What you can expect

Begin your walking tour at Bahia Palace, a 19th-century architectural gem that once housed grand viziers and royal courtiers. Stroll through its 160 lavishly decorated rooms and picturesque courtyards, adorned with intricate stucco, colourful zellij tiles, and carved cedar ceilings. Learn about the history of this palace and the intriguing lives of those who once resided within its walls.

Next, visit the Ben Youssef Medersa, one of the largest and most stunning Quranic schools in North Africa. Originally built during the rule of Sultan Abou el Hassan and later expanded by the Saadians in the 16th century, this architectural masterpiece features detailed stucco work, exquisite zellij mosaics, and cedarwood carvings. Step into its tranquil courtyard and imagine the lives of the students who once studied within these historic walls.

Continue your journey into the Marrakech Souks, the bustling heart of the old Medina. Wander through the labyrinth of narrow alleys filled with vibrant textiles, handcrafted pottery, aromatic spices, and traditional Moroccan lanterns. Watch local artisans at work, from leather tanners to metalworkers, and soak in the rich sights, sounds, and scents of the marketplace.

Conclude your tour with an authentic taste of Marrakech’s vibrant culture, as your guide shares insider tips on the best local shops and hidden treasures within the souks. Whether you’re looking for a unique souvenir or simply enjoying the lively atmosphere, this experience will leave you with unforgettable memories of the city’s history, artistry, and traditions.
