Jardin Majorelle

Majorelle Garden is one of the city’s most picturesque spots thanks to its striking royal blue walls, lavish fountains, and an extensive collection of sculptures, cacti, and other exotic plants. There are several museums on its premises, most notably the Islamic Art Museum of Marrakech.

Le Jardin Secret

One of Marrakesh’s best-hidden secrets, this privately owned garden is now open to the public for a small entrance fee. It consists of a restored 19th-century old palace and traditional Islamic gardens, but you can also find a shop and café on the premises.

Menara Gardens

This botanical garden is located west of Marrakesh and the garden pavilion is its centerpiece. One of the things that make it so striking is the breathtaking views at the Atlas Mountains and the artificial lake, orchards, and olive groves that surround the pavilion.

Here are a few places that actually look like the pictures you see online.  

Burano, Italy 

The charming fishing village is about a 1-hour boat ride from Venice. As the crowds focus on the Venetian canals, you can explore this vibrant and colorful place. There you will find pink, purple, green, brown and orange houses that can serve as the perfect backdrop for all your Instagram posts. 

Marrakech, Morocco 

Bloggers are all over Marrakech and with good reason. Morocco is packed with interesting architecture, the culture is fully unique and will awake all your senses. Marrakech is unlike any other place you’ve ever visited. Although you can’t smell and taste how awesome Marrakech is, at least you can see it in a picture that does it justice.   

Santorini, Greece 

Santorini is one of those magical places that actually looks breathtaking in person too! You will need to get up very early or go out of season to avoid the crowds, but it’s definitely worth a visit. You will even find that the island is much more picturesque than it looks in the pictures.

This doesn’t mean that the souks are perfect or without potential dangers. It’s important to know how to stay safe and keep your wallet from shrinking too fast within them.

So, here are some essential tips to have a fantastic souk experience.

Don’t be Afraid to Say “No”

Souk vendors can be very aggressive. They may try to get you to buy things in a pushy, rude fashion. Don’t be afraid to refuse and say “no” if you feel uncomfortable or if you’re being hassled by one.

Forget Google Maps

The souks are truly a maze, and their complex and complicated structure aren’t handled well by Google Maps. It’s best to just feel your way through the souks and use reference points as a means of knowing how to navigate.

See Where the Locals Shop

If a store is packed with tourists and pushy sellers, you’ll want to avoid it. Instead, look for the stores and hawkers that deal with locals to know the best places to buy things.

Keep Your Possessions Close

The souks are packed with people and can be claustrophobic. Be sure to keep a close eye on your wallet and phone, because pickpockets are definitely a danger within them.

Located in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains near the center of the Moroccan territory, Marrakesh is seen as the heart of Morocco in many ways.

With a population of nearly one million, Marrakesh is a bustling hub and a place where the native Berber culture of Morocco and Arabic culture interact to form an interesting mix.

One of the best things that any visitor to Marrakesh can do is to simply walk around and get lost in the sights, sounds, and overwhelming smell that it presents to visitors.

Much of the center of Marrakesh is composed of souks, narrow, winding streets and alleyways in which merchants hawk cheap goods aggressively and at a good price. You can find truly anything in the souks, from spices to clothing to lamps.

The central hub of Marrakesh is the Jena el-Fnaa Square in the center of the Medina. Here is where the largest concentration of vendors sell their goods and street musicians try to earn a buck.

Visitors to Marrakesh also must visit the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque and its beautiful minaret tower. Although non-Muslims cannot enter, anyone can admire its beauty from the outside. It’s a beautiful symbol of Marrakesh, and the cherry on top of any visit to the city.
