Marrakech Guided City Tour: Full Day

Marrakech – Private Guided City Tour: Full Day

Former imperial capital, Marrakech is nicknamed the “Red City”. An official and licensed English-speaking guide will take you through the Marrakech medina, one of several UNESCO World Heritage sites in Morocco. The medina is surrounded miles of fortified walls and gates, and its skyline is dominated by the minaret of 12th century Koutoubia Mosque.

Cures for whatever ails, along with traditional spices with proven medical benefits, can be found in a traditional Berber pharmacy. Indulge in some retail therapy in the medina’s seemingly endless souks.

Other places of interest: the Saadian tombs and mausoleum were originally built in the 16th century but later sealed and only discovered by the French in the early 20th century. El Bahia Palace gives you a taste of the life of a 19th century vizier and his harem. Ben Youssef Medersa, founded in the 14th century, was the largest Islamic college in North Africa at its time and showcases intricate woodwork and tile work.
