Hello everyone , today i'm gonna give another five places in Morocco that you need to visit while exploring this beautiful country , keep in mind that i have more places to show soon as possible , have a great time reading this article and you can share it in social media if you want to :)
1) Menara Gardens
Arranged under the Almohad dynasty, Menara is a large garden planted with olive trees about 45 minutes walk from the Jamaa El Fna Square, in central Marrakech, Morocco. At the heart of this garden, a large pond at the foot of a pavilion serves as a water reservoir to irrigate crops. It is a very peaceful place, away from the bustle of the city. It is an ideal place for walks.
The basin is supplied with water through an old hydraulic system of more than 700 years, which brings water from the mountains located about 30 km from Marrakech. This basin allows irrigation of the olive grove.

2) Bahia Palace
The Bahia Palace (Palace of beautiful, shiny) is a palace of the nineteenth century from eight hectares of Marrakech in Morocco. It is a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture, one of the major monuments of the cultural heritage of the country and one of the main tourist areas in Morocco.
Between 1866 and 1867 the northern part of the vast palace of 8000 m² (the largest and most luxurious palace in Morocco of its time) is built southeast of the medina of Marrakech, close to the current royal palace, by Moroccan architect El Mekki. it is built to Moussa, chamberlain of Sultan Hassan I of Morocco.
3) Koutoubia Mosque
Koutoubia Mosque, or Mosque of the booksellers, was begun under the Berber dynasty of the Almoravids in 1120, but was substantially rebuilt from 1162 Almohad caliph under Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, and became one of the most characteristic buildings this style. Its name comes from the fact that it was in the souk manuscripts merchants.
These 17 naves, supported by many white pillars, host one of the largest prayer rooms for Muslim West (90 × 60 m) up to twenty thousand faithful. The building was restored in the spirit of the original monument in 1990, under the authority of the Moroccan Ministry of Culture.
4) Atlas mountains
The High Atlas is a Moroccan mountain range south-west facing / northeast. This channel belongs to the Atlas Mountains and more specifically, one of the three elements of the Moroccan Atlas, the other two being the Middle Atlas and Anti-Atlas.
It is the highest mountain in North Africa, sometimes called the "roof of Morocco" or the "roof of North Africa." It forms a huge barrier of about 750 kilometers in length which defines the Saharan Morocco Morocco's Atlantic and Mediterranean. It is the centerpiece of high Moroccan mountain ranges - which together cover 100,200 km2.

5) Chellah
The Chellah site was probably the oldest human agglomeration at the mouth of Bouregreg. The Phoenicians and Carthaginians, who founded several counters in Morocco, probably inhabited the banks of the Bouregreg.
The Chellah retains, however, the remains of a Roman city. Excavations have revealed the presence of an agglomeration of some importance, that of the city cited under the names of Sala by Ptolemy and Sala Colonia in the Antonine itinerary. The remains of the Decumanus Maximus, or main track were released as well as a forum, a monumental fountain, a triumphal arch, a Christian basilica, etc. The main route of Sala was followed by surveys carried towards the ancient port on the Bouregreg today silted port. Thus, the Roman city exceeded the enclosure mérinide towards the river..
