Private Day Trip to Marrakech from Casablanca with lunch

Marrakech, the former imperial city of western Morocco, and a major economic center housing mosques, palaces and gardens. The medina is a fortified and densely populated medieval city dating from the Berber Empire, with alleys intertwined like a labyrinth, where the bustling souks (markets) sell fabrics, pottery and traditional jewelry. Symbol of the city, the minaret of the 12th century Moorish mosque of Koutoubia is visible for miles.
