Marrakech Medina, Monuments, and Souks
Start the tour by walking into the heart of the medina and discovering many of its hidden gems.
Visit the Koutoubia, the largest mosque in Marrakech, with its stunning 70-meter-high minaret.
Following this, visit the Saadian Tombs, sealed up for centuries until they were rediscovered in 1917. There are two main mausoleums within the enclosure, consisting of 66 tombs, while 100 more are laid outside in the gardens.
Notice the wonderful Hispano-Moorish architecture that surrounds the burial ground of the royal family.
Visit the 19th-century Bahia Palace, surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens filled with sweet-smelling flowers and fruit trees. This aristocratic palace has beautifully painted residential rooms and a lush Moorish-style garden in the courtyard.
Finally, explore the colorful souks with their tinsmiths, dyers, herbalist stalls, and workshops, ending at Djemaa El Fna Square, where hundreds of locals meet every day to enjoy storytellers, musicians, snake charmers, acrobats, jugglers, and performers of every sort.
