Itinerary
Admire the famous Koutoubia Mosque, the largest mosque in Marrakech and one of the city's most important historical landmarks. Your licensed guide will explain the history of the Almohad dynasty and the significance of the mosque’s impressive minaret, which dominates the skyline of the Medina. As non-Muslims cannot enter the mosque, the visit is from the outside where you can take photos and enjoy the surrounding gardens.
Continue your tour with a visit inside the magnificent Bahia Palace, one of Marrakech’s most beautiful historical monuments. Built in the 19th century, the palace is famous for its elegant courtyards, colorful zellige tiles, carved cedar wood ceilings, and peaceful gardens. Your guide will share the fascinating stories of the palace and its royal residents while you explore its impressive rooms and architecture.
Visit the historic Ben Youssef Madrasa, once one of the largest Islamic schools in North Africa. This remarkable building is known for its stunning Moroccan craftsmanship, intricate geometric patterns, carved woodwork, and peaceful courtyard. Your guide will explain the history of the school and the daily life of the students who once studied here.
Walk through the lively souks of Marrakech, where local artisans sell textiles, leather goods, spices, lanterns, and handmade crafts. Your guide will help you navigate the maze of colorful markets while explaining traditional Moroccan craftsmanship and daily life in the Medina.
End the tour at the iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa square, the beating heart of Marrakech. Experience the vibrant atmosphere filled with street performers, food vendors, musicians, and storytellers. Your guide will explain the cultural importance of the square and give you time to enjoy the lively surroundings.

About Marrakech
At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.
Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.
Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
