El Badi Palace

Cover Marrakech’s Kasbah district highlights in one booking: Bahia Palace with audio guide, El Badi Palace entry with postcard, and the Saadian Tombs with audio.

Bahia Palace: Timed entry plus a multilingual digital audio guide, so you can explore the courtyards and rooms independently.

El Badi Palace: Self-paced entry to the open-air ruins, with a personalized photo postcard mailed worldwide and a digital copy to save.

Saadian Tombs: Entry plus a digital audio guide app for a self-guided route through the mausoleums and garden courtyard.

Visit all three on the same day. Your tickets are separate per site, so you can set your own pace at each stop.

Your ticket to El Badi Palace puts you inside a 16th-century royal complex that guests at its opening reportedly called the Eighth Wonder of the World, now a vast ruin of sunken gardens, towering walls, and nesting storks.

The main courtyard runs 135 metres by 110 metres, with four sunken gardens and a central reflecting pool stretching 90 metres, giving you a direct sense of the scale Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur built to intimidate foreign dignitaries.

Climb to the terraces for views across the ruins to the Koutoubia Mosque minaret, then head underground into the former storage chambers and passageways that run beneath the complex.

The site also houses the 12th-century Koutoubia minbar, a cedarwood pulpit made by artisans in Cordoba in 1137 and considered one of the finest surviving examples of Islamic woodwork.

Before you leave, choose a photo from your visit and have it made into a personalized postcard, mailed worldwide from the site, with a digital copy sent to you as well.
