Description:

Go back in time and explore some of Marrakech's historical landmarks. Your knowledgeable guide enlightens you on the intrigue surrounding the city’s illustrious buildings. Partake in one of North Africa’s most famous traditions as you drink a glass of invigorating mint tea.

Visit the austere Koutoubia Mosque and its minaret, a charmingly proportioned example of Hispano-Moresque art rising 252 feet (78 m) into the sky. Discover the El Bahia Palace, a 19th-century building with a 2-acre garden and a haphazard arrangement of inner courtyards and apartments. See the Saadian Tombs, which are intricately decorated with engravings, colorful tiles, and Arabic script.

Witness the collection of art historian Bert Flint on display in the Tiskiwin House, a marvelous exhibition of native crafts from the caravan routes in the Atlas and Saharan regions. Drink a glass of mint tea on the way, see some craftsmanship, or visit a Berber apothecary to buy some spices or magic potions.
