Explore Marrakech by bike, and enjoy the city in a different and highly entertaining way. You'll see Marrakech's main attractions, like El Koutoubia Mosque, Jmaa El Fna square , The Marrakech Arset Garden, and experience the famous historical red walls. On your bike tour through Marrakech your guide will tell you about centuries of history, a story around every corner.Your private Marrakech bike tour begins in the district of the Hivernage, the first residence of foreigners in Marrakech. We cross the new town of Gueliz, with two buildings of remarkable architecture. The Royal Theatre which was built by Tunisian architect Charles Boccara with columns, puts on theatrical performances of comedy, opera, and dance in French and Arabic, greater number perform outdoors and entertain tourists on the main square and the streets, especially at night. Christopher Hudson of the Daily Mail noted that "men dressed as women performed bawdy street theatre, to the delight of a ring of onlookers of all ages" and then you will pass by the railway station.
You continue along the famous walls which were built by the Almoravids in the 12th century as protective fortifications. The walls are made of a distinct orange-red clay and chalk, giving the city its nickname as the "red city"; they stand up to 19 feet (5.8 m) high and have 20 gates and 200 towers along them. Then passing the legendary Mamounia Hotel at the heart of the old city of Marrakech where Vladimir Putin's daughter's wedding took place there in January 2013.
After that you will cross the garden of Agdal and penetrating the closed area of the Marrakech Kasbah. Arriving at the old Jewish quarter, you take a break at the metalworkers place. Finally the narrow streets lead to the famous Jemaa El Fna, used equally by locals and tourists, you will find juice stalls, water sellers and snake charmers by day and dancing boys, storytellers and magicians, the square fills with food stalls.and then the arrival at the Cyber Park Arset, enjoy the beauty of the Arsat Moulay Abdeslam Cyber Park. The park is eight hectares in size and was commissioned by Prince Moulay Abdeslam in the eighteenth century.
The park is constructed as a food producing area, but it was restructured into a botanical garden by the French during their occupation. The park eventually became derelict as no organization was put in charge of it. With locals using the park for football and other activities, the grounds became eroded and not a glimmer of its former beauty remained.
This circuit is ideally suited to urban bike safety and brings you closer to Marrakchi life for an original tour of Marrakech.
