El Badi Palace, a captivating ruined palace in Marrakech, offers a historical glimpse into Morocco's past with its grand courtyards, remnants of opulent halls, and nesting storks. The site is generally accessible, though some uneven terrain and stairs might challenge full wheelchair access; major ground-level areas are manageable. Visitors can easily explore solo, but a local guide can significantly enhance the experience with historical context. The palace is typically open year-round, with spring and autumn offering the most pleasant weather, avoiding the intense summer heat; consider visiting in the morning or late afternoon to escape crowds and sun. Entrance costs around 70-100 MAD (approx. $7-10 USD), and a typical visit lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. Wear comfortable shoes and sun protection, as much of the site is open-air, and don't miss the unique Minbar exhibition or the resident storks.
