After venturing further into the medina and souk you may enjoy visiting the Majorelle Gardens which are based in the Gueliz.They are the ideal place to spend a peaceful hour or two away from the hustle and bustle of this busy city. The Gueliz area of the city was built during the French Protectorate, and is well worth a visit for a leisurely lunch.
