Itinerary
The tour begins at a 12th-century religious monument in the heart of Marrakech's Medina, Jemaa el Fna. From there, you'll be guided through a brief history of Morocco, followed by insights into Marrakech and the Koutoubia Mosque.
Mellah is the Jewish quarter where the tour guilde will explain about the different types of buildings in Marrakech (Jewish and Muslim houses) and have a general idea about the directions inside the Medina. It will take about 10 minutes here then walk to Bahia Palace which is near (less than 2 minutes).
You will learn about the Moorish architecture and see how the vizier was living during the late 19th century.. Bahia Palace was the most amazing palace at that time and it's about 8 hectares; spacious, well decorated and beautiful. Anyone would love to spend more than 30 minutes inside, taking pictures, observing Zelij, marble, carved stucco and much more.. then the tour will head to Madrasa Ben Youssef passing by the Souk and visit a herbal shop (optional) which will take between 30-60 minutes..
Take a peaceful sand coffee break at a humble rooftop in the heart of the Medina. Enjoy a relaxing moment with a refreshing cup of coffee, perfect for recharging during your tour. (Coffee is included).
Explore the vibrant Souks of Marrakech as you visit three main sections: the leather souk, where skilled artisans craft intricate leather goods; the blacksmith and lamp souk, home to stunning Moroccan lamps; and the Olive Market, brimming with local produce. You'll also have the chance to observe a craftsman carving delicate stucco, a technique you saw earlier at Bahia Palace. A truly immersive experience in Marrakech's rich craftsmanship!
End your tour at the bustling Jemaa el Fna, where your guide will provide helpful directions, offer insider recommendations, and assist with any questions you have about your Marrakech experience. It’s the perfect way to wrap up your adventure, ensuring you're fully equipped to explore the city on your own.
