A Magical Evening in Marrakech: City Tour in Marrakech - 14ed43f849123d45d7af5ed117f8a335

Marrakech shines under a different light at night, and it's worth exploring it on a private city tour. Get ready to discover the city's authentic evening state because the locals and the main highlights come out to play as the sun sets.

As the soft evening light falls across the city's sights, follow your local host to discover Koutoubia Mosque, Jemaa el-Fna, and other major spots. Your host will point out some of the details you might have missed in each stop as they reveal themselves during the evening lights and around a less touristy crowd. With the main highlights of Marrakech illuminated, your perspective of the city will be different as it was during the day.

Take advantage of the cooler, calmer evening and discover where the locals gather to unwind. And just because your tour ends doesn't mean your night does too. Keep it going with local recommendations of where to go in Marrakech at night. Enjoy a mint tea before saying goodbye to your host and enjoy the rest of your night in Marrakech like a local.

The local hosts are natural storytellers, each one with a different background ranging from arts to history. They can't wait to share some of their unique stories and personal anecdotes with you! Feel like changing the route a bit? No problem, the hosts will be happy to personalize the tour to your wishes and make their city your city!

Choose your local

Get to know these 11 passionate locals, each bringing unique perspectives and talents. Choose your favorite, check their availability, and book to create an unforgettable adventure tailored to you.

This is the plan

  1. Meeting point

    Meet at In front of Koutubia Mosque, near Kubba Fatima Zohra (the white house) - Marrakech to start your journey

  4. Take it Easy

    As the sun sets, the tourist crowds take a break, and the city goes back to its local filled atmosphere. Take in the local hustle and bustle as you move from stop to stop in a relaxed manner - in the evening, Marrakech it’s for you, and the locals
  5. The Grand Finale

    For a night to remember, your local host has left a great stop ‘til last. Whether it is a panoramic view of Marrakech with a sunset in the background or a stop at a lively local hotspot for a mint tea, your tour will end on a high note!

Aimad is knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and happy to ensure that your tour suits your needs and interests. He's not one of those guides who will bring you to shops where there's lots of pressure to buy; he truly wants to share his Marrakech with you. We did 3 tours with him and would happily do more! (Note: I will put this review on the 3 tours we did with him, so don't be wary if you see the repetition!)Wonderful guide

Omar was a fantastic guide around Marrakech. He gave us a tour of his city on our first evening and it was the perfect introduction to the incredible sights and sounds of a unique place. Not one who usually relishes walking, our five year old son also loved the tour, and Omar was brilliant with him, keeping him entertained throughout. We were treated to some of Omar’s favourite local spots, and his insights gave us the perfect start to a wonderful holiday in Marrakech - we couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Omar war ein super Guide. Er kam extra für uns auch etwas eher, da es schon später am Abend war. Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld lief super. Die Tour durch die Medina bei Nacht war super interessant, auch der kleine Abstecher zu einem Freund. Wir endeten kurz vor Mitternacht auf dem Hauptplatz, wo immer noch viel los war. Sehr empfehlenswert.Sehr individuell und stadtnah

We had a very nice evening tour of the Medina with Mohamed, who is knowledgeable and passionate about his city. The tour was fairly fast-paced as there was much ground to cover, but also included sampling different types of local food which, we didn’t expect (the description said a snack, but it was enough to make us cancel our dinner reservations for later. Overall it was a nice tour, thanks Mohamed!Nice tour of the Medina

We had booked an evening tour with Mohammed on our first night to help with orientation in the medina. He met us near the Mosque and was punctual, polite and interesting. We didn't have anything specific in mind to get out of the tour itself so we were quite relaxed and let him choose the best places, Mo gave us lots of tips and interesting facts about Marrakesh. He kindly pointed out the restaurants in which you could have alcohol with your meal as many places are dry. I would definitely recommend Mo Great Guide

We were very excited to go visit the souks in Marrakesh so we booked a guided tour. Our guide was Mohamed. He met us promptly at our designated meeting point. Mohamed was very friendly, very well spoken with perfect English & excellent company so we knew we were in good hands. He took us first on a tour outside the Mosque explaining all of its history which was very interesting. Then onto the souks where Mohamed told us all about the Arabic culture & life in Marrakesh & had very interesting g stories. Then Mohamed brought us for Tea around the medina & showed us his tea pouring skills while telling us more interesting stories. Then we were ready for dinner so he showed us a wonderful restraint that we loved which we will now book for New Years Eve. When we finished dinner he escorted us in our taxi back to our hotel outside the city & by the end of the few hours that we spent with him we felt we had made a new best friend. We would highly recommend Mohamed for anyone looking for a great tour with a fun, relaxed easy going guide.Fantastic Guide !!!

