Full Day Tour in Marrakech with Lunch in Semi-Private with Pickup

Immerse yourself in the thriving culture and impressive history of Marrakech. Discover the imperial city of Morocco: the historic medieval city, the famous Jemaa El Fna square, the Koutoubia mosque, its palm grove

One of the most impressive sights in Marrakech, the Koutoubia is one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the Western Muslim world. Its 225-foot-tall minaret is a Hispano-Moorish masterpiece that is very similar to the Giralda in Seville.
The Bahia Palace was built in the late 19th century on a two-acre garden. It's a messy arrangement of secret luxury apartments opening onto inner courtyards. For seven years around a thousand artisans from the Fez region worked in the palace. The only sections open to the public are the apartments of the sultan's favorite concubine, the council chamber (with tiled walls and illuminated cedarwood ceiling), and the large central courtyard (paved with marble and decorated with zelliges and fountains).
he Saâdian Tombs with their delicate decorations and pure architectural lines are considered by many to be a beautiful feat of architecture. They were first built to house the tombs of the Saadian Sultan Ahmed el Mansour. In 1591 the first “koubba” of this cemetery was built to the south of the Casbah.
n the base of the Atlas Mountains are the Menara Gardens. Covering an area of ​​250 acres, they are full of olive trees surrounding a large central lake that dates back to the 12th century and is fed by a network of irrigation canals. At the water's edge is a small Saadian pavilion. With the snow-capped peaks behind, this is a stunning sight at night when it catches the golden rays of the setting sun. To better discover Marrakech, enter an intricate labyrinth of narrow streets in the world of souks. Sheltered from the sun by slatted awnings, you'll find a variety of accommodations established by craftsmen, according to a structured corporation system.
There are souks for basketry, nuts, spices, clothing, wool, furs, Berber rugs, leather goods, blacksmithing, jewelry and much more. Some notable souks include Rue du Souk Smarine, which leads to Place rahba Kedima, where a slave market once took place (it is still a major trading site). There are also some apothecary shops here and there. Next we will visit Djemaa El Fna. This traditional meeting place for farmers and merchants from the Sous region, the High Atlas and the South has become the heart of Marrakech.
In the mornings this large square is filled with fruit and spice vendors, warab with their leather canteens and metal cups, basket makers, ironmongers and barbers. In the evenings come the Gnaoua dancers descendants of former Guinean slaves, musicians, storytellers, snake charmers and monkey entertainers!
