Welcome to Morocco! Arrival into Marrakech and transfer to your hotel close to the Medina.

Spend the morning with your Marrakech town guide to get an overview of this wonderful city and its bustling souks.

The rest of the day is free for you to independently explore Marrakech at your own pace. Perhaps visit Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs or head to the Jardins de Majorelle. This evening, consider visiting the Hivernage with its upmarket cafes.

Marrakech & Atlas Mountains - 5 days

08-Nov-2024

The tour was good, but we lost one day as Glaui Palace, our day 4 visit, has been shut for a year. This should not be part of your advertised tour, and no replacement was offered. Essentially our 4-day tour was 3 days, with the 4th day a scenic drive. Not impressed
