Discover the highlights of Marrakech on a small group guided walking tour. The morning begins in the heart of the city with a visit to the Bahia Palace, a masterpiece of 19th-century Moorish design. This palace is known for its peaceful gardens, colorful tilework, and carved wooden ceilings, and it was expanded to house the Royal harem, serving as a symbol of political power.
The tour continues by delving into the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter, a maze of quiet alleyways and spice shops. From there, you will enjoy a walk past key sites such as the Royal Palace (still an official residence of the Moroccan king) and the imposing 12th-century Bab Agnaou gate, a striking example of Almohad architecture.
Next, you will approach the Koutoubia Mosque, whose minaret dominates the skyline and served as the model for the Giralda tower in Seville. You will cross the bustling Jemaa el Fna square, where storytellers and artisans fill the square with timeless energy. The tour concludes with a visit to the stunning Ben Youssef Madrasa, a 16th-century gem of Islamic architecture that was once one of the largest Islamic theological colleges.
