Itinéraire
La place Jamaa Alfna (en amazighe : ⴰⴱⴰⵔⴰⵣ ⵏ ⵊⴰⵎⵄ ⵍⴼⵏⴰ, en arabe : ساحة جامع الفنا, « place de la mosquée des trépassés ») est une célèbre place publique au sud-ouest de la médina de Marrakech au Maroc. Ce haut-lieu traditionnel, populaire et animé notamment la nuit attire plus d'un million de visiteurs chaque année. Jemaa el-Fna incarne la diversité de l’identité marocaine en raison de la présence de représentants des différentes cultures qui constituent le Maroc : Arabes, Berbères, Gnaouas1. « L'espace culturel de la place Jemaa el-Fna » est inscrit patrimoine culturel immatériel depuis 2008 (proclamation en 2001) et au patrimoine mondial depuis 1985 par l'Unesco2.
Une première mosquée fut construite en 1148 par le sultan Almohade Abdelmoumen après avoir conquis Marrakech. Il reconstruira une deuxième version de taille semblable vers 1158. Celle-ci est la version actuelle, la première ayant été démolie. Abu Yusuf Ben Tachafin finalisera la construction du minaret vers 11953. La Koutoubia est considérée comme un important exemple d'architecture almohade et de l'architecture des mosquées marocaines de manière générale3. Le minaret de 77 mètres est décoré de différents motifs géométriques et surmonté d'une flèche et d'orbes métalliques. Il a probablement inspiré d'autres bâtiments tels que la Giralda de Séville et la tour Hassan de Rabat, qui ont été construits peu de temps après à la même époque4,5,6,7. Le minaret est également considéré comme un repère urbain et un symbole important de Marrakech.
La médina de Marrakech est une médina marocaine, cœur historique de Marrakech. Elle forme un des cinq arrondissements que compte la commune urbaine de Marrakech. On fait une visite de La medina ancienne , Cartier des juifs

The tour guide was very friendly and informative, we had a great time. The journey didn’t feel that long. Got plenty of time to go around the markets as well and took u to a nice place for lunch
thank you so much
The guide spoke excellent English and everything ran smoothly. You had the choice to go into Marrakech independently and I did. The guide is pleasant on the bus and occasionally checks how everyone is doing. Top day!
thank you so much
A highly recommended excursion; going to Marrakech is always a good option. The guide was very attentive; the only thing is that they could offer the option to translate into Spanish.
thank you so much
Great trip to the Marrakesh. Great to see the market with the tour guide as otherwise you can get lost easily
thank you so much
The trip was managed well with guide speaking in four languages. Overall they took us to Marrakesh in air conditioned coach and then in Marrakesh guide took us to mosque, old houses and market. After that we went to restaurant had some free time and then trip back to Agadir. Great service
thank you so much
Long drive from Agadir, but worth it. Our guide Abdul was very good, although it would be nice not to run so fast thru Medina and other places. On the other hand during free time we could visit these again at own pace. The only drawback was a tourist-trap restaurant to which we were taken (mediocre food quality), it would be nice if it was announced ahead that we do not need to eat there. Overall - good experience!
thank you so much
Went on my own but was really fun and safe, they picked us up from our individual hotels and I had a wonderful time and learnt a lot!
thank you Aruba
It was a hot day in marakesh, but we enjoyed the time there. We were impressed about the souk market. Our guide was a nice man and well experienced.
thank you so much you are welcome again
We didn't get much free time to shop although we were told we would get one hour. The dinner was exactly the same food as the lunch, which was disappointing. The guide was excellent though, speaking in 3 languages and very knowledgeable.
thank you
Good driver. Stop at service station for WC and optional refreshments on the way there and back. Poor toilet facilities with no running water on the way to Marrakech. The tour guide Abdullah, gave quite sketchy information in 3 languages. The group was in excess of 30 ( nearer 40). He did well to keep us altogether but far too many people to be wandering through the medina and souk. In addition the outside of Koutubia Mosque was visited. We were disappointed not to be able to visit Bahia Palace. It was given as an option after lunch with some guidance how to find it. Got there at 14:45 to find it was closing due to the opening hours being 9 - 3 throughout the month of Ramadan. We are astounded that the guide did not know that as we were near to the end of Ramadan. It should therefore have been offered as the first stop when we arrived. Would have preferred to have chosen our own lunch stop rather than the guides choice as the food was uninspiring.
thank you for your review
