Neighborhoods in Marrakesh

The royal district encompassing the Royal Palace, Saadian Tombs, El Badi Palace ruins, and Kasbah Mosque. Quieter than the central medina, with wide streets and high walls.

Marrakesh's historic Jewish quarter, established in 1558. Distinguished by wooden balconied houses, it contains a synagogue, Jewish cemetery, and the city's spice market.

The medina's most stylish neighbourhood, centred around the 16th-century Mouassine Mosque. Narrow streets lined with boutique riads, concept stores, and artisan workshops.

The Medina of Marrakesh is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest traditional urban centres in the Muslim world. Its labyrinthine alleys, souks, palaces, and riads form an unbroken urban fabric since the 11th century.

Marrakesh's modern new town, built during the French Protectorate from 1913. Wide boulevards, Art Deco buildings, pavement cafés, and contemporary art galleries contrast with the medieval medina.
