    Jewish quarter

    Posted by Fidge 11 August 2008

    Worthwhile checking out the old Jewish quarter in the Mellah area in the south of the medina. The number of Jews in the area now numbers about 260 compared to more than 15,000 at the turn of the century.

    You can see the evidence with the occasional Star of David and Hebrew lettering on buildings. There are still three active synagogues out of nearly 30. For a few coins the local kids will show you where the working synagogues are.

    Museums and palaces

    Posted by GregC 13 December 2006

    Take time away from your shopping to visit the range of museums and palaces within the Medina. We were impressed by the Musee de Marrakech, the Palais el-Badi and the Palais Bahia. Don't forget the Saadian Tombs - impressive.

    Majorelle Garden

    Posted by Azam 10 December 2006

    The botanical garden is absolutely mesmerising, as you stroll along the walkways you pass several plants and trees that are waiting to be photographed. In the middle of the garden is a fantastic ornate cobalt blue building. Also housed inside the garden is the Islamic Art Museum. But don't forget to take around 15 Dhirams with you for the entrance fee, you'll also notice that the hustle and bustle of the city suddenly disappears.
