Marrakech is always interesting and there is always something or even lots of things you can do:

 

- A Visit to the Jemaa El Fna Square, where you can enjoy some street food and drink fresh fruit juice, or you can just rest and chill in one of the cafés, enjoy the view of the old medina from above and admire the Koutoubia Mosque .

 

- Immersion in The old Medina, you can actually start from Jemaa El Fna Square to go deep into the medina of Marrakech, and get lost in the small alleys where you can find small workshops, the neighborhood Hammam (Traditional Spa), also the traditional “Oven” where homemade bread is baked.

In Medina, you will attend in-depth explanations on the architecture of the medina, the essential public places in each district, the origin of the culture of its inhabitants and their lifestyles… a lifestyle which still resists the effects of modern life!
