"Today, Badi is a spectacular ruin of crumbling pisé (mud brick) walls, faded mosaic floors, and empty ponds and pools that visitors are free to explore on their own."
Lonely Planet
"The king occasionally entertains royal visitors here, and the stately setting adds instant atmosphere to the Festival of Popular Arts in July."

Benchaabane was responsible for the restoration of the Majorelle Gardens at the request of Yves Saint Laurent in 1998, and the garden designs here clearly reflect his passion for creating beautiful natural spaces.
Afar Magazine
"While the story of Marrakesh is relived every day on its streets and in the medina, its museums allow you to slow the pace and take stock of it all."
