Marrakech Audioguided walking tour 2h45 and 21 reviews

Among the souks of the Medina, we find the souk of spices, the souk of leather, the souk of potters or the souk of leather goods, but also the souk of carpets, a real specialty of Marrakech and Morocco in general!

As you stroll through the aisles of the Medina souk, you must have seen the vibrant colors of spices and perhaps some Marrakech culinary specialties.

It is at the heart of Marrakech’s social and economic life: Jemaa el-Fna Square is one of the city’s main attractions.

You enter here the essential part of Marrakech, so exceptional that it is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Here is the Dar Si Said Museum, or Moroccan Arts Museum. Housed in the former residence of Si Said, minister of war and brother of a great vizier, it exhibits the largest collection of furniture, weapons, musical instruments and other objects of daily life in Marrakech.

Here you are in front of one of Marrakech’s must-sees! This palace, built at the end of the 19th century, was designed with the aim of becoming the most beautiful, largest and most important palace of its time.

We enter here the Mellah district, former Jewish quarter of Marrakech. It was in 1558 that Sultan Moulay Abdallah ordered the Jews to be gathered in one and the same neighborhood, to avoid conflicts with the rest of the population who were Muslims.

The last vestiges of a rich palace of the 16th century, these great and old walls belong to El Badi, the Incomparable. This is what is called this complex built by Sultan Ahmed al-Mansur, sixth Sultan of the Saadian dynasty.

Open to the public since 1917, this exceptional site is a must during the visit of Marrakech. Here are the tombs of the great Saadian sultans, who ruled the city between 1524 and 1659, and their families.

Here you are in front of a monument of size: for its impressive dimensions, already, but also because it dates from the 13th century!

Marrakech is a city that boasts more than 10 centuries of history! A legacy that began in the 11th century, when the Almoravid dynasty settled on the Marrakesh lands.

The Koutoubia Mosque is the largest mosque in Marrakech and was one of the largest mosques in the world at the end of its construction. It is one of the oldest monuments of the city, completed in 1158 after 17 years of construction.

Here, it is the ideal spot to have a beautiful overview of the mosque of Koutoubia and especially its minaret of 69 meters high, 77 counting its spire.

As we walk along Lalla Rkia Street, I suggest you look back at the different dynasties that ruled Morocco throughout its history.

You are in front of the entrance that leads to the majestic Secret Garden of Marrakech, located in the Mouassine district, in the Medina.

The Maison de la Photographie is a museum that presents more than 10,000 old photos taken between 1870 and 1950.

You are in front of the entrance of the Médersa Ben Youssef, one of the most beautiful monuments of Marrakech. It is its interior that impresses especially, so if you are not against paying a few euros, I strongly advise you to visit it, especially since it is the largest madrasa in Morocco.

In 1997, the Marrakech Museum was created by the Omar-Benjelloun Foundation in an old palace that will give you a lot of sight.

It is named after one of the greatest Moroccan sultans, Ali Ben Youssef, who came from the Almoravid dynasty. He ruled Morocco for 37 years between 1106 and 1143.

You pass here in front of the only vestige still standing of an almoravid construction, people who founded the city of Marrakech.

Come on, it’s time to bring out your greatest negotiating skills! Morocco, we know, is a country where it is always necessary to negotiate the Awards of products, and even more so when you are a visitor: locals tend to raise the basic rates for travelers.
