Half Day Historical Visit of Marrakesh

Cost: $50.00
Tour Length: Half Day
Activity Level: Easy to Moderate

Marrakesh is the gateway to the Atlas and you will probably pass through it on your way to the mountains. It is a great, exotic city and one that deserves a few days to explore.

Arriving in Marrakesh is an almost overwhelming experience; the combined assault of sounds, smells and sights will have your senses reeling. Djemaa al-Fna, the city's central square and its cultural pulse, is where the assault is at its most intense. Snake-charmers, storytellers, street dentists and Berber drummers compete for attention with frenzied enthusiasm. There is no sight quite like it in the Arab world.

This is still a deeply religious city. Calls to prayer boom from the tops of mosques and Koutoubia, the 220ft-tall minaret that dominates the skyline, is closed to non-Muslims. On your tour you will visit the Koutoubia Mosque. You will also visit the Bahia Palace, the Dar Di Said museum, and the Saadiens tombs. You will then be taken back to your hotel.

For Atlas visitors, Marrakesh is, above all, a base camp. Here you will find supplies, advice, and telephones. More importantly, perhaps, Marrakesh will be ready to welcome you back from the mountains with a warm shower, an extravagant dinner and a smooth, cold drink.
