Marrakech Day Trip from Casablanca
This guided tour begins with exploring Marrakech's 20th-century district before taking you into the historic heart of the city, the Médina, where centuries-old charm and vibrant culture await.
Overview
This fully guided tour begins with an exploration of Marrakech's 20th-century district, followed by a journey into the historic heart of the city, the Médina. Enclosed within ancient ramparts built by the Almoravid Sultan Youssef Ibn Tachfine, the Médina is a testament to centuries of rich history and culture.
During this comprehensive Marrakech Day Tour, you will visit some of the city's most iconic landmarks. Marvel at the Koutoubia Minaret, completed in 1184 under the reign of the Almohad Caliph Yacoub El Mansour, is a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. Explore the vibrant Majorelle Gardens, created by French painter Jacques Majorelle, famous for its striking “Majorelle blue” and lush vegetation.

Immerse yourself in the living history of Marrakech, where architectural treasures reflect the splendor of bygone dynasties. A city that blends modernity with tradition, Marrakech offers an unparalleled cultural experience.

This palace, built by Vizier Ba Ahmed—who ruled Morocco from 1894 to 1900—features an intricate labyrinth of rooms and courtyards that once housed the French Resident General during the Protectorate era.
To enrich your journey, you may opt to visit additional sites, such as the Saadian Tombs, a majestic garden cemetery that houses the marble tombs of Saadian kings and their families, showcasing the dynasty's power and sophistication. The Dar Si Said Museum, along with other hidden gems, also offers a deeper appreciation of Marrakech's cultural heritage.
