Sleeping

Without a doubt, the Mamounia Palace! Garden, pool, sumptuous suite, service.

​

​

Eating

Try the Brasserie Française at the Royal Mansour. Try the Burgundy specialty gougère with cheese.

​

Looking

Definitely the magical end-of-year decor at the Royal Mansour: pink peacocks and more roses and pink, all bathed in the scent of roses.

​

​

Gardening

Of course, the Majorelle Gardens: rare species, not too crowded, reserve your time slot.  

 

Fashion

Obviously the Saint Laurent museum. Perfect scenography for timeless, must-see pieces. Some interesting drawings.

​

​​

Cafeteria

Shams The one in the museum, of course! Perfect service and a soothing atmosphere.

​

Museum

The one dedicated to jewelry (MAP) is really worth a visit: extraordinary jewelry, headdresses, the whole range of jewelry from Morocco to Arabia.

​​

​

Dining

Restaurant Bacha (near the Musée des Confluences). Come nightfall, dine on a bed of rose petals. Delicious pastilla!

​

​

Shopping

A visit to the souks is a must and very interesting. I enjoyed finding authentic crafts there, especially the pottery.

​

​​

Tourism

Don't turn your nose up at a little carriage ride, even if it's not the best thing for the horses!

​

Fashionista

Maison ARTC will delight you with its authentic, chic, and inventive handmade creations. Prices are in euros, not dirhams (chic and shocking). 

​​

​

Charming

Chonchon et Chocolat! Absolutely charming decor! A touch of Matisse! Lovely welcome! Pastries and some homemade clothing that are quite interesting and very affordable.

​

​

Palaces

The Bahia Palace is sumptuous (19th century) and the El Badi Palace is definitely worth a visit (16th century).

​

Contemporary art

The MACAAL has just reopened! So now is the time to go. 

​​

​

Recovering

Why not try a hammam! The Ziani is renowned for its cleanliness and decor.
