The Bahia Palace

The construction of the Bahia Palace was commissioned in 1880 by the Grand Vizier Sidi Moussa and is said to be the fruit of his folly. Successively at the service of Sultans Moulay Hassan and Moulay Abd el-Aziz, Sidi Moussa was the actual master of the Kingdom of Morocco.

The Grand Vizier commanded the erection of this palace, which consists of no less than 160 rooms, for one of her official concubines, thus the Bahia Palace meaning “Palace of the Beautiful Woman”.

The estate consists in a succession of luxuriant apartments and courtyards. The sumptuousness and elegance of the interior gardens are incomparable, and the ornaments and decorations are simply sublime. Moreover, the property is surrounded by an 8 hectares garden.

The beauty of the Bahia Palace is a remarkable testimony of 19th century Eastern architecture.

Saadian Tombs

The Saadian tombs are the sole remains that wear witness to the power and refinement of the Saadian Dynasty, which ruled over South Morocco during its Golden Age, from 1554 to 1659.

At the dawn of the 18th century, Sultan Moulay Ismail had already decided to make all the traces of the magnificence of this dynasty disappear by commanding the destruction of all the remaining vestiges. But he did not dare committing the sacrilege of destroying their burial places and commanded that a wall be erected at the entrance of the necropolis. It was only in 1917 that the secret location of the tombs was unveiled.

The most stunning and prestigious mausoleum is the Hall of the Twelve Columns. This hall houses the tomb of the Sultan’s son, Ahmad Al Mansur, where the stele is in finely worked cedar wood and stucco work. The tombs are made of white and blue-grey Italian Carrara marble. Some of the tombs bear poetic epitaphs, such as that of Princess Zohra’s, where one can read: “Here is the tomb of the noble dame, new moon, marvel of virtues”.

El-Badi Palace

Dar el-Badi, the Palace of the Incomparable was erected in 1578. It was the Saadian sovereign Ahmad Al Mansur, son of Sultan Moulay Ismail, who decided to build it as a celebration of his victory over the Portuguese Army after the battle of Ksar Al Kebir or Battle of Three Kings in 1578. It took 25 years, from 1578 to 1608, to complete the building of this sumptuous palace, and the richest and finest materials were used in the decoration of its 360 rooms of the princely estate.

The magnificence of the El Badi Palace is now ancient history, since it became one of the many victims of the will of the Alaouite sovereign Moulay Ismail, the “Warrior King”, of destroying any trace of the Saadian heritage. But you will certainly be amazed just by exploring the immense esplanade dug with basins and surrounded by fortifications, a design inspired by the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. Also, you will be able to admire the skill of Moroccan craftsmanship in the wooden work on the Koutoubia minbar exhibited in one of the refurbished pavilions.

Jemaa El Fna Square

The Jemaa El Fna square is the biggest square in the African continent and remains the geographical, social and cultural centre of the medina of Marrakech.

Ben Youssef Madrasa

The Ben Youssef madrasa or « school » is one of the jewels of the Arab-Andalousian architecture of Marrakech. The current structure of this Islamic college was erected around 1570 during the rule of the Saadian dynasty and was refurbished in 1950. At the peak of its splendor, the Ben Youssef madrasa could house up to 900 students in its 150 cells arranged around a courtyard richly carved in cedar, marble and stucco. The carvings contain no representation of humans or animals as required by Islam, and consist entirely of inscriptions and geometric patterns. Due to its characteristic architecture, this sacred building is the largest madrasa in the whole Maghreb.

When ferrets are excited, they may present a routine commonly referred to as the weasel war dance. It is often a request to play or an expression of happy excitement and is not threatening. Arching the back, and hopping to the side or backwards while facing the intended playmate, often accompanied by an excited panting sound that may sound like a hiss. Often, this act will lead into a game of chase, pounce or wrestle. Ferrets in war dances are extremely accident prone, often hopping into obstacles or tripping over their own feet. Ferrets have a tendency to nip, the act of biting in a playful manner, while playing with humans or other animals. When trained correctly, they normally never nip a human or only do so very gently, careful not to break the skin. However, ferrets that have been abused or are in extreme pain may bite and are capable of strong bites.

Ferrets are energetic, curious, often wishing to play with humans or other pets. With strong nesting instincts they will repeatedly carry small objects and their toys into hiding, under furniture or in areas they can get into like closets and cupboards. It is difficult to predict what objects ferrets will take. Ferrets will seem to form attachments to certain objects and will often take the same object and bring it to their hiding place. On wash day, always count on discovering a stash of socks under the dressers.

Ferret curiosity often has no bounds of common sense. Getting into holes in walls, doors, cupboards, or in or behind household appliances where they can be injured by fans, and other household items or killed by drowning, electrocution and chemical poison. Many enjoy chewing items made of soft rubber, foam, or sponge, which presents the risk of intestinal blockage or death if swallowed. Owners should ferret-proof their home, removing items dangerous to ferrets and covering over any holes or probable escape routes. As ferrets can open incorrectly latched cupboards or doors, childproof latches are often used. Keep cleaning products in high, out-of-reach places.

Whenever ferrets are outside, they should be closely supervised and if at all possible kept on a harness leash designed for ferrets. Unlike dogs and cats, many ferrets demonstrate little homing instinct and do not thrive as strays. Wandering ferrets may be easily injured or killed by neighborhood animals, local wildlife, or passing vehicles. Their curious nature also leads them into situations where they will confront or try to play with larger animals outdoors that may be hazardous to the ferret. When a ferret is outdoors, an owner should take extra care during mosquito and tick season. The sting of a bee, wasp or a spider bite can be serious for a ferret. Ferrets can also be considered prey for hawks and other animals. The sting of a bee, wasp or a spider bite can be serious for a ferret. They also are susceptible to diseases and even a common cold.

Ferrets, like cats, can use a litter box with training, but they are not always completely litter box trainable. Try not to move litter boxes to a new location in the home. Their instinct is to lay out their waste in order to scent mark territory, therefore multiple litter boxes may be required and all litter areas should be cleaned often.
