Overview
This route is for visitors who want more than a single viewpoint photograph. It links the Kasbah with Coco Polizzi's medina, then moves on to the mosque, argan production and the souk. The mix matters: the reconstructed architectural setting of the medina is a different stop from the city's working market. You can use this outing to put names and places in context before exploring further during your stay. It is a city-based alternative to a long drive inland, with several stops rather than one continuous walk.
Good to know
- Wear comfortable walking shoes for the Medina and Souk
- Don't forget your camera for the Kasbah views
- Modest dress is required for the mosque visit (shoulders and knees covered)
- The tour takes approximately 3 hours
- Friday is a holy day, so some stalls in the Souk may be closed

No. They are separate stops in this itinerary: the medina is an architectural visit, while Souk El Had is the market stop.
Does the mosque stop include going inside?
The programme describes viewing the mosque's architecture. Interior access is not established by the supplied details, so do not assume it is included.
How does this differ from the shorter city tour?
This route specifically includes Coco Polizzi's medina alongside the Kasbah and other city stops. Compare the full inclusion list and duration before choosing.
