Our organized tours from Marrakech lead you on captivating journeys, spanning the historical Imperial cities, the enchanting Sahara Desert, the picturesque Atlantic Ocean, and the captivating Atlas Mountains.

Marrakech, the vibrant heart of Morocco, holds a rich history dating back centuries. Founded in 1062, the city embodies a fusion of Berber heritage and influences from the Almoravid era, evident in the magnificent mosques and madrasas adorning its landscape. Encircled by the iconic red walls built in the 12th century, Marrakech earned its moniker, the “Red City” or “Ochre City.” This cultural hub became a bustling center for trade, culture, and spirituality, epitomized by the lively Jemaa el-Fnaa, hailed as Africa’s busiest square.

At Indigo Expedition, our Marrakech activities and Morocco tours are thoughtfully designed to immerse you in the essence of this vibrant city and the diverse landscapes that surround it. Join us on a journey steeped in history, culture, and the captivating allure of Morocco.

Is it Okay to Visit MOSQUES in Morocco ?

If you’re hoping to see a Mosque while visiting Morocco, you might be out of luck unless you’re Muslim. Most mosques are off-limits to non-Muslims, with the exception of the massive Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca. They are still beautiful to take photos from outside though! If you’re looking for beautiful architecture, Bahia Palace is open to visitors.

What are the Holidays In Morocco ?

Keep in mind that it is a Muslim country, so pay attention to their holidays otherwise you might be there when everything is closed. Also, most shops and attractions will close on Friday since it’s their holy day. A friend of mine went during Ramadan and told me it was very difficult to eat meals. We happened to arrive in Morocco on Eid al-Adha, where they were slaughtering and sacrificing animals on the street. All shops we saw closed that day and most shops were closed the following day. Plus it was a bloody mess, most of which we avoided. Below you can see what is usually a crowded marketplace is deserted.

Is it Okay to Take Pictures in PUBLIC ?

When you’re walking through the markets, be careful when taking photos of people and shops. Unless you are purchasing something, they may get angry at you and even demand money for the photos. When we took photos of the snake charmers, we paid 20 DH. Some may even hassle you for more, so again, it’s good to first establish a price before taking a photo.

What SOUVENIRS to Bring home ?

Fez is known for leather and carpets, while Marrakech is known for fragrances, oils, and spices (like saffron). If you’re buying saffron, make sure you’re buying the real thing. Many places sell artificial saffron for dirt cheap or mix the real with the fake stuff. You can ask them to do a demonstration of water. If it colors the water yellow, it’s real, if it turns reddish, it’s the dye coming out from the artificial saffron. You can also smell the difference (should smell more herbal), or ask for a couple of strands to put in your mouth and spit it onto a tissue to see what color it produces.
