"So much universe, and so little time" – Terry Pratchett
Like I have said before, there is so much to see and do in Marrakech! You can’t leave El Badi Palace off your list, this place is so beautiful! The name actually means ‘Palace of Wonder’ when translated from Arabic. It is located just south of the Medina and is open daily from 9 a.m.…
