Younes was a thoughtful and attentive guide for our 2PM tour, always mindful of making sure we had access to shade for the heat or stores to buy refreshments if we wanted. Good situational humor too! As for the actual tour, it’s also a good way to be introduced to Marrakech. In our case we had gone to a similar tour right before joining this one, so we left early before Younes took the group into the souks as we had already been there in the morning. The earlier tour also included the Ben Yousef Madrasa, whose architecture is similar to Bahia Palace though on a smaller scale and without the greenery. If you have limited time and/or budget and have to make a choice, I think this might cover the most of the spirit of Marrakech in one go. Just be prepared to walk!

Full description

Begin your journey at the iconic Koutoubia Mosque, the largest mosque in Marrakech. Its striking Almohad architecture and towering minaret, topped with four copper globes, make it a defining symbol of the city.

Next, explore the Kasbah, a historic royal district known for its narrow streets and traditional architecture. Nearby, marvel at Bab Agnaou, a grand 12th-century gateway adorned with intricate stone carvings that once served as the royal entrance to the Kasbah.

Continue to the Saadian Tombs, the peaceful resting place of the Saadian dynasty. Hidden for centuries and rediscovered in 1917, their beautifully preserved zellij tiles and marble epitaphs showcase Morocco’s exquisite craftsmanship.

From there, delve into the Mellah, Marrakech’s former Jewish quarter. Its distinct architecture and layered history reflect the once-thriving Jewish community and its lasting influence on the city’s cultural tapestry.

Then, step into the splendor of the Bahia Palace, a 19th-century masterpiece featuring carved cedarwood, vibrant zellij, and serene courtyards—built to showcase the finest Moroccan artistry.

Your journey continues through the UNESCO-listed Medina, where winding alleys lead to bustling souks brimming with spices, textiles, perfumes, and leather goods. Visit renowned markets like Souk Semmarine and Souk El Attarine, and engage with local artisans who keep centuries-old traditions alive.

Wrap up your tour by witnessing craftsmanship in action at nearby workshops, where artisans skillfully create pottery, metalwork, and woodwork—preserving the heritage of Moroccan artistry.

Conclude your experience with a deep appreciation for Marrakech’s rich history, cultural diversity, and vibrant soul—leaving you with unforgettable memories of this enchanting city.
