In this tour, we’ll uncover something truly local, authentic, and unique: The Secret Marrakech!
We’ll begin our walking tour from the iconic Jemaa El Fna square, then weave through the narrow streets of the Medina, heading toward the historic Jewish Quarter (Mellah). There, we'll visit a 15th-century synagogue and explore the largest Jewish cemetery in Morocco.
Next, we'll stop at a traditional public oven (Ferran) to witness how Moroccan bread is baked using centuries-old methods passed down through generations.
We’ll then wander through the colorful and vibrant souks of Marrakech, where you’ll encounter working artisan shops—leather crafters, blacksmiths, wool dyers, and many other hidden gems that most visitors miss.
Finally, we’ll circle back to Jemaa El Fna, ending the tour filled with unforgettable sights, stories, and the true essence of Marrakech.

What To Expect
Jemaa el-Fnaa
This is the very famous square in Morocco, a place so full of life and activity. Here you can enjoy a show of acrobats, local musicians, snake charmers ... and many more. The square is quiet during the day and it gets busier late in the afternoon and during the evening time.
Slat Al Azama Synagogue
This synagogue dates back to the end of the 15th century, and was founded by the Sephardim jews who were expeled from Andalucia (Spain & portugal) back then. It's the oldest in Marrakech, and is still actif since its foundation. It also hosts a beautiful museum for jewish history and culture in Morocco.

5.00We spent an afternoon walking around Marrakech with Chafik. It was our first time in Marrakech, and he made an itinerary that was a perfect balance of local culture, history, traditions, and shopping! His English was flawless, and he was considered and thoughtful throughout the tour. He even kept in touch over the following days with other recommendations, and to answer questions. We really couldn't ask for a better example of Berber hospitality. Thank you!
A guided tour of the souk

5.00Today my husband and I enjoyed a two-hour guided tour of the souk with Chafik, and it was an absolutely fabulous experience. We’ve been to Marrakesh many times and have wandered the souks often, but because they’re such a labyrinth, we’d always found ourselves doing the same loops again and again. This time was completely different. Chafik took us right into the heart of the souk and far beyond, opening our eyes to areas and details we would never have discovered on our own. His knowledge of everyday Moroccan life is incredible, and he shared so many fascinating insights that truly brought the souk to life. His understanding of the history is equally impressive and was woven seamlessly into the tour. Chafik’s English is superb, which made everything easy to follow and really enhanced the whole experience. If you’re looking for a guided tour of these extraordinary historic pathways that have survived for centuries, look no further — this tour is highly recommended.

5.00We had an incredible tour with Chafiq, who very conscientiously guided us around the old Jewish neighbourhood and the cemetery. We learned so much from him. He was insightful, extremely knowledgeable, and his English was impeccable. He was also very generous, taking us to several lesser known spots along the way. As it was quite rainy that day, he even brought an umbrella for us, which was much appreciated. He also offered excellent recommendations for visiting a hammam and for lovely places to have lunch. Overall, it was a truly wonderful experience and we would highly recommend Shafiq. If you would like it to sound slightly more informal or more promotional, I can adjust the tone.
Highly recommended!

5.00We had a great experience with Chafik in Marrakech. We were the only couple booked for that time, which made the tour completely private and flexible. We could choose where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see and learn more about, which we really appreciated. Chafik is friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable throughout the tour. A very personal and authentic experience – highly recommended
