Description

Take a guided walking tour of Marrakech to discover the magnificent and spectacular treasures of this medieval desert enclave. Walk through the ancient medina with a local guide. Enjoy quick access to the Bahia and Badii Palaces, then take an optional visit to the Saadian Tombs. Start your walking tour by passing the ruins of Sultan Ahmed El Mansour's Grand Badi Palace, dating from the 16th century. You will enjoy a glimpse of the ancient wealth of this majestic city. Discover how, at the height of its glory, the palace was considered the 8th wonder of the world. Then continue your visit to the Bahia Palace, the jewel in the crown of Marrakech and a monument of breathtaking magnificence. Step inside to see how it was built in the late 19th century and took six years of work for the most skilled workers and craftsmen. Finally, an optional tour of the Saadian tombs, sealed for centuries until their rediscovery in 1917. Learn how the tombs date back to the time of Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur. Discover the two main mausoleums located within the grounds, made up of 66 tombs and 100 others outside the gardens.
