In Marrakech, where there is still a small Jewish population, some have moved out of the mellah and into the modern parts of the city and very few stayed. The old neighborhood is still there, and the "Jewish" spice markets is still functioning.
Embark on an eye-opening tour of the wonders of Marrakech, starting with the Minaret of the Koutoubia, from the 13th century and the spiritual center of Marrakech. Visit the Palace of the Bahia, the residence of the old vizir, known for its intricate tile and wood carving decoration. Discover how spices and argan oil are made before you head to the Jamaa el Fna square home to the bustling souks, so typical of the city and full of fruit vendors and stalls selling wicker baskets, traditional sweets, and authentic souvenirs. At nightfall, the square looks magical as it is lit with thousands of lights.