I booked an evening tour with Ouidad in order to get acquainted with Marrakech and had a wonderful time. Ouidad is full of energy and has the most delightful sense of humor. We strolled around the Medina and Ouidad introduced me to so many wonderful aspects of life in Morocco. It was like walking around with a friend. Highly recommend booking a tour with Ouidad Like walking around with a friend

Was a real pleasure to spend the evening with Omar. He is a young man, with excellent training, knowledge of the place, kind and wonderful character. He loves his city and wants to convey this to visitors. He was also kind enough to take us to the hotel with his car after the tour. We would like to thank him for everything!A WONDERFUL EVENING WITH OMAR

Omar was very kind and he waited for us even if we were a little late :) The tour was fantastic, starting from the Koutobia Mosque at sunset and ending in the Jemaa El Fna at night, where all the magic happens. The colours, the lights and the people in the square were mesmerizing to look at. Omar guided us around and explained all the local traditions and way of life. Highly reccomended. Magic experience at sunset

I highly recommend a guide on your first night in Marrakech to lead you through the craziness of the Medina and Aimad would be a great choice. Perfect Night 1 in Marrakech

Abbiamo trascorso una splendida serata con Jaafar, guida locale con un italiano molto fluente. Dopo averci illustrato i dettagli della moschea Koutoubia, abbiamo passeggiato tra i souk più turistici e nei quartieri residenziali. La serata si è conclusa piacevolmente in un cafè nella piazza centrale, dove Jaafar è stato molto disponibile nel rispondere alle nostre curiosità. Esperienza consigliata per conoscere grazie ad una guida locale le curiosità e i segreti più intimi della città!Piazza centrale e souk

Mohamed was our fabulous guide around Jemaa El-Fna! He took me and my two older parents to famous sites, such Koutoubia Mosque, and brought us to the rooftop for a wonderful sunset view over the night markets. He went well over his allotted time in order to show us everything, including the mint and olive markets, while also giving us interesting information about his lovely city. He always made sure we were closely behind him and safe. Without him, we would've definitely been lost (we actually came across some lost tourists during our tour haha)! He also made sure that we had a pick-up to return to our road (which was on the outskirts of the Medina). Mohamed will make sure you have the best time, while also being comfortable (he bought us bottled water to make sure we stayed hydrated, and also fed us frequently throughout the night). He is very amiable and is always quick to answer any questions! You'll have a great time with Mohamed!Wonderful Night with Mohamed

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Mohamed. He’s very friendly and made us feel at ease right away. He adapted to our schedule perfectly and took us to places we’d asked for while explaining the history and culture. It was a really chill, pleasant visit and I recommend doing it in the evening at sunset as the light is really exceptional. Fun, relaxed evening tour

We booked a night city tour with Mohamed on our arrival day to Marrakech and it could have not been any better. We got a taste of the city, it’s life & people; got to know best spots for shopping and eating, tips and advice, all in the wonderful company of Mohamed. He is very knowledgeable and caring. My family and I felt as we had reunited with an old friend. We took pauses as needed and learned a great deal about history and culture. Honestly, we would have been absolutely lost and would not know where to go if we had not done this tour on the first night. We recommend it wholeheartedly!Absolutely fantastic, book it!!

Hassan took us on a fantastic personalised tour - to the secret places in the medina that only he knows. We got a sense of real Marrakesh beyond the tourist stalls and crowds. It was fascinating to hear all about how people live, Moroccan food, to see and meet real artisans at work. We got to taste local delicacies straight from the wood oven. We would definitely seek Hassan out again when we come back - he was a brilliant guide. Very charming, sensitive and knowledgable. A true ambassador for Marrakesh. A Standout Guide - Hassan is excellent

Mohamed took my wife and I through the Medina in the late afternoon and into Djemaa El-Fnaa just after sunset. We had an amazing time and Mohamed is incredibly friendly, passionate, and speaks perfect English. He took us to several of his favorite street food stops in the market and even recommended spots for dinner and drinks after the tour wrapped up. It felt like less of a tour and more like hanging out with a local friend - highly recommend booking with Mohamed!Amazing experience and guide!

We wanted to visit the deeper souks of Marrakech without fear of getting lost! Redouan met us at our hotel transfer drop-off and led us through a warren of alleys showing us the different craft specialities of each one - metalwork, leather, wood etc. I had a list of items I was looking for and Redouan took us to authentic shops, many featuring artisans making goods - so we knew these were good quality and hand crafted. There was never pressure to buy - and when we did find something we liked, much good natured haggling ensued (Redouan told me I negotiate better than a Berber!) and we emerged into Djemaa el Fna with everything we were looking for, plus some things we didn’t know we needed, all at excellent prices. To end the 3 hour tour, Redouan treated us to a much needed cold drink on a rooftop terrace with the best view of the square and we learnt both about the history of Marrakech and current events in Morocco. If you want to visit parts of the city you might not otherwise get to see, deep in the heart of the souks, I highly recommend a tour with Redouan. Excellent artisan souk tour

We took the Marrakech at night tour with Mohamed. He was so friendly, and he spoke excellent English so it was very easy to understand everything he was saying. This was our first tour in Morocco and it really set the bar high for us. He took us all over town and told us so much useful tourist information in addition to historical and cultural facts. He took us to an Argan oil cooperative and made it very clear that we didn’t need to feel pressured to buy. The info at the Argan place was very interesting and when we were ready to leave, he took us to the next place. I would highly recommend choosing Mohamed for any tour you choose. He wore his official tourism badge, and we felt so comfortable and in good hands with him. My son even exchanged Instagram with him so they can stay in touch. Mohamed, if you come to America, send us a message, and you have a place to stay! Amazing!
