Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Also known by several other names such as Jami’al-koutoubiyah, the kutubiyyin Mosque and the Bookseller’s Mosque, the Koutoubia Mosque is the largest one in Marrakech, it is located in the district of the south-west medina of Marrakech.

This mosque is decorated with curved windows, a strip of ceramic, pointed merlons and decorative arches, it has also a very large square aith gardens and is very lit at night. The koutoubia minaret is 77 meters high including an arrow and orbs. The mosque was completed under the reign of the Berber Almohad caliph Yaqub Al-Mansour (1184-1199). The beauty of this mosque inspired other buildings such as the Giralda of Seville and the Hassan Tower of Rabat.

Jamâa El Fna Square (11th century), recognized by UNESCO's Oral World Heritage of Humanity.

Jamaâ el Fna is the unmissable place of Marrakech, the living heart of the city and which is for a large part a constituent of its charm and its popular identity.

Jamaa el Fna Square is a place where the oral parthony of the city of Marrakech and all over the country is expressed with storytellers from all walks of life, snake charmers, groups of Berber musicians and others, acrobats and others.

Stop 3

The main attraction of Marrakech is its Medina (Historic Quarter of the city) with its main monuments and sites recognized for their heritage value, we find historic palaces, mosques, medersas (Koranic schools and traditional teachings) and museums.

The old city of Marrakech is subdivided into several sub-districts, the richest are around the royal palace and timeless mosques, and the poorest who are concentrated in polluting industries like tanneries.

In fact the middle and upper classes mostly left the Medina when the new towns were built by the french.

Noadays the Medina is mainly popular with more bourgeois cores corresponding to the tourist activity, there is also a return of interest for the old city among the well-to-do classes. The moroccans are more and more aware of the heritage they have and which they must preserve.

A spice is an organic material of plant origin that is fragrant or pungent. It is mainly used in small quantities in cooking, as a preservative, seasoning or coloring, but also in medicine, in dyeing or in distilleries. The concept of spice is partially confused with that of aromatic, and to a lesser extent of condiment.

The colorful Medina and Souks are the best places to have an idea about the wealth of the Marrakesh artisanal craft and meet talented craftsmen. These souks are organized in guilds: Cherratine souk for leather goods, Zrabi for carpets, Fekharine for pottery, Sebbaghine for dyers, Seffarine for brass …The Medina of Marrakesh is a puzzle and an endless discovery full of history and heritage.
