Step back in time as you wander through the immense and atmospheric ruins of El Badi Palace. Once a lavish 16th-century complex, its sunken gardens, vast courtyard, and towering pisé walls still echo the grandeur of the Saadian dynasty. You'll find a surprising sense of peace here, away from the city's hustle, with storks nesting atop the ancient ramparts. For the best experience and photos, try to visit in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat and catch the beautiful light on the red walls.
