Itinerary

  • Jemaa el-Fnaa

    Destination of all magic, Jamaâ El Fna square tells through its storytellers, dancers, water sellers and snake charmers, the history of Morocco yesterday and today while subjugating its visitors by its charm that starts in the morning and still only reaches its peak in the evening

    15 minutes

  • N/A

    Charming Riad Zitoun Jdid has a number of bistros with rooftop terraces, serving mint tea and European food with Moroccan twists. Riad hotels, in grand former homes with inner courtyards, sit alongside traditional hammams and shops selling pottery, kaftans and leather bags. The 19th-century Bahia Palace has intricately decorated interiors and walled gardens, while Dar Si Siad Museum shows crafts and Berber jewelry.

    15 minutes

  • Mellah

    The narrow alleys of Mellah were once home to the city's Jewish population, as seen in landmarks like the Lazama Synagogue, with its tiled courtyard and exhibits on Jewish life, and the tranquil Miaara Jewish cemetery. Nearby are the lively Mellah Market, with meat and produce, and Bab Mellah Spice Souk.

    45 minutes

  • N/A

    Located in the so called Mechoui Alley behind The Alhambra restaurant in Jemaa el-Fnaa is his unmissable stand adorned with sheep’s heads and ‘Tangia’ crock pots. The meat-pot meals are cooked in the ashes of the coals from the local bathhouse. Most come during the day for the succulent Mechoui but the beef pots are served all day and are every bit as delicious. The juices that pool at the bottom of the bowl are a treat with the local bread

    1 hour 15 minutes

  • Souk Semmarine

    Considered the main artery of the souks of the Medina, Souk Semmarine is accessible from Place Jemaa El Fna, in a derb (alley in the medina) bearing the same name. A name he holds from the farriers who once occupied this strategic place to shoe the animals of the caravanners, while the latter did their usual shopping.

Highly recommended tour.

Published on Mar, 2025

It was a very useful experience and the guide was super knowledgeable. We were glad we did it on the first day we arrived in Marrakech. The tour helped us get to know the huge market of Marrakech. Highly recommended!

Great way to start our holiday in Marrakech!

Published on Feb, 2025

As first-time travellers to Morocco, we were nervous about finding our way around and finding good places to eat. When we arrived in the main square it was quite overwhelming, so we were really glad we had booked a Guided tour! The meeting point was central and should have been easy to find but we accidentally wandered past. We did find our way back though, and our guide Jihad arrived shortly ahead of time to meet us as arranged. We were in a small group of 6 other UK tourists which was just the right size. Jihad spoke amazing English (as well as an impressive 4 other languages for other nationality tourists!), and he was so passionate about the culture and food history of Marrakech that we were soon made to feel very welcome and immersed ourselves in the experience - the whole evening was wonderful! We walked at little around the Souks and main square to the different tastings. We tried Moroccan flat bread, donuts, mint tea, soup and at the end the traditional dish of Marrakech, beef Tangia, which was delicious! At each stop Jihad gave us lots of really interesting information about the traditional food, cooking and imports to Morocco. He was so friendly and funny, and really did know the best and safest places to eat. We also visited the olive market and a spice stall (which was optional with no selling at all). Being with a guide for our first evening was so reassuring and really gave us a sense of where we were so we could go on to find our own way around (and good places to eat!) throughout the rest of our stay. I would really recommend this tour for first-time visitors and return visitors who'd like to try some new foods and learn more about the culture here in Marrakech. The price was really reasonable for all the food we had, made extra special by Jihad's excellent knowledge and friendly guidance. Also we were relieved that we didn't get served snails or sheep's head - phew! Brilliant! Thank you so much. Sakura & Ben

Great gastronomic experience around Marrakesh markets

Published on Feb, 2025

Great experience, chatty guide (Gihad) who was very knowledgeable. Good variety of Moroccan food and drink

Great Intro to Moroccan food and Marrakech

Published on Feb, 2025

We opted to take this tour on the first night of our trip and to help orientate us a little to the busy city. A great introduction to Marrakech and Moroccan food was provided by Ayoub. We went to many authentic food stall, market stalls and a wonderful restaurant serving tagiers. Ayoub was lovely company and gave us lots of insight into Marrakech and the culture. Thank you and would definitely recommend.

Great food tour in Marrakesh

Published on Jan, 2025

This was my first tour in Marrakesh and it was a great way to learn about the local food culture as well as to learn on how to navigate in Marrakesh. We visited 4 spots by foot in different locations, having the opportunity to learn about the food preparation and history and try traditional street foods and to visit q traditional restaurant to try the delicious tanjia and Harrita soup at the market. The guide was super friendly and knowledgeable and I definitely recommend the tour!
