Marrakech's sights
After a roughly 4-hour flight, you'll find yourself in a whole new world. Exploring the medina, Marrakech's old city centre, is an experience in and of itself. The Djeema El Fna square is at the bustling heart of the medina. From early in the morning till late in the evening you'll see market stalls, souvenir shops, and food tents here, while musicians, storytellers, and snake charmers provide a lively atmosphere. Many hotels that Transavia Holidays offers are in the middle of the medina, meaning you can easily get around on foot.
When wandering through the old city centre, you'll undoubtedly see the Koutoubia mosque stretching high above the rest of the buildings. This is the biggest mosque in Marrakech. Non muslims cannot enter unfortunately, but a walk around the surrounding park is definitely worth it. Want to learn more about the city's history? Check out Marrakech's various palaces. In the Bahia palace, you will feel like you are in a fairytale, while the remaining parts of the partly collapsed Badi palace will show you just how big the palace used to be.
Want to escape the city's busyness? Visit a real Moroccan garden. It will surprise you how many tranquil oases are hidden in the bustling centre. Admire the orange trees and colourful mosaics in the courtyard of the Dar El Bach city palace. Or, head on over to the Jardin Majorelle botanical garden, where you will discover unique plants.
