Marrakech Palaces and Monuments Tour

Marrakech, Morocco

See amazing Palaces and Monuments on a morning tour of Marrakech which includes the sweet smelling gardens of Bahia Palace, Koutoubia Tower with its 70 meter high minaret and the recently discovered Saadian Tombs.

See the famous Koutoubia Tower, the largest mosque in Marrakech with a 70 meter high minaret. The tower is a great example of Hispano-Moorish art. Continue to Bahia Palace which is surrounded by beautiful gardens filled with fruit trees and sweet smelling flowers. Built in the 19th century, the palace was intended to be the greatest Palace of its time.

Leaving Bahia Palace you will continue to the cedar wood domes and marble columns of the Saadian Tombs. Dating back to the time of Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur (1578-1603), the tombs were only discovered in 1917 and their subsequent restoration have made them one of the most popular attractions for visitors to Marrakech.

Your last stop will be the Tiskiwin Museum, a beautiful double riad containing the private collection of folk arts belonging to Dutch collector Bert Flint. You will also see examples of Moroccan handicrafts at Dar Nejjarine before returning to your Marrakech hotel.

The trip was on time, but there was lot of un-neccessary walking through dirty markets and constant uncomfortable remarks by the tour guide. An experience not to be repeated!

Late collection,guide difficult to understand,not enough visits to the important places. The visit was padded by visits to carpet vendor etc andwas cut short by about 2 hours

Not a bad tour. I was quite annoyed by the tour guide who felt that we should have spoken French. We felt as if we were an inconvenience because we spoke English.

The main problem with the tour was that the hotel we stayed in has 2 receptions but no one at the tour company told me this when I phoned to confirm as requested. In consequence we waited at the reception where we were dropped off throughout our stay and missed the tour on the allotted date. Fortunately the tour company fitted us in on the next day's trip but this was with the Discovery of Marrakech group and did not give us the full tour on which we were booked. I think you should ensure that the local office advise tourists which reception they will collect from to avoid confusion for future travelers!
