- Jemaa el-Fnaa - Djemaa El Fna square is a bustling hub where hundreds of locals gather daily to enjoy storytellers, musicians, snake charmers, acrobats, jugglers, and a variety of performers.
- Koutoubia Mosque - The Koutoubia is Marrakech’s largest and oldest mosque, featuring a magnificent 70-meter high minaret.
- Mellah - The Mellah in Marrakech, the city’s Jewish Quarter, was founded in the 16th century under Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur’s rule. It was established to accommodate the growing Jewish community, who were often engaged in trade, craftsmanship, and medicine. Jews had been in Morocco for centuries, but the Mellah became their central hub in Marrakech.
Over the years, the Mellah thrived with numerous synagogues, schools, and businesses, forming a vibrant community. However, in the 20th century, many Jews emigrated, particularly after Morocco gained independence in 1956. The Jewish population in Marrakech, and Morocco overall, significantly decreased, yet the Mellah remains a vital symbol of Jewish history in the city. Today, it is a prominent tourist attraction, featuring historic synagogues, the Jewish cemetery, and remnants of its once-thriving community.
- Bahia Palace - Begin your tour with a walk through the old town in Medina, then visit the El Bahia Palace. Dive into Morocco’s imperial history as you explore this magnificent royal residence, built for the Grand Vizier Sultan Moulay El Hassan I.
Next, admire the palace’s fountains, gardens, impressive living quarters, and several shaded courtyards, which are not open to the public. Listen to your guide share the history of the grounds as you explore.
Finally, enter the apartments of the Vizier’s favorite concubine and the council chamber. Appreciate the illuminated cedarwood ceiling and tiled walls, then marvel at the expansive marbled central courtyard with its numerous fountains and zelliges.

Rahba Kedima Square - Renowned for spice shops, traditional remedies, herbs, and natural cosmetics
• Surrounded by Berber baskets, carpets, lamps, and handicrafts
• A genuine place where locals shop, not just tourists
• Small cafés upstairs offer a beautiful view over the square
Historical touch:
The word Rahba means a market square, and Lakdima means old — it has been a trading place for centuries, especially for spices and daily goods.
- Food Markets of Marrakech - The food market in the Medina of Marrakech is vibrant with life, colors, and authentic flavors. Near Jemaa el-Fnaa, you’ll find fresh vegetables, olives, spices, herbs, dates, and traditional bread. It’s a lively place where locals shop daily and visitors experience the true taste of Marrakech.
- Souk Semmarine - Close to the expansive Djemaa El Fna, Souq Semmarine is a bustling row of artisan shops. It is also a major tourist attraction in the Moroccan city. Be aware that prices are considerably higher for everything here. Entering from Jemaa el Fna square to the opening of the Great Bazaar requires taking smaller alleys from the right or left.
