Description

Meet your guide in front of Cafe ARGANA, where you’ll receive a brief introduction and essential tips for this special tour. Please note that entrance fees to historical monuments are not included in the tour price and must be paid in local currency (DIRHAMS). Begin your journey at the Koutoubia Mosque, a 12th-century marvel that has stood tall as a guardian of Marrakech's skyline for centuries. This iconic mosque witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations and remains unchanged despite the passage of time and the succession of dynasties. Next, visit the Saadian Tombs, a 16th-century royal cemetery that honors the kings who defended and enriched their kingdom, creating a place where gold was more abundant than silver. The tombs are a magnificent testament to their power and legacy, befitting their status as rulers and protectors of the kingdom. Morocco has long been a melting pot of diverse cultures, ethnicities, and religions. Discover the Jewish heritage of North Africa and trace its roots back to ancient times, with legends connecting their origins to the era of King Solomon. Explore the intriguing history of the late 19th century at the Bahia Palace, (Located near the renowned El Badi Palace, famous for the Battle of the Three Kings). Here, former slaves rose to power, and stories of polygamy, concubines, honor, and dignity unfold within its majestic walls, transforming men of reason into passionate lovers. As you stroll through the vibrant narrow streets of the Medina, you’ll find yourself immersed in an ancient tale, moving from one chapter to the next. Witness the craftsmanship that brought fame to Morocco throughout Islamic-Andalusian history. The Medina is a labyrinth that hides a treasure in every alley, waiting to be discovered.
