Jemaa el-Fna is a square and market centre In Marrakech's medina neighbourhood. It is Marrakech's major plaza, utilised by both locals and visitors. Since its inception during the 11th century, the Jemaa el-Fna Square has become one of Marrakech's most important cultural sites and one of the city's trademarks. It houses a one-of-a-kind collection of popular Moroccan cultural traditions expressed in musical, religious, and artistic forms.

The Koutoubia Mosque was built in 1147, while a second version of the mosque was completely constructed around 1158, with the minaret's construction completed around 1195. The second mosque is the current construction, which is regarded as a classic and significant example of Moroccan mosque architecture. The 77-metre-tall minaret tower is adorned with various geometric arch designs and is crowned by a spire and metal orbs. It is believed that other constructions of the same age, such as Seville's Giralda and Rabat's Hassan Tower, were influenced by it. Marrakech's minaret is likewise regarded as a significant landmark and emblem.

Marrakech's Medina is a historic Islamic capital dating back to the 11th century thanks to the Almoravide and Almohade dynasties. The various landmarks of the medina's long and famous past may still be seen. The Koutoubia Mosque, with its distinctive 12th-century minaret, and the Saadian Tombs, erected in the 16th century by Sultan Ahmed al-Mansour, are two examples. With its labyrinth of alleyways, residences, souks, artisanal activities and traditional businesses, the Medina, which has been rendered vulnerable owing to demographic change, provides an amazing example of a live historic town. The Medina of Marrakech, which is surrounded by a large palm grove, is referred to as the "red city" because of its battered clay houses and ramparts, erected during the Almohads' reign. The Medina of Marrakech is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is surrounded by 16 kilometres of fortifications and gates.

Palmeraie is a palm oasis west of Marrakech, with hundreds of thousands of palm trees. "The Palmeraie" refers to the entire territory north of the city, between the Route de Fes and the Route de Casablanca, measuring 8 kilometres in length and 140 square kilometres in area. Although tradition has it that this Palmeraie was built from date seeds thrown by Arab troops centuries ago, it was actually built utilising a khettara network during the Almoravid period. Over 100,000 date palms, as well as olive and fruit plants, have been planted. Irrigation is now provided by local reservoirs and artesian wells. Buildings were not permitted to be erected to heights higher than palm trees due to town planning regulations in the 1920s, and as a result, palm trees have grown on pavements as well.

The Menara Gardens are a historic public garden and orchard. Founded in the 12th century, the gardens have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, together with the Agdal Gardens and the old walled city of Marrakech.
