    Construction of the El Badi Palace was ordered by the Saadien Ahmed el Mansour in 1578 and was not yet completed upon his death in 1603. The most precious materials that could be located were purchased for its creation, all the way to China. There is a beautiful view of Marrakech from the terraces.

    I found El Badi Palace quite interesting, although there's not much of it left - only the outer walls, in fact. But - because of its vast size, it can still igve you an idea of how magnificent the palace would have been. This palace was built by the Saadian king Ahmed el-Mansour in 1578, whose tomb you can visit nearby.

    The original building (which was built between 1578-1594) consisted of 360 rooms, a 135 m by 110 m courtyard and also a 90 m by 20 m pool - all richly decorated, of course. In what would have been the courtyard you can now see a large orange grove - so your visit will be a very perfumed one.

    Sadly this palace was destroyed by the Sultan Mawlay Ismail, who took away the best materials and decorations to ornate his own palace in Meknes.

    We went to El Badi Palace when it was sunset and the palace was already closed, so we didn't visit it.
