The Koutoubia Mosque is a religious building built in the 12th century in Marrakech (Morocco). Its architecture and its ascetic decor.
The Place de Jemaa el-Fna is the central square of Marrakech and the most important place in the Medina, where the public life of Marrakech takes place day and night.
The souks of the medina of Marrakech are veritable labyrinths of stalls and artisan workshops, organized by neighborhood and by trade and bring together more than 2,600 Moroccan artisans for around twenty corporations. The main souk extends through the center of the medina, from the north of the famous Jemaa el-Fna square to the Medersa Ben Youssef. The central alleys which cross the souks are reserved for sales stalls originally supplied by the artisans who work in the adjacent alleys.
Explore the vibrant heart of Marrakech with a visit to the historic **Medina**. Wander through its winding alleys, where you’ll discover bustling souks, vibrant markets, and hidden treasures. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of this UNESCO World Heritage site, from colorful textiles and spices to traditional crafts and street food.

A medium paced stroll around the historic area of the city was perfect for the mid 20s temperature. I think the narrow streets of the medina may be a bit claustraphobic in mid summer. The variety of artisan stalls is fantastic, a shoppers paradise. The lunch at a local restaurant was lovely, recommend Beef Tagina. The guide, Akram, was informative, friendly and patient.
Thank you very much for your good review
