Description
Begin your walking tour at the Koutoubia Mosque, Marrakech’s largest and most iconic mosque, named for its historical connection to bookshops and booksellers. Here, you’ll admire the traditional Almohad architectural style and its striking minaret, crowned with four copper globes. Continue to the majestic Bahia Palace, a masterpiece of 19th-century Moroccan architecture. Wander through its 160 rooms arranged around intimate courtyards—rumored to have once housed concubines. As you explore, take in the opulent eight-hectare gardens, embellished with intricately carved stucco, colorful zellij tiles, marble floors, cedar wood ceilings, and hand-painted finishes. Afterward, delve into the vibrant Souk Semmarine, renowned for its traditional garments and finely crafted leather goods. Engage with local artisans and observe their time-honored craftsmanship up close. Then, make your way to Souk El Attarine, a treasure trove of fragrant spices, natural perfumes, and beauty products that reflect Morocco’s rich sensory traditions. Next, experience the heart of local creativity at nearby workshops where artisans keep ancient techniques alive through pottery, metalwork, and wood carving. These spaces serve as living museums of Moroccan heritage and skill. For a moment of tranquility, retreat to Le Jardin Secret, a hidden gem nestled within the medina. This peaceful garden, a splendid example of Islamic art and design, invites you to unwind amid blooming flowers, flowing fountains, and serene courtyards. Conclude your tour with lasting impressions of Marrakech, a city where architectural splendor, bustling souks, and deep-rooted culture come together to create an unforgettable experience.Includes
