After breakfast, the "Red City '' welcomes you with its majesty filled with palaces, gardens, markets, and mosques! We first see the Koutoubia Mosque with its 282ft minaret, an architectural landmark dating back to the late 12th century. Continue to the 19th century stunning Bahia Palace and discover the intricate work done by the local artisans to decorate this splendid home. The building includes one hundred and fifty rooms, countless courtyards and interior gardens, labyrinthic corridors, a Koranic school, hammams, a harem, and stables. From there we will start exploring artisan quarters and the colorful Souks to intermingle with the real life of Marrakech people. Stop for lunch at a restaurant in the medina. After lunch, continue to Dar El Bacha Museum of Confluences. Built in 1910, it was the residence of Thami El Glaoui, named Pasha of Marrakech by Sultan Moulay Youssef in 1912. It is one of the medina's finest examples of Riad architecture, dripping with Moroccan Zellige (colorful geometric tilework), intricate white plasterwork, and heavy carved cedar-wood lintels. Then we visit Jemaa El F'na, an open-air square surrounded by restaurants, stands and public buildings. It provides various forms of entertainment with fortune tellers, henna artists, fire eaters, story tellers, musicians and acrobats. The tour will end in the early evening and then we'll go for a traditional hammam. A hammam is a traditional Moroccan Spa, a place where space and time speak an ancient language. You will be immersed in total relaxation listening to your own body in reconciliation with yourself in an atmosphere filled with water, oils, essences, and perfumes. Enjoy a 30-min. scrub done by expert hands with black soap or soothing spices eliminating toxins from your body. After the Hammam, sway to the massage room where you will experience a 30-min. traditional Moroccan massage to eliminate tensions and gain energy and vitality. Tea is served in a relaxing room before you leave. Back to your hotel to get ready for our group dinner.
