There is so much to see in this medieval Moroccan city, it pays to know where to go if you are exploring with limited time.
1 Bahia Palace
Start your journey at one of the city’s crowning architectural glories – a spectacular 19th-century palace once home to the wives and concubines of the Grand Vizier to the sultan. Spanning eight hectares, the 150room riad is a maze of interconnected harems, adorned with vibrant mosaics and cedarwood archways embellished with Quranic verses and Berber designs. In the courtyards, ferns, banana plants and orange trees flourish, while slender pathways lead visitors into the high-ceilinged halls. It’s worth investing in a city guide who knows the key attractions well if you’ve got limited time to explore (Abercrombie & Kent offers city break packages including a guide from $570 for three nights; abercrombiekent.co.uk). palais-bahia.com
