What makes Marrakesh Medina guided Tour a unique experience ?
Walk around the Koutoubia mosque with its towering minaret, the tallest in Marrakech. Within the city walls, no building is allowed to be taller than the Koutoubia. The minaret is part of the largest mosque in Marrakech, which was completed in 1199.
You will have walk to explore Jemaa el Fna, the primary square in the medina and a UNESCO world heritage site. Though now filled with street performers, snake charmers, merchants, and orange juice stalls, when it was created in 1050, it was used for public executions, perhaps leading to its name which can be translated as “assembly of death”.
Visit the Mellah of Marrakesh which is the historic Jewish quarter located in the Medina. Established in the 16th century during the Saadian dynasty, the Mellah was a designated area for the Jewish community, who were invited to Marrakesh for their skills in craftsmanship, trade, and finance. It’s known for its unique architecture, with distinctive, narrow alleyways, traditional houses, and a distinct layout compared to other parts of the Medina.
Bahia Palace, a late 19th-century palace built for the grand vizier and named for his favorite wife. The rooms, set in a 2-acre garden, include the rooms which housed his harem, an often political position.
The Madrassa is an old Islamic school, and Ben Youssef one is the largest in the Maghreb region. In this historical site you’ll see the beautiful Moroccan architecture, from the Zellij tiles to the plaster and sttuco carvings and calligraphy as well as the beautiful Cedar wood works on the arch’s and ceilings of the site.
Head into the souks surrounding Jemaa el Fna and make stop at a Berber Apothecary shop, learning of the medicinal uses of many of the common spices and herbs that are still used across Morocco to treat common illnesses. While it’s not as picturesque as the heaps of spices you find in the market, it is far more informative. Then visit the several workshops including shoemakers and bakers.
