About this experience
Shop for traditional crafts, spices, dried fruit, basketwork, clothes, wool, carpets, jewellery, and more in Marrakech's old medina. Make your way around narrow streets to explore the souks, including Rue du Souk Smarine, which leads into the Place rahba Kedima—once slave market, now a bustling commercial hub. Then, visit Djemaa El Fna, a historic square that was the former meeting place for peasants and merchants from the Sous region.

Frequently asked questions
Where exactly do I meet the guide?
Meet in front of the Post Office on Djemaa El Fna Square at 2:30 PM. The Post Office is a prominent landmark on the square and easy to find.
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. Your mobile ticket or booking confirmation is all you need — just show it on your phone.
How long does the tour last?
The tour runs from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM, making it approximately three hours in total.
Is this tour suitable for children?
Yes. Children under 2 years old are admitted free of charge. The route is on foot through busy market streets, so a baby carrier is more practical than a pushchair.
Do I need to bring money to spend?
Only if you'd like to buy souvenirs or snacks. Purchases in the souks are not included, and most vendors prefer cash in Moroccan dirhams.
Can the itinerary change?
The route is subject to change due to weather or local conditions, but the core experience — the souks, Rue du Souk Smarine and Djemaa El Fna — remains consistent.
