About this activity

This is a completely private tour, reserved just for you and your group, complete with convenient hotel pickup and drop-off for a smooth and comfortable experience.

Enjoy a full day of exploration through Marrakech’s contrasting worlds. You’ll discover some of the city’s most iconic sights: take in the grandeur of the Koutoubia Mosque, one of the largest in the western Islamic world; admire the beautifully preserved Bab Agnaou gate; and stroll through the exquisite rooms and courtyards of Bahia Palace. Experience the energy of Jemaa El Fnaa Square, then wander through the maze-like souks and narrow lanes of the Medina, arriving at Ben Youssef Madrasa, a former Quranic school known for its intricate architecture.

The tour also includes a visit to the serene Majorelle Garden in the modern city, and if you wish, you can explore the nearby Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé Museums.

The Berber Museum, opened in 2011 under the esteemed patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI of Morocco, is located in the former art studio of painter Jacques Majorelle. It offers a captivating overview of the remarkable artistry of the Berber people (Imazighen), the oldest known inhabitants of North Africa.

Designed by French architectural duo Studio KO (Olivier Marty and Karl Fournier), the museum is located on Rue Yves Saint Laurent, right beside the renowned Jardin Majorelle. Spanning more than 4,000 m², the space offers much more than exhibitions. It includes a 400 m² gallery with a permanent display of Yves Saint Laurent’s creations, a 150 m² space for temporary exhibits, a 130-seat auditorium, a boutique, a café with outdoor seating, and a research library containing 5,000 volumes.
Gueliz

Avenue Mohammed V serves as the main link between the historic Medina and Gueliz, the modern hub of Marrakech. Popular among expats, Gueliz features wide boulevards dating back to the French colonial era. It’s lined with elegant Moroccan and European eateries, stylish bars, cabarets, art galleries, and well-known fashion outlets.
