What makes Private Marrakech Jewish Heritage Tour a unique experience ?
Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, the pulsating heart of Marrakech, captivates with its vibrant energy and centuries-old charm. By day, it’s a lively marketplace filled with the allure of spices and crafts. As the sun sets, the square transforms into a dynamic spectacle, buzzing with food stalls, street performers, and the essence of Moroccan culture. Jemaa el-Fnaa is more than a square; it’s an immersive experience, a cultural crossroads where the spirit of Marrakech comes alive.
The Lazama Synagogue dates back to the 16th century and is an important testament to Morocco’s deep Jewish history. This Quarter was created in the Kasbah area in 1558. Meet Kati Roumani, an anthropologist from London, works as a guide at the Lazama Synagogue.
In 1558, Moulay Abdallah laid the foundation for the Mellah district, designating it as Marrakech’s Jewish quarter. Amid the upheavals of the Spanish religious wars, the Sultan extended a protective hand to Jewish refugees seeking sanctuary beyond their homeland. Within the confines of the Mellah, these refugees discovered not only physical security but also a place of solace amidst the uncertainties of the era.
