The journey
The medina of Marrakech is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, and it is much easier to read with someone who grew up in it. Your guide starts at the Koutoubia Mosque and walks you through the Mellah, the old Jewish quarter, to the Ben Youssef Madrasa, the craft souks and the tanneries, ending in Djemaa El-Fna. Along the way you stop for mint tea in a riad, and the route bends to whatever interests you.
- Your own guide for four hours
- Ben Youssef Madrasa, the old Koranic college
- The leather tanneries, seen from a rooftop
- The spice souk and an argan oil cooperative
- Djemaa El-Fna square
- Mint tea in a riad garden
