Good to know

Can non-Muslims go inside the mosques in Marrakesh?

No. The mosques on this route are visited from outside, and each is worth a slow pass for its minaret and the quarter around it.

Why does the trip spend time at the city gates?

The gates mark where the medina met the roads and rivers beyond the walls. Together they trace the old city's line and give the four days a clear route on foot.

What should we bring for a packed day in Marrakesh?

Sturdy shoes for uneven lanes, sun protection and water for the open squares and wall walks, and a light layer for the evening.

Is October a good time for this route?

October is warm and the city is busy. The packed pace works because the trip starts early and keeps the open stops for the edges of the day.

Can non-Muslims enter mosques in Marrakesh?

Most working mosques, including Koutoubia Mosque and Ibn Salah Mosque, welcome visitors only to their exteriors and gardens. The Almoravid Koubba is the exception: it is a historical monument open to everyone.

When is the best time to visit Majorelle Garden?

Early morning, shortly after opening, when the paths are uncrowded and the light is still low. This itinerary schedules it first for exactly that reason.
