Marrakesh

A self-guided audio walking tour of Marrakesh.

Marrakesh pulses with the energy of a thousand years of trade. Founded circa 1070, the Almoravids established the foundational layout, crafting the city with red sandstone that earned it the title of the Red City. The walls, built by Ali ibn Yusuf in 1122-1123, frame a labyrinth of souks and markets. From the 16th century Saadian embellishments to the modern pulse of Jemaa el-Fnaa, this Moroccan hub continues to trade culture and color against the backdrop of the Atlas Mountains. In the app, 26 stops in Marrakesh are narrated aloud, about 44m of listening across 4 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 62 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
