Start your journey in Marrakesh, a city with more nicknames than most. As Morocco’s fourth-largest city and its most popular, Marrakesh serves as the base for several day trips. Today’s activities will depend on your arrival time, with plenty to explore in and around the old town. Getting lost is easy—but with your private tour guide, you’ll discover Marrakesh’s impressive attractions, including palaces, city views, a citadel, garden oases, tanneries, mosques, and more.
During your tour, you may visit Rahba Kedima, a bustling area where locals sell fruit, vegetables, and chickens. Wander through Souk Semarine Market, full of clothing, merchants, and trinkets, and explore Souk Haddadin Market, the traditional ironworker’s quarter now home to a variety of shops. Stop at Souk des Teinturiers Market to see dyers’ workshops, then Souk el-Attarine Market with its lamp, teapot, and mirror shops. High-end shopping awaits at Kissaria Market, featuring designer lanterns, glassware, Berber rugs, fashion, and antiques, while Souk Cherifia Market is the best destination for designer clothes, accessories, and homeware. Visit Criee Berbere, the old slave market now selling carpets, and explore the miscellaneous shops of Sidi Ishaq Market and Albiyyaddine Market. End your tour at Jemma El-Fnaa Square, Marrakesh’s main square, alive with street vendors and food stalls.
If you finish early, attractions set for Day 4 may be added today. Conversely, any sites you cannot visit today will be rolled over to Day 4.
Note: If you cannot fly directly to Marrakesh, a connecting flight from Casablanca or a land transfer from Casablanca to Marrakesh will be arranged.
