This private custom-made Marrakech city tour lasts between four and eight hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off in a brand-new air-conditioned minivan. A multilingual driver assists throughout the tour, and a certified local guide can be included if selected. The tour begins with a visit to the Majorelle Garden, where visitors spend about forty-five minutes walking along shaded paths among exotic plants, water features, and pools. The garden’s French-influenced design and its connection to the French designer Yves Saint Laurent and painter-botanist Jacques Majorelle are explained. Next, the tour moves to the Saadian Tombs located within the Royal Kasbah in the southern part of the ancient medina. Visitors spend around thirty minutes exploring this 16th-century burial site, rediscovered in 1917, known for its decorative beauty and historical significance to the Saadian dynasty. Afterward, the Bahia Palace is visited for about one hour. This late 19th-century palace, constructed over six years by skilled artisans, was intended to be the greatest palace of its time. The tour continues with a guided one-hour walk through Marrakech’s Old Medina. The certified guide leads visitors through some of the oldest quarters, highlighting Moorish architecture, mosques, and daily life. The walk includes the famous Djemaa El Fna square and the souks, where tightly packed stalls display a variety of Moroccan goods and crafts. Following the Medina, the Medersa Ben Youssef is visited for approximately forty-five minutes. This 14th-century Islamic school, once the largest in North Africa, is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The final stop is the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, dedicated to the designer’s work in Marrakech, where visitors spend about thirty minutes. Note that the museum is closed on Wednesdays.
