Marrakesh is not thought of as a "history" city as much as it is a gold mine of aesthetically pleasing sites. However, history can be found at every corner around the old city - called the Medina. If you're looking for a great guide to the historic sites of Marrakesh's old city! A few notes about this guide - the sites at the top start at the southern end of the Medina and work their way north. Additionally, there is a good mix of preserved sites and restored site - the Moroccan government and other private institutions have restored some sites to their full glory. While it may seem less "historically accurate", these preserved sites are just as worthwhile to visit. NOTE: I cannot verify sites will not be closed due to the earthquake. I have added some links to donate to charities assisting relief efforts in Morocco below.

Dazzling, diverse, cultural, aesthetic, bustling. Those are just a few words to describe the country of Morocco.

Marrakech feels like stepping into a vibrant storybook. The city is alive with colors, sounds, and scents that overwhelm the senses in the best way 💙 What I love most is the contrast: the lively markets full of energy and the serene courtyards offering peaceful retreats. The warm, earthy colors and intoxicating smells of spices and leather linger in your memory ⚜️ Marrakech isn’t just a place; it’s an experience. It’s a city that seeps into your soul, leaving you with vivid memories and a longing to return. It’s real, raw, and beautifully imperfect 🧿
