The Ben Youssef Madrasa, located in the heart of Marrakech’s medina, is one of the largest Islamic colleges in Morocco. Founded in the 14th century and rebuilt in the 16th century by the Saadians, it once housed up to 900 students. The architecture is a masterpiece of Islamic art, featuring intricately carved stucco, sculpted cedar wood, and colorful zellige tilework. A large central courtyard with a reflecting pool enhances the harmony of its design. A symbol of knowledge and spirituality, the madrasa reflects the historical importance of religious education in Morocco. Closed as a school in 1960, it is now a preserved monument open to visitors.
The Secret Garden, located in the heart of Marrakech’s medina, is a beautifully restored 19th-century palace complex that showcases traditional Islamic art and garden design.

had a really great time on our tour with Ali. It was such a nice mix of culture, history, and local life. We loved visiting Le Jardin Secret and the beautiful Medersa Ben Youssef — both were truly impressive. Walking through the souks was a highlight, with all the colors, spices, and herbs. We learned so much about Moroccan oils and traditions in a very relaxed and enjoyable way. Ali made everything easy to understand and fun. We really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend this tour!
Thank you so much! We’re really happy you enjoyed the tour with Ali and discovering the souks, artisans, and herbalist. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us. Hope to see you again soon with Marrakech Untold Stories!
Ali knows the city SO well. He had so much knowledge of history and was able to get us to the Bahia Palace and other destinations so quickly. We also got to skip several very long lines being with him which I'm sure saved us hours from our day. Would highly recommend! Marrakech is such a beautiful city and Ali will make sure you see the best parts!
It's my great pleasure to run tours for good people!
Communication was great, not sure we got Ali and some questions about places not clearly answered. Somehow we didn’t visit Bahia palace on the tour so a bit disappointed on that. Loved being exposed to little known back streets of the medina
Very thrilled that you appreciated the tour.
Abdul Ali is the best tour guide in Marrakech. I've been in tours all over the world and I could assure you that you won't find any one like him. He is fluent in at least 3 languages, very funny, kind, generous, modest and above all knowledge and intelligent. He will tell you the history in a narrative way full of wisdom and old sayings. I strongly recommend him for any guided tour.
That is Ali in the picture! He was our first exposure to Marrakech art, culture and history. We could not have asked for a more agreeable nor more knowledgeable guide! At first, it is a little overwhelming heading out through the maze that is the Souk on one's own. There are so many textures and colors to see, and so many and sounds and smells to stimulate the senses. We had so many questions and Ali knew how to answer all of them! He had personal stories to illuminate the tour and knew all the secret spots for spices, bread making, leather work, etc. In addition, he was very flexible and adapted the tour to our specific interests. He gave us time to absorb it all and did not rush us. It was a joy to walk with Ali and he took the time to make a personal connection with us. In fact, when he ran into us as we were looking for our excursion by a different company, he even helped us get connected with the other company. He certainly did not have to do that. This is what sets Ali apart. He truly cares about giving a good experience of Marrakech.
Thank you so much for reviewing your experience with marrrakech untold stories , I am also very glad that you enjoyed your tour with me .
The best guide to show you around Marrakech and Mogador. Ali is professional, funny, spread good vibes, not the pushy type and masters english! We embarked in a journey filled with moroccan culture, history, beautiful stories, laughter, delicious food and a lot of shopping. As a native of the region, he showed us plenty of gems in the Old city. From magical gardens, to beautiful monuments, Ali's strong story telling transported us in time and place. We enjoyed the best orange juice in the world and had meals in some of the most authentic restaurants. And most importantly, we bought a lot of authentic dresses, decorations and gifts. We would strongly recommend him to all friends and family.
Thank you very much,and really very happy that you enjoyed your day.

We had such a good time exploring the old town of Marrakech with Ali. We did this tour on our first day and he introduced us to this amazing town with it's lovely people. He made us feel welcome, explained with a lot of humour the culture of the place and showed us hidden gems, that we definitely wouldn't have found on our own. He really knows the place and it's history. The tour was fun and exciting and as additional bonus, we got some photos that Ali made during the trip.

Ali was a great guide, I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. We had a fabulous day with Ali seeing a variety of sights around the city. His knowledge of moroccan history is extraordinary. We had an excellent introduction to the heart of the Medina and learned so much along the way. His presence helped us avoid hustlers and permitted us to see behind the scenes of Marrakesh lights. I highly recommend this tour with Ali !!!
Thank you very much, and really happy that you appreciated the tour
