Koutoubia Mosque - Morocco’s most famous mosque built in the
12th century whose minaret is regarded as symbol of Marrakech.
*The Saadien Tombs - erected
in the 16th century by the Saadien Dynasty
*The Bahia Palace - an ancient
palace where Morocco’s most famous vizirs lived
*The
Menara basin - built for military exercises in the 12th
century and used as a summer house for vizirs

Visit
to souks and Jamaa El Fna Square: The souks are a maze of
hundreds of shops, stalls, small streets and narrow alleyways.
This is indeed a feast for the senses with rows of spices,
perfumed oils, magic potions, silver, gold, brass, kaftans,
slippers, leather goods, carpets and rugs. This is just a
small idea of what you will find in the souks. We then proceed
to Jamaa El Fna Square where you will find thousands of people
milling around either selling, buying or just watching. This
incredible show goes on all around you at a furious pace while
story tellers continue telling their stories.
