Marrakech: Bahia Palace, Saadian Tombs, and Medina Tour

Begin your journey with a stop by the Koutoubia Mosque, the largest mosque in Marrakech. Its stunning Almohad architecture and towering minaret crowned with four copper globes make it a city icon. Then, pause at the Kasbah, a historic neighbourhood that served as a fortified royal district. Its narrow streets and traditional architecture offer a glimpse into the life and heritage of the city’s past. Nearby, admire Bab Agnaou, a grand 12th-century gateway with intricate stone carvings, historically serving as the royal entrance to the Kasbah. Continue to the Saadian Tombs, a serene resting place of the Saadian dynasty. Hidden for centuries and rediscovered in 1917, their ornate zellij tiles and marble epitaphs reflect Morocco’s rich craftsmanship. Venture into the Mellah, the former Jewish quarter, with its unique architecture and cultural significance. Once a bustling hub, it preserves stories of coexistence and the vibrant Jewish community that shaped Marrakech’s history. Discover the grandeur of Bahia Palace, an opulent 19th-century residence filled with elegant cedar wood carvings, zellij tiles, and tranquil courtyards designed to impress. Conclude your tour in the bustling Medina, a labyrinth of lively souks and Djemaa El Fna Square. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere, browse traditional crafts, and enjoy local entertainment, capturing the spirit of Marrakech.
