A striking, cobalt-blue botanical garden created by Jacques Majorelle and restored by Yves Saint Laurent; it's a peaceful, photogenic oasis and an essential Marrakech stop. Typical opening hours are around 8:00am–5:30pm (seasonal) — confirm current hours and buy timed tickets if possible to avoid queues.
An exquisitely carved 14th–16th century Qur'anic school in the heart of the Medina — see the stucco, cedarwork and intimate courtyard that showcase Moroccan-Islamic craftsmanship. Usually open roughly 9:00am–5:00pm; check for any conservation closures before you go.
A well-reviewed, reasonably priced café in the Medina serving salads, tagines and mezze in a relaxed rooftop/terrace setting — great for a flavorful, affordable midday meal. Open typically from mid-morning through late afternoon; portions and prices are moderate, making it a good value choice.
Your 14:30 reservation at Les Bains Marrakech — this venue combines spa and dining options (confirm whether your booking is for lunch, treatment, or both); it's stylish and a nice contrast to the old-city atmosphere. Opening times vary by service (spa and restaurant often serve lunch and afternoon treatments); confirm the exact service and arrival requirements on your reservation.
Head back to Riad Bab 54 to freshen up and rest after a busy afternoon; allow some time to regroup before evening wandering. Typical riad check-in/room access is immediate if you already are staying there — otherwise confirm with the riad.
Late-afternoon/early-evening walk through the bustling souks and the Jemaa el-Fnaa square to soak up atmosphere, do light shopping, and see the square come alive as vendors prepare for night. Souks don't have strict opening hours but individual shops often close late afternoon for a short break then reopen; plan to move through areas you want to visit earlier rather than later.
Dinner reservation at Naranj (19:00): a popular Lebanese-Moroccan spot known for flavorful mezze and grilled specialties in an elegant setting; excellent for an atmospheric evening meal in the Medina. Dinner service commonly runs from around 7:00pm–11:00pm; you already have the reservation, so arrive on time to secure your table.
