Tour details | What to expect

Your journey into the rich heritage of Marrakech begins at the iconic Jemaa el-Fna square, right in front of Café de France. There, you’ll meet your friendly local guide who will lead you on a captivating 3-hour Historical & Cultural Walking Tour through the heart of the Red City.

The first stop is the majestic Koutoubia Mosque, the largest and most important mosque in Marrakech. Built in the 12th century under the Almohad Dynasty, its striking minaret towers over the city and has served as a beacon for locals and travelers alike for centuries.

From there, you’ll venture into the soul of Marrakech’s Medina, where history, architecture, and daily life seamlessly intertwine. Here’s what you’ll experience:

• Bahia Palace – Be enchanted by this architectural masterpiece with its intricate Moorish designs, colorful zellij tiles, and lush gardens. It’s a true symbol of 19th-century Moroccan opulence.
• The Mellah (Jewish Quarter) – Learn about the deep-rooted Jewish influence in Marrakech’s history. This vibrant neighborhood tells a lesser-known yet vital story about cultural coexistence and heritage.
• Bab Agnaou Gate – One of Marrakech’s most striking gates, Bab Agnaou is the grand entrance to the historic Royal Kasbah, dating back to the 12th century.
• Riad Zitoun Neighborhood – Discover a favorite local hangout spot, known for its welcoming vibes, charming artisan shops, and cozy cafés. It’s the perfect place to feel the everyday rhythm of Marrakech life.
• Medina’s Narrow Streets – Get lost (in the best way) in the narrowest and quietest alleys of the old city, where you’ll get a rare, authentic glimpse into local life beyond the tourist path.
• Souk Semmarine – Brace yourself for a full sensory immersion in Morocco’s largest traditional market. For over 1,000 years, this bustling hub has been the center of trade and craftsmanship, offering everything from spices to leather goods.

To enrich your experience further, you have the option to visit either the Saadian Tombs, a stunning royal necropolis hidden for centuries, or the Medersa Ben Youssef, a former Islamic college known for its breathtaking architecture and peaceful courtyards. Entrance fees apply, and your guide will help you decide based on your interests.

Your adventure wraps up back at Jemaa el-Fna, where the sounds of storytellers, musicians, and bustling food stalls mark the perfect end to an unforgettable journey through Marrakech’s living history.
