The Jewish community has had a significant presence in Morocco over many millennia, impacting commerce and cultural elements. This is clearly noticeable in each Moroccan city’s Mellah - the historic Jewish district or ghetto. Among these culturally significant sites, the Mellah still thrives and is cherished in Marrakech. As you stroll through the Mellah, your tour guide will shed light on the Jewish history of Marrakech and their unique contributions while exploring the district’s unique architectural style, interacting with herb and spice merchants, touring the marketplace, and encountering many other pockets of interest. The itinerary includes a visit to the Slat al-Azama Synagogue and the Jewish Cemetery (except on Saturdays).
