Adorned with intricate tilework, marble, and calligraphy, the mausoleum reveals the grandeur and prestige of the Saadian Empire. Jewish Heritage & the Mellah Discover a lesser-known part of Moroccan history as you explore the Jewish Quarter (Mellah). Learn about the ancient Jewish communities that once thrived in Marrakech and their enduring cultural legacy dating back to the time of King Solomon. Bahia Palace Continue to the Bahia Palace built by Grand Viziers Si Musa and Ba Ahmed in the late-19th century, a masterpiece of 19th-century Moroccan architecture. Wander through its lush gardens and mosaic-tiled rooms, and uncover dramatic tales of power, polygamy, and courtly life during the rule of Grand Vizier Si Moussa. Old Medina Walking Tour Experience As you stroll through the vibrant narrow streets of the Medina, you’ll find yourself immersed in an ancient tale, moving from one chapter to the next.
