Marrakech is set against the snow-capped Atlas Mountains; Its great pride and landmark is the Koutoubia Tower, sister to the Tower of Hassan in Rabat and the Giralda Tower in Seville. It is said that after the third of these was completed, the sultan had the eyes of his architect put out, lest he should build another more beautiful tower elsewhere. No visit to the city is complete without a visit to the city’s UNESCO-listed medina & Djemâa-el-Fna, an extraordinary gathering and marketplace. The rest of the afternoon you have free time to relax by the pool or do a little shopping for souvenirs before we meet for the last group evening meal (unless you are at the cooking class).
An optional cooking class can take place this evening on a family home visit. This is a mutual exchange where we learn how to cook a tagine and about family life in Morocco and our cooking class cost helps the family out too.

Reviews from travellers on this tour

Criselda

Pace suited us!

18-Mar-2023

We were very happy with the tour and our guide (Mustapha) and our driver Houcine. The pace of the tour was just right for us with a lot of flexibility for stops or more time in some spots. Mustapha gave a lot of information about the tour and the sights. He also took very good care of us during the entire trip.

Exceeded my expectations!

29-Apr-2023

Tour exceeded my expectations. Our guide Mohamed created trust with the group and thanks to his dedication and sensitivity to our needs all the logistic was seamless. My highlights were Fez Medina and Sahara night in tent under the stars. Thank you for that memorable experience, for sure I will come back to Morocco!
