When in Morocco, you must visit the city of Marrakech. On this day trip, stroll through the city and take in the sights including famous souks and the Bahia Palace, taste Marrakech tagine, and return to Casablanca for the evening.
Your day starts as your private driver choices you up from your Casablanca hotel and takes you to Marrakech, a weekend getaway for the jet set. Upon arriving in Marrakech, meet your guide and explore the city, including the iconic Koutoubia Mosque with its white Koubba, built by the Almohads, and the Bahia Palace, once the luxurious home of the former sultan's harem.
After lunch of tagine and kebabs at Dar Nejjarine, a Moroccan restaurant near the Koutoubia, visit the medina and the famous souks of Marrakech. Ask your guide to show you the ancient bakers' ovens as you wander through the colourful labyrinth, walking by a dried fruit and spices souk, as well as baskets, rugs, leather goods, jewellers, kissaria, babouch, handbags, and the beautiful kaftan souk.
This tour is private, allowing some variety in the itinerary along the way. Stop at a Berber pharmacy with ancient medicines, spices, and tea, before entering the Ben Youssef Madrasa, featuring Moorish-style design and once the largest Islamic university in the Maghreb.
See the famed square, Djemaa El Fnaa, and during some free time, meet soothsayers, snake charmers, and storytellers, and then watch performing monkeys, magicians, dancers, and musicians. Say goodbye to your guide and return to Casablanca, having experienced the magic of Marrakech.
