MARRAKECH CITY
Marrakech is a truly magical destination that offers a vibrant mix of history, culture, and experiences. There are countless reasons why everyone should consider visiting this captivating city. First and foremost, Marrakech is known for its rich history and fascinating architecture. The city is home to iconic landmarks such as the Koutoubia Mosque, the Bahia Palace, and the Saadian Tombs, El Badi Palace, which provide a glimpse into the city’s storied past and the architectural beauty of the region.
One of the most iconic attractions in Marrakech is the Jemaa el Fnaa square, which comes alive with a mesmerizing display of performers, storytellers, food stalls, and traditional musicians as the sun sets. This bustling square offers a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere that showcases the city’s cultural heritage. Marrakech is also a haven for food enthusiasts, offering a diverse array of delicious Moroccan cuisine. From savory tagines to sweet pastries, the city’s culinary scene is a feast for the senses. Visitors can indulge in the local flavors at traditional restaurants, street food stalls, and high-end dining establishments.
The bustling souks (markets) of Marrakech are a major draw for visitors. These vibrant, maze-like marketplaces are filled with a dazzling array of goods, including traditional textiles, ceramics, spices, and handcrafted items. Navigating the narrow alleyways and bargaining with local vendors is an experience that immerses you in the heart of Moroccan daily life and commerce. For those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, there are various luxurious hammams and spas in Marrakech where you can indulge in traditional Moroccan wellness treatments and rituals. These serene oases offer a welcome respite from the city’s lively energy.
Beyond the city limits, Marrakech serves as a gateway to the stunning High Atlas Mountains and the tranquil Agafay Desert. These natural wonders offer opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, camel riding, and even hot air balloon rides, providing a breathtaking contrast to the urban bustle of the city. Finally, the warmth and hospitality of the Moroccan people make a visit to Marrakech a truly memorable experience.

LISA SIMPSON
UKI cannot praise the Fez Food Tour with Asmae enough! I am not a foodie but was looking to discover how food and cooking have a place in Moroccan culture as it seems to be such an intrinsic part. I learnt this and so much more thanks to my foodie expert Asmae. One of the many highlights was visiting the honey souk, learning about the importance of honey in Islam and its healing properties. The tour provides a local’s insight into medina life. It became a cultural tour as much as a food tour, which was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making my time in Fez unforgettable!

Teacher, USAPleasure of meeting Siham in 2018 when we spent a wonderful two weeks there. Siham speaks excellent English, and she was so knowledgeable about her country, and especially Fez. Through her guidance, we were able to experience the culture, history, geography and so much more about Morocco. Siham is so enthusiastic about guiding others to experience a spectacular travel experience. She has a very warm, pleasing personality, and she is patient and kind with a fun sense of humor! We felt totally at ease with Siham and her expertise in guiding us to new adventures and experiences in Morocco!

Artist & Teacher, USAMeryem was one of our tour guides for our trip to Morocco in 2018. We had an excellent food and cultural tour of the medina in Fez, with Meryem educating us on the different areas of the market. She was very excited to teach us about the different spices, teas, honey, produce and meat, as well as the very interesting community bakery. We were able to sample special soups, cheeses and other Moroccan specialties. Meryem spoke English very well. She knew so many of the shop owners, and we were able to meet many of these wonderful Moroccans! She made us feel so comfortable on the tour with her confidence and knowledge of the medina! We highly recommend Meryem as a tour guide for any travel experience in Morocco!

Photographer, USAI had the great pleasure of working with this tour company named Culture Insider to plan a long awaited trip to Morocco. I chose them very carefully. The communications were so easy as they are fluent at English and very responsive along every step of the way. They were open to planning the whole tour or just a portion of it. As an experienced international traveller and previous airline employee I thought I could plan part of the tour independently. I changed my mind and had them take over the entire two week tour. My tour was custom made to perfection.

Dentist, USAFour of us took the Fez Food Tour with a wonderful guide named Meryem. She gave us an insider’s look at the culture of Morocco through its fabulous food. The tour involved wandering through the medina enjoying a variety of small portions. We would never have been able to find these shops on our own. All four of us enjoyed everything. When we return to Morocco we will take the same tour again. Thank you, Meryem, you were a delight.

Attorney, USAA trip to Morocco had always been on my wish list. The staff of Culture Insider made my dream come true. Having experienced the culture I knew I had to return for a second visit. I had fallen in love with colors, food, artwork, architecture, history and people. Morocco was all I had hoped it would be. I will definitely use the services of Culture Insider to make this visit as memorable as the first two.
