- THE GARDEN OF MAJORELLE: created by the painter from Nancy Jacques Majorelle who lived there from 1922 till 1962, and acquired by Pierre Bergé and Yves St Laurent in 1980. In the heart of the tumult of the urban life of Marrakesh, the Majorelle garden offers its freshness and calm to the visitors.

- THE SAADIENS GRAVES: just next to the mosque AL MANSOUR (small alley to the right). Magnificent monuments, their frigidity creates the admiration. (3 main necropolis to be seen)
