Tour description

Join Marrakech WITH Locals on this old city cultural, historical and touristic sightseeing tour. It is about exploring the secrets of the old city, best sights and local life in the fourth-largest city of Morocco. We will be walking inside and through the Medina's narrow alleyways and landmarks such as Koutoubia Mosque, Medina labyrinths, Jamaa Elfna Square, etc. 

Go on this cultural journey exploring through the streets of Marrakech to the 12th century Koutoubia Mosque. Its height (67m tall) makes of the Mosque’ minaret a landmark for navigating the city. The mosque’s interior is not open to tourists, but you can still take a walk in its garden. As you walk around it, you will learn from much about its history and the 5 pillars of Islam, along with other religious matters. From here, we head and continue our exploring adventure by getting deep into the maze and labyrinths of Marrakech Medina. We will touch together the beauty and the colors of the horseshoe arches, Riads doors, fountains and much more!

During the tour, we will get close as well to Morocco in terms of many issues such as the variety of cultures, people, languages, traditions, economy, political system and other topics. Such topics would enrich our walking and make it more enjoyable!


Carry out with your historical and cultural journey through the labyrinthine Medina narrow alleyways, until we reach a Hammam. We touch such crucial public place for locals. Continuing our tour we arrive the Jemae Elfna square. Reaching Jamaa Elfna Square, the World Heritage site for culture as UNESCO named it. The lopsided square is the main stage for Moroccan Halqa (the art of storytelling), jugglers, snake charmers, pop musicians and tens of chefs stir vats of steaming snails!

It was a great tour of the Medina. We understood from the description that it would be a maximum of 6 people and there about 12, but still a good experience and recommended.

The guide knew a lot about the city, culture and history and he knew how to deliver the jnformation. Not only he talked about the medina, he also gave us useful information about good and cheap eating spots, where to exchange money, buy different things etc. I strongly recommend the tour.

Great tour for learning more about the local life and history with information I did not hear from other guides or read in a travel guide (for example 12th century water system or communal bread ovens etc). Recommend!
