It has always been a vibrant city, full of exotic sights, sounds and smells-perhaps a shock for the senses! Meet your guide for a half-day tour of the Medina and explore the rich history and culture of the Medina. Start the day west of Jemaa el-Fna, then walk to the striking minaret of Koutoubia Mosque and Gardens. The 253-foot (77 m) high minaret is the tallest tower ever built in Marrakech.

As you walk in the alleys of Marrakech, pay attention to Fondouks or Caravanserai, medieval inns on the ancient trade routes, providing shelter and supplies for travelers and merchants. Today, some have been converted into residential properties, while others are large shopping areas and workshops that you can explore. Depending on your energy level, you may wish to visit several attractions south of Jemaa el-Fna.

You will travel this morning to Casablanca via the coastal route and visit two ancient Portuguese fortified cities along the way. Your first stop is El Jadida, where you will visit the unforgettable beautiful Portuguese Cistern. You can also stay and walk the city walls and explore the Church of the Assumption.

Next is Azemour, which has inspired many Moroccan artists for decades, some of whom choose to live here. Despite being close to the cosmopolitan art market in Casablanca, life here is still traditional. The crumbling medina of the 16th century between Oud Er-Rbia and the ocean provides a lot of artistic inspiration.

Enjoy delicious fish for lunch and make the most of the incredibly rich resources of the Atlantic Ocean. Your driver can take you to the local fish market, where the humble food stall serves some of the freshest grilled and fried seafood you can find.

Start your journey of discovery in Maarif, where the French market of the same name is located, and Ain Diab, the main seaside community with Moroccan shopping malls and miles of walking trails.
