The Palace was built by El glaoui the famous and most powerful Pasha(Lord)of Marrakech and High Atlas at the beginning of the 20th century. The palace has several beautifully decorated courtyards lined with Zelij tile work, stucco work,painted wood and stalactites. One part of the building gathers a museum, The Jewish heritage, Islamic culture, African Art, donations of Patty Birtch, Mr.&Mrs Hermès, Yves Saint Laurent and a fine Andalusian garden planted with fruit trees.
The origins of Le Jardin Secret hark back to the second half of the sixteenth century. Today the green spaces of Le Jardin Secret are divided into an exotic garden and an Islamic garden. The importance of the building, first demonstrated by its large size, is underlined by the presence of a private hammam, the qubba and the tower: towering above the medina.Le Jardin Secret, which had, therefore, its own water supply, a rare privilege and an additional sign of wealth. We can still see the visible vestiges of the riad’s original water system, made up of pipes, reservoirs and canals cleverly linked together.(Approx.45mns-1h.)
The original 14th century Medersa Ben Youssef was rebuilt by Abdullah el Ghaleb, the Saadian made it the largest quranic school in Morocco in a deliberate attempt to snub the imams of Fez the religious center of the country .The Medersa is an old university to teach islamic law. its rectangular pool reflects both the beauty of blue Marrakech sky and the carved plaster walls and cedar ceilings from the sixteenth century.

“Fantastic tour of hidden places in Marrakesh ”
I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Medina of Marrakesh. There are so many hidden places that you would just walk by and not understand what they are. Abdellatif’s tour shows you hidden places and explains the history of the Medina, which is currently disappearing under our noses. Every year that goes by, it becomes more and more difficult to save these historical places within the Medina and by having a walking tour with Abdellatif I really could understand the history, and set up of the entire Medina in a way I never could have without his expertise. It was amazing to walk around and see all the tourists just walking by places, or shopping in cute shops, not knowing the real history the places. Very worthwhile if you want to understand , this very special place. Abdellatif was very professional. He arrived early and was very kind and generous with his information. I would highly recommend him to anybody.

“Marrakech medina tour”
Abdellatif was an awesome guide. He was kind and very knowledgeable with his knowledge and experience coming from one who grew up in the medina. If you're looking for a guide who will help you to learn about the history and culture of the medina and to explore beyond what tourists typically experience then I highly recommend Abdellatif as a guide.

“Couldn't have been happier”
Abdellatif arrived early to Riad Karmela and patiently waited as we finished breakfast and got ready. We then spent the day walking 4.1 miles around Marrakesh and seeing the main themes/sites. He was kind enough to walk us back to the Riad as imo, it is a confusing place to walk around. He spoke with clarity, spent the correct amount of time at each site and was patient while the kids asked questions. I have no hesitation recommending him to you.
