Morocco Tour

Journey Through Colors and Tastes

Arrival in Marrakech, the most colorful city in Morocco and the vibrant heart of the country, known for its historical and cultural significance. This red desert city is home to around one million residents and is located southwest at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. The city is divided into two areas: the old city (medina) and the new city, renowned for its winding alleys and vibrant markets, and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Upon arrival, you will meet our representative and transfer to your hotel.
Overnight in Marrakech.

In the evening, it is recommended to visit the central square of Jemaa el-Fnaa, where experiencing the lively atmosphere feels like stepping into a scene from “One Thousand and One Nights.”

After breakfast, we will meet our guide in the hotel lobby and set off for a day of exploration in Marrakech.

We’ll begin our tour at the Koutoubia Mosque, established in the late 12th century and regarded as the largest and most impressive mosque in Marrakech. The mosque’s towering, intricately decorated minaret can be seen from anywhere in the city.

Next, we will visit the Bahia Palace, built in the 19th century by the grand vizier of the sultan. This splendid, ornately decorated palace was constructed in traditional Andalusian style and features pavilions and inner courtyards surrounded by marble fountains, columns, and beautiful gardens.

We’ll continue to the mellah, where the Jewish community resided, and visit the ancient “Al-Azama” synagogue, built in 1492 by Jews fleeing Spain.
Next, we’ll head to the beautifully manicured Majorelle Gardens, created by French artist Jacques Majorelle and later purchased by renowned designer Yves Saint Laurent after his death. The gardens are characterized by vibrant colors and an impressive array of fountains and unique plants, such as cacti and bamboo, which create a serene and unique atmosphere. We will also visit the museum dedicated to Saint Laurent’s work, located near the gardens.

We’ll then explore the medina, home to the endless colorful souk, wandering through the market’s winding alleys where you’ll find just about anything your heart desires: lamps, carpets, fabrics, decorated plates and bowls, tagine pots, leather goods, jewelry, spices, and much more. We will ascend to the second floor of one of the cafes to enjoy a view of the bustling Jemaa el-Fnaa square, one of the central cultural hubs and symbols of the city. You can also include a visit to a traditional apothecary where you’ll learn about the healing herbs used for centuries.

In the evening, if you’re interested, we can arrange seats for you at the “Fantasia Ali” show—a traditional Berber folklore performance that combines dancing, singing, acrobatics on horseback, and gunfire displays.

After breakfast, we will embark on a day tour to the stunning Ourika Valley, located about 60 km from Marrakech (including a guide). The Ourika Valley is a lush, unspoiled oasis nestled at the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. Along the way to the valley, we will pass through orchards, streams, grassy meadows, and traditional Berber villages from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Upon arrival in the valley, we will visit a traditional Berber home and learn about the lifestyle of the indigenous inhabitants of Morocco. This unique cultural experience offers insight into their daily lives and customs.

Next, we will enjoy a circular hiking trail through the valley, where the breathtaking mountainous scenery will captivate us. In spring, we may even catch a glimpse of the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas. After a day filled with adventure and natural beauty, we will return to Marrakech.

After breakfast, we will embark on a approximately 3-hour drive to the western coast, heading to Essaouira, a charming port city located on a bay by the Atlantic Ocean. During the journey, we will be treated to a fascinating sight of goats climbing the branches of argan trees to eat their fruit.

Upon arrival, we will enjoy a half-day guided tour of Essaouira. We will visit the mellah (Jewish quarter) and the house of the famous Pinto synagogue, located on the second floor of a three-story building. Recently, the synagogue has been renovated and is maintained by two local women. We will continue our exploration of the old town of Essaouira, wandering through its narrow alleys and heading to the city’s fishing port.
