Jewish Heritage and Moorish Splendor: Private Guided Marrakech Tour

During this private half day guided discovery tour in Marrakech, your driver will pick you up from your hotel. You will meet your friendly guide and begin your tour with a walk through the alley ways of the 16th century Jewish Mellah quarter, a distinct district in the medina with a great historical importance. It is here where Jewish settled in Marrakech and practiced trades and craft. You will visit the Lazama Synagogue, the main synagogues remaining in the Mellah quarter and certainly the most picturesque with its striking blue and white colors.
You will also visit the most beautiful palace of Marrakech, the Bahia Palace. Built in the late 19th century, the name literally means "brilliance", it was intended to be the greatest palace of its time. The best workers and artisans of the country have worked continuously for six years (1894-1900) to achieve it. It is a spectacular masterpiece with a beautiful Moorish style.
Visit the souks and see artisans perpetuating their ancestral skills of making all sorts of local crafts before heading to the famous Jemaa El Fna square, a veritable open-air theater that always amazes its visitors with its snake charmers, musicians and markets stalls. You’ll finish off with a rest stop at a local cafe, where you’ll get to try local sweets and Berber tea. (not included in price).
Return to your hotel.
