Day trip exploring Marrakech
During the tour you will get to know the “red city” of Marrakech, which is also called the Berber capital of Morocco. This city has a thousand-year history and was the capital of Morocco in the 11th-13th centuries.
Let’s start the tour with a visit to the luxurious and exotic Majorelle Garden , which once belonged to the great couturier Yves Saint Laurent.
Next, we will see the symbol of Marrakech – the XII century Koutoubia Mosque . (external examination, entry to non-Muslims is prohibited). The balance of architecture and elegant decor made the building one of the most beautiful monuments of the Maghreb.
Walk along the main square of Djemaa el Fna, which in translation means “area of severed heads”, because once upon a time criminals were executed on it. Life is in full swing here day and night, and it is here that you can see the whole flavor of Marrakech:
snake charmers and monkey trainers, gnaua musicians and acrobats, henna painters and fortune tellers, water peddlers and traditional healers.
Let’s dive into the maze of Marrakesh’s bazaars . They are divided into specialized quarters, through which you can wander indefinitely. The abundance of colors, sounds and smells is amazing.
The spice market, the grandmother market, the fabric and caftan market, the chased goods market, the carpet market… These are just a few of what you can see here. Suddenly, behind an inconspicuous wall, one of the most beautiful palaces of Morocco, the Bahia Palace, will open to us.
built in the 18th century Once upon a time, a close Sultana lived here with his 4 wives, 24 concubines and numerous children. Let’s take a tour of its richly decorated halls and mosaic patios with gardens.
Lunch at a restaurant in Jemaa El Fna Square . This ancient palace, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built in the 18th century. and once the Pasha (ruler) of Marrakesh lived in it. Sitting on a shady patio under orange trees, we can taste the best of Moroccan cuisine.
Excursion to the Anima fantasy garden(40 min drive from the city center). Anima Garden is one of the most beautiful fantasy gardens in the world. The creator of the garden is the world-famous artist Andre Heller, originally from Vienna. Here you can touch the works of Picasso with your hands, take a nap in a hammock in the shade of trees, try to find the hidden meaning of art objects, meditate under the murmur of the fountain, dream and just relax. After visiting the garden – a coffee break with Moroccan sweets in a cozy art cafe.
Return to the hotel.
