Full description

Your tour will begin in the bustling Djemma El Fna Square, one of the largest of its kind throughout all of Africa. Be dazzled by snake charmers, acrobats, musicians, jugglers and a host of other performers. From here you will discover the hidden cultural sides of Marrakech: including the historical quarters and their food markets, souks, hammams, fountains, artisan workshops, and historical sites

You’ll be guided inside the sublime Ben Youssef Medersa; a theological college that was once the largest in North Africa, the Medersa’s inner courtyard is a dazzling display of stucco archways, mosaic walls, and marbled columns. Across the square from here, you’ll find the small but stunningly intricate Almoravid Koubba, Marrakech’s oldest monument
