What to expect
Koutoubia Mosque
Koutoubia Mosque (30 minutes – Free Admission) Marvel at the Koutoubia Mosque, the largest mosque in Marrakech and an architectural wonder from the 12th century. Its towering minaret serves as a city landmark, guiding visitors through the bustling streets.
Bab Agnaou
Bab Agnaou functions as the main entrance to the Kasbah area, a fortified quarter within the walls of the Medina, and used to be the access to the site of the El Badi Palace, the Saadian Tombs and the El Mansouria (the kasbah mosque). Bab Aganou is perhaps the most unique of Marrakech’s nineteen gates and it’s original function, as a royal entrance, is perhaps the reason for this. The corner-pieces are decorated with floral decorations extending around a shell is simply exquisite and this ornamentation is framed by three panels and on these panels is an inscription from the Quran.
Bahia Palace (1 hour – Admission Ticket Not Included) Immerse yourself in the Bahia Palace, a breathtaking 19th-century royal residence adorned with intricate Moorish designs, vibrant ceramic tiles, and tranquil courtyards. A true gem of Moroccan architecture.
The Jemaa el-Fnaa is Marrakech’s main square and the most important part of the medina. Here, inhabitants and tourists gather both during the day and night to have something to eat, shop or observe the various shows taking place. During the day the square is full of surprising sights, from monkey trainers who have trained the apes to climb all over tourists to snake charmers, as well as dentists that expose the teeth they have recently extracted. In Jemaa el-Fnaa, you will also find numerous stands selling orange juice, spices, mint leaves and snails. At dusk, Marrakech’s main square transforms and the morning stalls disappear to give room to food stands where visitors can have dinner surrounded by Moroccan musicians playing traditional music and various other shows.
Souk Semmarine
Souk Semmarine : Having a tour guide along with you will prevent any hustling or bustling from any of the vendors throughout the Souks. Marrakech is a vibrant city, one that is bustling, noisy, colourful and vibrant. It is filled with markets, known as souks, and one can literally wander and explore the markets for days. They are filled with food, drink, jewellery, silver, gold, rugs, leather, art, clothing, souvenirs and everything in-between. They are a real highlight of Marrakech, and while everyone will get lost in a souk at some point, everyone will love them!
Medersa Ben Youssef ( Admission Ticket Not Included) Step into history at Medersa Ben Youssef, one of the most impressive Islamic colleges in North Africa. Founded in the 14th century and later expanded by the Saadian dynasty, this architectural masterpiece once housed up to 900 students studying the Quran and Islamic sciences. Admire the intricate cedarwood carvings, stunning zellij tilework, and elegant stucco detailing that adorn the walls and courtyards. The serene central courtyard, with its marble fountains and geometric patterns, offers a glimpse into Morocco’s rich artistic and educational heritage. A visit to Medersa Ben Youssef is like stepping back in time, making it a must-see for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and photographers alike!
Jardin Majorelle ( Admission Ticket Not Included) Begin your journey at the stunning Jardin Majorelle, a botanical masterpiece once owned by Yves Saint Laurent. Stroll through this serene oasis filled with exotic plants, tranquil pools, and vibrant blue architecture. A must-visit attraction in Marrakech
Gueliz
Gueliz Take a drive at last before heading back to your accommodation hotel. First built as a military camp, Gueliz was small and occupied primarily by the French. This French quarter grew rapidly and architects embraced Parisian Art Deco by creating large avenues, bustling cafes and theatres, along with charming villas and a central market. Gueliz was designed by French architect, Henri Prost. It’s original main tree-lined avenue was called Avenue du France. Today Avenue du France has been renamed Boulevard Mohammed VI and is filled with modern office buildings, banks, boutiques that are surrounded by magnificent Art Deco facades that remain from the city’s colonial past. Travelers and locals frequent Boulevard Mohammed VI for evening walks and picnics, sipping Moroccan tea at it’s sprawling cafes on sunlit terraces and to shop at luxury boutiques as they take in the glorious flora and fauna in full bloom year round.
