Only the best
The extra details that make the trip. One more stop. That hidden corner. Only the best stuff makes it in.
Marrakech by night has to be seen to be believed. When dusk falls over Jemaa el-Fnaa, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the atmosphere is electric. You'll experience it with a private horse-and-carriage tour of the city in the evening, with time to soak up the magic of the square afterwards. Fatima, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘I'd often go by horse and carriage to get to school from my family's riad in the old medina. Horses, donkeys and mopeds are the only way to travel in the narrow alleys, and there are usually pedestrians, too. There's no point trying to rush in the medina.'
Say hello to your horse and driver, then set off on your horse-drawn carriage tour to see the main sights in and around the medina. You'll trot along the 12th-century ramparts and down the main avenue, see the highlights of the Hivernage district, and ride through Bab Jdid, and Bab Ighali, two of Marrakech's ornate city gates. Next, you'll visit the Royal Palace district of Mechouar and head for La Kasbah Mellah, before finishing up at Jemaa el-Fnaa, the UNESCO World Heritage Site that is the beating heart of Marrakech.
By day, it's a spacious town square, but by night it reinvents itself and puts on a spellbinding show. As the sun sinks low, stallholders arrive and set up shop. Acrobats flip. Storytellers enchant their audience. Fortune-tellers twist their cards. And cooks' grills sizzle with sweet-scented street food staples. An unmissable Marrakech experience.
