About This Activity

Meet your guide in front of Cafe ARGANA, where you’ll receive a brief introduction and essential tips for your personalized tour. Please note that entrance fees for historical sites (in Dirhams) are not included in the itinerary.

Your adventure begins in the medieval Medina as you explore the bustling main square, then venture deeper into unique artisanal neighborhoods. Discover a rich tapestry of craftsmanship, from delicate textiles to stunning pottery, as you navigate the winding streets filled with cultural treasures.

Learn about the sacred Hammam tradition in Moroccan culture as you pass by one of the oldest hammams in the region.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant Spice Square, a lively marketplace steeped in centuries of history. Experience the rich tapestry of Moroccan customs and culture as you stroll through this bustling area.

Discover the historic Ben Youssef Madrasa in Marrakech with our knowledgeable guide. Marvel at the exquisite Islamic architecture, featuring intricate mosaics and detailed stucco work that showcase the artistry of the past. As you wander through the student chambers and communal areas, you’ll uncover the rich history of this ancient Quranic school, each step revealing its cultural and architectural significance and offering a captivating glimpse into Morocco's storied heritage.

Discover one of the most powerful families dominating southern Morocco and their relentless pursuit of climbing the hierarchy of power, which has become their obsession. The family patriarch and his sons came to be as close as possible to royalty after allying with tribes to exile the king himself at the time. Today, the Dar el Bacha Museum stands as a historical icon, reflecting the opulence and extravagant wealth of that family. 

At the end of the tour, you’ll have two options: return to the main square or dropped at the Secret Garden, a peaceful Islamic garden adorned with lush greenery, intricate tilework, and serene water features.
