Visiting the Marrakech medina: a must

Exploring the medina on your own can be bewildering. With its countless alleyways, souks and hidden passages, it is easy to get lost. A guided tour not only lets you find your way without stress, but also gives you a deeper understanding of the history and cultural richness of Marrakech. With a local guide by your side, you will enjoy in-depth explanations of each place you visit, anecdotes about daily life and tips for making the most of your stay.

A tailor-made itinerary for an unforgettable experience

Riad Hermès offers tours tailored to its guests’ wishes. Among the highlights of a guided tour of the Marrakech medina, you can discover:

  • Jemaa El Fna square, the lively heart of the city with its storytellers, musicians and street vendors.
  • The Koutoubia, the largest mosque in Marrakech, whose minaret dominates the skyline.
  • The traditional souks, where artisans, fragrant spices and objets d’art come together.
  • The Bahia Palace, an architectural jewel of the Saadian era.
  • The Ben Youssef Madrasa, a former Koranic school of breathtaking beauty.

Each tour can be personalised to suit your interests and pace. You can linger in a craft workshop, enjoy a mint tea on a panoramic terrace or explore little-known corners of the medina.
