The Palmery

The expanse of palm groves to the north of the medina is dubbed the "Beverly Hills" of Marrakesh, a place of manicured golf courses, private villas hidden behind high walls, upmarket boutique hotels, and luxurious secret gardens. Though there are no real tourist attractions here, the area is well worth visiting to enjoy a camel ride in the oasis, a quad-bike ride along dusty tracks, or a lavish cabaret dinner. Also worth a visit is the Museum of the Palmery, showcasing contemporary Moroccan art.
