Within the labyrinth of the Medina (Old Town) you will find Marrakech's colorful souks (open-air markets). These souks are among Morocco’s most famous and display colorful and richly varied wares. Shop for hand-crafted slippers, traditional woodwork, brass, iron and bronze artifacts, jewellery, kaftans, carpets, spices and pottery.

At the heart of the Medina is Marrakech's most famous souk the Djemaa El Fna square. Here acrobats, snake charmers and Gnawa musicians offer astonishing shows and you can sample some authentic Moroccan cuisine. UNESCO has hailed it as ‘Masterpiece of World Heritage’.

This tour is a unique opportunity to penetrate the heart and the soul of Marrakech.
