Jardin Majorelle

Jardin Majorelle was once a private villa built by French artist Jacques Majorelle, and was later purchased by French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, who lived there for several years. It is now open as a popular attraction in Marrakech, with rare plants throughout the garden and fountains and pools interwoven in a scattered layout. At the center of the garden stands a Cubist-style villa, whose exterior walls are painted in the intense ultramarine blue that Majorelle created in 1937—"Majorelle blue"—a signature color that has since become the visual calling card of the entire garden. Strolling through the garden, the lush green vegetation forms a striking contrast with the deep blue buildings, and sunlight casts dappled shadows on the paths through the bamboo groves and palms, making it one of the most recognizable landmarks in Marrakech.

Hassan II Mosque

The Hassan II Mosque is located on the Atlantic coast of Casablanca and was completed in 1993. It is one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslim travelers. A significant portion of the mosque extends over the sea, allowing worshippers to pray facing the ocean—a design inspired by the Quranic imagery of "the throne upon the water." Standing beside the mosque is its approx. 210 m tall minaret, topped with a laser beam pointing toward Mecca, visible from many parts of the city and even the sea. The mosque can accommodate over 100,000 worshippers simultaneously, both inside and outside, ranking among the largest in the world. Visitors must join guided tours to explore the mosque, which includes access to the prayer hall—a rare opportunity. The hall features polished marble floors, cedar wood carvings from the Middle Atlas Mountains, hand-cut glazed mosaics, and smooth plaster walls, all illuminated by Murano glass chandeliers. The central roof can open, allowing the hall to bask in sunlight on clear days. Outside, the seaside plaza and seawall offer iconic views, with white stone walls reflecting the Atlantic's blue hues and waves crashing nearby. Visitors are reminded to observe religious etiquette: shoes must be removed before entering, shoulders and knees should be covered, and women are advised to cover their hair (scarves are often available at the entrance). Photography is permitted during tours, but avoid pointing cameras at worshippers. In the morning, sunlight streams into the hall, highlighting the intricate mosaics and stonework. At dusk, the minaret framed against the sunset is a quintessential image of Casablanca.
