About Bahia Palace

A breathtaking 19th-century palace complex with over 150 ornately decorated rooms set around lush courtyards filled with citrus and jasmine. Built by a Grand Vizier's son to be the most beautiful palace of its time. The tilework, painted ceilings, and carved plaster are extraordinary — allow at least two hours to wander.

More Culture in Marrakech

🏛️

Djemaa el-Fna

The world's greatest public square — by day a market, by night a massive open-air food court and entertainment zone. A solo traveler's dream for people-watching.

🏛️

Souk Semmarine

The grand artery of the Marrakech souks — a covered market street stretching north from Jemaa el-Fna under a reed-woven canopy. Lined with everything from hand-stitched leather babouches and hand-woven rugs to argan oil and saffron. The best place to start any souk exploration, leading deeper into the labyrinthine specialist souks beyond.

🏛️

Rahba Lakdima (Spice Square)

A small, ancient open square off Souk Semmarine overflowing with mountains of vivid spices, dried herbs, medicinal plants, and traditional apothecary items. Watch vendors weigh saffron, ras el hanout, and cumin on brass scales. The rooftop café above the square is the best vantage point over the entire souk district.
