Marrakech City Tour – Overview
Private Guided Tour of the Marrakech Medina
Our Marrakech city tour is the easiest way to discover the Red City with a licensed local guide. In just a few hours, you see the main sights of the old medina. Your guide also shares the stories behind each palace, mosque and square. In addition, the tour is private, so you can ask questions and set the pace.
Top sights on this Marrakech city tour
First, you admire the Koutoubia Mosque, the most famous landmark in town. Then you visit the Saadian Tombs and the painted halls of Bahia Palace. After that, you walk through the busy souks, where craftsmen make lamps, rugs and leather goods. Finally, you reach Jemaa el-Fna, the lively main square. If you wish, you can also add the Majorelle Garden.
History and culture of the Red City
The medina of Marrakech is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with nearly a thousand years of history. For example, your guide explains how the city grew under the Almoravids and the Saadians. Moreover, you learn about local crafts, food and daily life. As a result, the city makes much more sense when you explore it alone later.
