Full Description

Embark on a guided walking tour through the bustling streets of Marrakech, either privately or with a group. Marvel at some of the city’s major landmarks, including Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, the Koutoubia Mosque, the Saadian Tombs, and the Bahia Palace.

Begin your journey by meeting your guide in front of Café de France, a well-known landmark on Marrakech’s lively Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. Dive into the heart of the medina, soaking in its majesty and vibrancy.

Your first stop is the Koutoubia Mosque, home to the city’s largest minaret. Learn about the stunning architecture and rich history of this iconic site.

Next, explore the Saadian Tombs, which were sealed for centuries until their rediscovery in 1917. Be amazed by the intricate Hispano-Moorish carvings that frame the crypts of a 16th-century royal family.

Continue to the Bahia Palace, a 19th-century royal residence designed to be the most splendid palace of its era. Wander through its elaborately painted ceilings, gardens full of fruit trees, and intricate stucco patterns that adorn nearly every surface.

Conclude your tour by strolling through the vibrant souks, where you’ll find a diverse array of local artisans and craftspeople. Your guide will share insider tips on the best stalls to visit. Finish back at Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, where locals gather daily to enjoy the lively atmosphere filled with storytellers, musicians, and performers.
