There are also a number of historical sites at Marrakech including the Koutoubia Mosque, the Bahia Palace, the El Badi Palace and the Saadian Tombs.

Between Palm Groves and Marrakech, the modern district of Gueliz is far more westernised than the old quarter. Here you will find upmarket coffee shops, international fast food chains, designer boutiques and high street names.
