You’ll also pass along its main avenue, often referred to as “the Champs-Élysées of Marrakech.”

4. Then, we continue our drive through the ancient walls of the old town, known as the Medina, heading toward the Koutoubia Mosque. Founded in 1147, it is the largest mosque in Marrakech and one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Its impressive minaret has inspired other famous structures, such as the Giralda of Seville and the Hassan Tower of Rabat. Your guide will lead you on a tour of the site, sharing fascinating insights and historical details about this remarkable monument.

5. We then continue driving through the imperial Kasbah, making a stop at the famous Bab Agnaou gate — one of the 19 historic entrances that lead through the ramparts of Marrakech. Dating back to the 12th century during the Almohad Berber dynasty, this majestic gate once served as the main entrance to the Caliphal Kasbah, the administrative and military center of power located in the southern part of the city. Flanked by two cannons, Bab Agnaou stands today as one of Marrakech’s most impressive and emblematic monuments.

About Marrakech

Ved foten av Atlasfjellene er rødmurte Marrakech berømt for sin labyrintiske medina, livlige hovedtorg og fredelige riader og hager.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, det store torget i medinaens sentrum, skifter karakter gjennom dagen, fra saftselgere og slangetemmere om morgenen til røykfylte matboder og musikanter etter mørkets frembrudd. Koutoubia-moskeens minaret reiser seg i nærheten som byens landemerke, og soukene brer seg nordover i en labyrint av smug som selger lær, lykter, tepper og krydder.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
