Day 1: Discovering Marrakech’s Historic Heart

Starting at 77 Derb Lalla Chacha, you’ll be picked up by your guide and transportation, ready to explore the city’s historic core. Your guide, an official local with deep knowledge, will lead you through the city’s most revered landmarks, including:

Walking through the back alleys of the souks, you’ll spot artisans at work, whether weaving rugs, carving wood, or crafting leather. Crossing the caravan Serail and observing the public hammams will give you a glimpse of local life, practices, and traditions.
