Marrakech City Trip: Menara Garden, Bahia Palace, Medina & Djemâa El Fina

Agadir Port to Marrakech (Scenic Drive)

Your Agadir port excursion begins with a private pickup directly from your cruise ship. After a two-hour drive, you arrive in Marrakech, a city shaped by trade, craftsmanship, and layered history. 

This Morocco shore tour is designed as a smooth transition from port to city without shared transport or delays.

Menara Garden & Saadian Tombs

The tour opens with the Menara Garden, where olive groves frame the Atlas Mountains in the distance. 

Next, visit the Saadian tombs, a preserved royal burial site reflecting Marrakech’s historic power and artistry. This part of the Marrakech sightseeing trip sets the cultural foundation before entering the old city.

Koutoubia Mosque & Dar Si Said Museum

Passing the Koutoubia Mosque, Marrakech’s defining landmark, your guide explains its architectural influence across Morocco. 

You then continue to the Dar Si Said Museum, showcasing Moroccan woodwork, textiles, and daily-life artifacts. 

This guided section forms the core of the Marrakech cultural tour, offering context before independent exploration.

Bahia Palace & Medina Walk

Inside Bahia Palace, courtyards and tiled halls reflect 19th-century royal life. From there, walk through the narrow lanes of the medieval medina, where workshops, stalls, and local rhythms fill the streets. 

This stretch of the Marrakech guided tour balances explanation with unhurried observation.

Souks & Handicraft Quarters

The afternoon is dedicated to the souks and handicraft areas, ideal for browsing leather goods, metalwork, and textiles. 

Your guide helps navigate the layout, leaving space to shop at your own pace. This moment defines the hands-on side of the Morocco day trip experience.

Djemâa El Fina & Return to Agadir Port

The visit concludes at Djemâa El Fina, where performers, food stalls, and market sounds animate the square. 

As evening approaches, you begin the return drive, arriving back at your ship around 8:00 PM. This final leg completes the Agadir to Marrakech journey with a relaxed, direct transfer.
