See the thriving culture and impressive history of Marrakech, from the towering minaret of Koutoubia Mosque to the souks of the old Medina. With the company of a personal guide, this journey shows you the landmarks and traditions that have made this one of the most dynamic cities in the Maghreb.

After you meet your guide and set out from your hotel, get a look at one of the most impressive sights in Marrakech. Built in the 12th century, the Koutoubia Mosque is one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the western Muslim world. A visit to the Ben Youssef Madrasa shows you Morocco's largest Islamic university in the Maghreb, housed in the Moorish décor of a 14th-century building.

Get a look of the Alaouite-style palace of the Dar Si Saïd Museum, home to a variety of southern Moroccan crafts such as furniture, carpets, weapons, pottery, costumes, and jewelry.

Next, admire the delicate decorations and pure architectural lines of the Saadian Tombs and head west of the city for a visit to the tree-lined lake of the Menara gardens. Admire the snow-covered peaks before you return to Marrakech for some time in the intricate maze of craftwork, food, and spices in the souks.

Round up your experience with a stop at Djemaa El Fna, a lively market and traditional meeting place, before the ride back to your hotel.
