(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Original Marrakech ( Medina )
The Medina of Marrakech is a UNESCO World Heritage site, offering a labyrinth of narrow alleys, bustling souks, and historic buildings. As you explore, you'll encounter a sensory overload of sights, sounds, and smells, from fragrant spice stalls to colorful textiles. Be prepared for a mix of tranquil courtyards and lively marketplaces, each turn revealing a new facet of Moroccan culture and history.
Jemaa el-Fnaa
Jemaa el-Fnaa is the pulsating heart of Marrakech, a sprawling square that transforms from a bustling marketplace by day to an open-air theater by night. During the day, you'll find snake charmers, monkey handlers, and traditional water sellers, while evenings bring food stalls, storytellers, and musicians. The square offers a unique glimpse into Moroccan culture, but be aware of pickpockets and overzealous vendors.
Koutoubia MosquePass-by Only
The Koutoubia Mosque, with its iconic minaret, is the largest mosque in Marrakech and a symbol of the city. While non-Muslims cannot enter the mosque itself, you can admire its stunning Moorish architecture and explore the surrounding gardens. The minaret, standing at 77 meters tall, has inspired similar structures in Seville and Rabat.
