Stop 1
Built in the 12th century, it is one of the oldest and most impressive mosques in the country. Its grandeur and beauty have made it a popular tourist destination, and it is a symbol of the city’s rich history and culture.

Bab Agnaou is a monumental gate forming part of the ramparts of Marrakech in the Kasbah district, in Medina. This heritage bears witness to the grandiose past of the Almohade Berber dynasty, which came to power in the 12th century and had its seat in Marrakech. Its Islamic Caliphate extended from Cordoba in Andalusia to Tripoli in Libya. Bab Agnaou is one of the 19 gates that allows you to enter inside the ramparts of the city of Marrakech. This gate (“bab” in Arabic) served as an entrance to the administrative and military complex of the Caliphal Kasbah, citadel of power, from the south of the city. Flanked by two cannons, it is one of the most impressive gates of Marrakech.

Kasbah Mosque is a historical mosque located near the Saadian Tombs in the Kasbah. It is also known as Moulay El Yazid Mosque as it is located on Place Moulay Yazid. It was constructed in 1190 and you can find Almohad elements in it. Non-Muslims cannot enter it. The mosque has a modernistic minaret. The original mosque was destroyed in a gunpowder explosion in 1569. The whole building was reconstructed in 1960 and has pretty impressive architecture. You can see shops built into the walls and horseshoe arches around this mosque.

The Mellah quarter is a small group of streets located a stone’s throw from the medina, next to the monumental Bahia Palace. Today it’s inhabited by hundereds Jews, but between the 16th and 20th centuries it was home to one of the largest Jewish communities in the country, made up mainly of Jews who had been expelled from the Iberian Peninsula and other European territories.
5
Stunning example of Moroccan architecture and design. Built in the late 19th century, it is a sprawling complex of gardens, courtyards, and rooms that are filled with intricate details and vibrant colors.
6
The souks are the heart of the Marrakech medina and have been the centre for trade in the city a thousand years. Today they're as much a tourist attraction as anything but still have that exotic, chaotic feel. Over 3000 stalls sell everything from tagines and glassware to scarves and spices.
The souks of Marrakech are often a highlight for any traveller. Indeed, the bustling atmosphere, the bargains, the thrill of haggling and the assault on the senses is often a big part of the reason why people take a guided city tour.
