Programme of the day

Morning Explore the Medina and Souks

Begin your day in the heart of Marrakech’s vibrant Medina. Dive into the bustling souks, where the air is perfumed with spices and the colors of artisan crafts dazzle. Follow the maze of narrow streets where artisans practice their traditional crafts, creating everything from leather goods to intricate metalwork. Visit the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, where storytellers, musicians, and snake charmers vie for your attention. It’s a sensory overload of sights, sounds, and smells—an unforgettable start to your Marrakech experience.

Midday Visit Historical Landmarks

Refresh with a traditional Moroccan lunch at a local riad before continuing to some of Marrakech’s most significant historical sites. Tour the majestic Koutoubia Mosque, whose minaret dominates the skyline. Then, head to the Bahia Palace, a stunning example of Moroccan architecture and history, featuring intricate marquetry and expansive gardens. Finish your historical tour at the Saadian Tombs, where you’ll discover the beauty and intricacy of Moroccan tile work and carvings.

Afternoon Relax in Majorelle Garden

After the hustle and bustle of the Medina and historical sites, find peace in the Majorelle Garden. Created by French painter Jacques Majorelle and later restored by Yves Saint Laurent, this iconic garden is a serene oasis of exotic plants and vibrant colors, with vivid blues and lush greens providing a perfect backdrop for relaxation and reflection.

An Amazing Experience We had an AMAZING experience in Morocco! Mustapha was exceptional in helping us plan our two week adventure, secure the best guides in each city, ensure our lodgings, meals, and excursions were top-notch. He was kind, professional, knowledgeable and simply the best. We always felt safe and in the best care. We can’t wait to recommend Mustapha to other friends! Thank you for filling our memory bank with joy

A safe, pleasant and educational trip in Morocco We had Mustafa as our safe, reliable and friendly guide and driver for almost four weeks. He contributed great knowledge of both geography, history, and culture. We also learned a lot about the modern Morocco and the rapid changes and advances made in the school system and training, industry, business and agriculture. We would like to come back another time, and most preferably with Mustafa as the driver, guide and very knowledgeable and nice travel accompaniment.

Amazing trips with Mustapha in Morocco We have done two trips with Mustapha in Morocco and both were incredible. He both guided us to amazing experiences and was also very responsive to our desires and needs. Whenever we had a challenge (which was rare), he helped us solve it. He now feels like part of the family. I could not recommend partnering with Mustapha more for your next trip to Morocco.

60 years in the desert Great experience with family and for my birthday. Beautiful discovery of a piece of desert of Merzouga and its camp in the middle of the dunes.

Phenomenal experience. What a phenomenal experience. Mustapha was the consummate host. Entertaining, funny and ever present. He is both proud and knowledgeable about his native and beautiful country. The tours are all inclusive of meals, hotels and entrance fees to the various attractions en route. All were faultless as was his skilful driving on the rough off road terrain. I cannot recommend Mustapha and his tours highly enough. I would definitely book him again.
