Exploring the sights in Old Town, Marrakech
Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2025 8:41 am
Our Monday in Marrakech was also my best friend’s birthday (which prompted the trip,) so, as per our itinerary, we were set to explore the sights of the Old Town part of the city. Our hostel, Equity Point (review to come!) was situatied just off Jemaa el-Fnaa, the main square and our starting point for the day’s walking excursion. Armed only with a tourist’s map and Gary’s super-hero sense of direction, we were off on our exploration.
A short walk from the main square is Koutoubia whatsapp number list Mosque, a beautiful building with intricate decoration on the exterior. We admired the buildings and sat in the gardens, which were full of perfectly pruned orange trees, for a little while planning our next move. We would head in the directions of the tombs and the Royal Palace and hopefully find somewhere for lunch along the way!
We found the tombs after a bit of a long walk – and getting lost! We avoided paying someone trying to ‘guide’ us back to the main square (and, coincidentally, his father’s stall..) and eventually arrived exhausted. We chose to have lunch first, and opted for the Kasbah Cafe, enticed by its rooftop terrace.
