What you can expect

Set out on this guided tour to explore Marrakech's cultural treasures, including the Medersa Ben Youssef, the Secret Garden, and bustling markets. Immerse yourself in the city's rich history and vibrant present through this immersive experience.

Begin with a visit to the Ben Youssef Medersa, a medieval Islamic school and a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. Undeniably one of the most beautifully decorated buildings in Marrakesh, marvel at the zellij tiling, stucco plasterwork, and carved cedar wood.

Learn about the tradition of the Hammam, an important part of Moroccan culture, as we visit one of the oldest hammams in the area. If possible, we will also have the chance to see Moroccan bread being baked in a local public oven, using traditional methods passed down through generations.

Continue to the Secret Garden, a hidden oasis of palaces in the heart of the Medina. Walk through the surrounding gardens, admire the colourful flowers, and enjoy the calming sounds of fountains.

Then, explore the lively souks—the vibrant heart of Marrakech. Discover a variety of traditional Moroccan handicrafts, spices, medicinal remedies, and local entertainment. Browse iconic items, such as babouches, leather goods, garments, pottery, tajine dishes, and silver jewellery, and test your bargaining skills.
