Marrakech: Souks & Stories
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Arrival in Marrakech
Upon arrival at Marrakech airport, our driver will take you to your hotel in the new part of the city, about a half-hour drive away. The hotel, adorned with colourful mosaic tiles has spacious family rooms. Relax by the pool or take a quick trip to Djemaa el Fna, the famous central square, just a 10-minute taxi ride away. Explore the souks, with their vibrant stalls and local crafts.
For a quieter experience, enjoy the view from one of the rooftop terraces overlooking the square, where you can watch storytellers and snake charmers below. When evening falls, dine at the food stalls in the square.
Day 2 – Guided walking tour with storyteller
After lunch, meet your English-speaking guide for a walking tour of the city. Your storyteller will share tales of sultans as they guide you through the Mellah district, the Moorish Palace of Bahia, and the bustling souks. The 3-hour tour ends at Djemaa El Fna square. This activity is great for children up to ten years old. For teenagers, we recommend exploring Marrakech by bike or joining a cooking workshop.
In the afternoon, explore Marrakech at your own pace. Wander through the medina, shop for souvenirs, or relax by the hotel pool.
Day 3 – Departure from Marrakech
After breakfast, your time in Marrakech comes to an end. You can collect your rental car from here and visit Ait Benhaddou and the Atlas Mountains. For if you’d prefer the bus then visit the fishing village of Essaouira.
