Overview

Marrakech by night is a different city. As the light goes, the food stalls are set up on Jemaa el-Fna, musicians and storytellers gather their circles, and the lanes of the souks fill with people shopping after work. This evening tour starts near the Koutoubia at sunset and follows the square and the medina with a local guide for about three hours.

Your guide explains what is happening around each circle and keeps you clear of the busiest crowds. Dinner is not part of the tour, but you can stop at a stall or a rooftop restaurant along the way. If food is the main reason to go out at night, the Street Food Tour is built around tastings.
