Palais Bahia, which means brilliance in Arabic, is perhaps one of the best preserved and certainly the most interesting historical sites in Marrakech. Built between 1866 and 1867 by Si Moussa, this sprawling palace spans two hectares in the middle of Marrakech's medina and has 150 rooms, including a harem located just off the sunny main courtyard. Having housed the Resident General during the time of the French Protectorate, the Bahia Palace is today an unmissable historical museum open to the public daily and has already hosted events such as the Marrakech Biennale.

Hidden from the world for around 200 years, the Saadian Tombs were discovered a short distance from the bustling city center of Marrakech and are a true architectural gem. Home to two sumptuous mausoleums with around 60 tombs and over 100 more in the beautiful gardens
