite, with a vast courtyard, reflecting pools, four sunken gardens dotted with orange trees and rose bushes; the crumbling site is enlivened by sunbathing cats and long-necked storks that nest among the ruins." - Asia London Palomba Asia London Palomba Asia London Palomba is a trilingual Italian writer from Rome, currently based in Boston.

A well preserved ancient palace. Mosaics everywhere and makes the mind boggle how this workmanship was achievable so long ago. If you don’t like history it’s a great place to sit and relax and drink in the tranquility.

Incredible place. Struggled to find the entrance but glad we did. Water was very low and bits of scaffold but still in awe at the size and tranquility of the place. Check out the storks nests too...can't move them by ancient law! Grab a selfie at the toilet mirror...its a fab way to capture the place! Had lovely drinks and nibbles at Kosy Bar nearby too.

Great historical place to visit. Very atmospheric and evocative of the time. It would have been an amazing place to be at the time I'm sure at it's peak.

A beautiful architectural structure with an affordable entry fee for foreign tourists (100 MAD per adult). We visited in the morning when it was very quiet, which allowed us to take beautiful photos without crowds. An additional attraction is the majestic storks nesting around the walls.

Arrived in the morning and there was no wait to enter. Unfortunately, I do not know French nor Arabic so I was unable to appreciate much of the information. There was also some construction ongoing as they seemed to be preparing for an event. This is one tourist attraction I wouldn't mind skipping in Marrakech.

The entrance is located in the north at the end of Rue de Berrima street. El Badi is a ruined Palace with only a handful of descriptions. It does contain a mini museum but the inscriptions are only in French and Arabic. Still enjoyable to wonder around the massive complex that was modeled after Alhambra in Spain. The only historical site in the city that I felt worth paying the $10 (100DH) to see.

The most amiable place to visit in Marrakech. 500 yes of history, amazing indoor and outdoor monument, all makes you can’t help staying longer. A much much better and relaxing vibe here compared with the luxurious YSL garden and overcrowded Bahia Palace. If I only got a half day in Marrakech, this is my only choice.

This palace is very interesting though very hot in the open. The interpretation is in Arab, French and English in some places but only in Arabic and French for much of it.
