This palace in the heart of the medina, but just inside the gate is the most peaceful garden! It's hard to appreciate from the photos, but the peaceful quiet of this spot was SUCH a welcome respite from the chaos all around. I really took my time strolling through this area to give my mind some rest.

Tourists can't go inside the current royal palace in Marrakech, but this one is nearby and sometimes houses parts of the royal family.

Tile, carvings, paintings, gardens... There was so much to explore!

There are so many styles going on! I never knew what to expect, and it was so much fun to keep getting surprised!

Just when I thought we had seen it all, we entered this massive courtyard! Don't these colors just make you feel happy?

I didn't even know until I read later that "Bahia" means "beautiful" or "brilliant." But what a fitting name, indeed! If you're planning a trip to Marrakech, definitely put it on your can't-miss list!
