Discover the Red City

Thanks to Amanjena’s first-class accommodation and superior customer service, guests are given an ample appreciation of what Morocco has to offer. One of the best ways to explore its interesting culture is by journeying in the astounding city of Marrakech, also known as the red-ochre city. It is divided into two towns: the old Medina and the contemporary Gueliz.

The Colours of Marrakech Tour serves as a great introduction to the city’s past and present: the vibrant Agdal gardens, the 12th-century mausoleum and mosque serving as the king’s new residence, and the Menara gardens’ beautiful water basin. A bird’s eye view of the entire city is a must-see, so are the emerald bamboo and the diverse flora at the Yves-Saint Laurent Majorelle Garden.

The Authentic Medina Tour shows an ancient town brimming with activity. Visitors are taken for a stroll around the tanneries, a moukef or a gathering of laborers, foundouks where merchants once stayed, and traditional bakeries where people bake their dough up to this day. The walk then continues to the former hospital called Dar Bellarj and on to the 16th-century Medersa Ben Youseff, the largest theological college back in ancient Morroco. A visit to the Musee de Marrakech follows where rare masterpieces are displayed, then the tour ends at the Jemaa El Fna Square.
