Touring Marrakech, with a knowledgeable guide. The medina is a densely packed, walled medieval city dating to the Berber Empire, with mazelike alleys where thriving souks (marketplaces) sell traditional textiles, pottery and jewelry. A symbol of the city, and visible for miles, is the Moorish minaret of 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque, along with the place of Djemaa el Fna and the palace of the Bahia. Roll-up for the greatest show on earth, which hits the Unesco-designated. No visit to Morocco would be complete without exploring the country’s desert, and the quintessential camel rides! We offer a variety of tour options, including all-terrain drives, camel rides and hikes. The Ourika Valley, the Atlas Mountains, Ouzoud Falls and the Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou (a UNESCO World Heritage-listed group of clay dwellings that once served as a trading post) are just some of the locales you may see during a desert tour.With plenty of things to do and see in both the medieval and modern parts of town
