See a 19th-century palace that was built to be the most magnificent of its time. El Bahia Palace is set around two acres of garden with rooms opening onto courtyards. The 150-room El Bahia, “The Beautiful,” consists of gilded, inlaid woodwork ceilings in the Grand Court and a harem with its original woven-silk panels, stained-glass windows and ceilings painted with rose bouquets.
It is said that the tower of this mosque is to Marrakesh what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, and once you lay eyes upon it, you'll understand why. Located in the medina, or old town, of Marrakesh, it rises over 250 feet above the city. Designed in a traditional Almohad style, it is constructed of sandstone and adorned with gilded copper orbs, a decoration unique to Morocco. At night, it’s beautifully illuminated and offers exquisite views of the city.
