Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Explore exotic Marakesh on a guided tour celebrating the city's most treasured sights. Board your motorcoach for a scenic drive and begin your tour with a photo opportunity at the Koutoubia Minaret, the largest mosque in Marrakesh. Then, visit the Bahia Place and see why the name means 'Palace of the Beautiful.' Your tour takes you to the lavishly decorated rooms and lovely gardens, built between 1894 and 1900. Enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch with a lively folkloric show, then stroll through the old walled town of Medina and visit the open-air markets known as souks. Continue on to the city's most energetic spot, ironically called Djemaa-el-F'na, which means 'Assembly of the Dead.' This large, open square is home to snake charmers, street performers, soothsayers, and spice vendors. At the completion of your exciting day, enjoy a scenic drive back to port.
