Marrakech is Africa’s only city to make it to the Lonely Planet Top 10 List. The international marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle trumped the list, however in 2018 Marrakech was ranked 8th, dethroning Paris. With its colorful souks, historic mosques, majestic palaces, opulent gardens, and the famous Jemma el Fnaa square Marrakech should be on everyone’s bucket list. An additional highlight of visiting Marrakech is witnessing the recent renovation of the 14th century Ben Youseff Madarasa and the new Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture Museum and bookshop at the Majorelle.
