Overview

The Jewish population resided in Morocco for several thousand years influencing trade and culture, evidenced in each city of Morocco where you will find a Mellah - the old Jewish quarter or ghetto. Of these culturally iconic locations, the Mellah is preserved and remains alive in Marrakech. Walking the Mellah, your guide will explain the history and significance of the Jews in Marrakech while exploring the quarters distinct architecture, meeting with herb and spice traders, visiting the market and several other enclaves. We will visit the Slat al-Azama Synagogue, and the Jewish Cemetery ( no visit on Saturday).
Morocco has existed since ancient times with different civilisations occupying the region because of its critical location. We are locals who live in Marrakech and we know the whole city. A personalised itinerary can include other stops in the Medina such as Jamaal Elfna square and shopping or just discovering the amazing workshops of handicraft inside souks of Marrakech.

Activity itinerary

Mellah
  • 1h
The city's small lanes previously housed the city's Jewish community, as evidenced by buildings such as the Lazama Synagogue, which has a tiled courtyard and exhibitions on Jewish life, and the peaceful Miaara Jewish cemetery. The bustling Mellah Market, which sells meat and fruit, and the Bab Mellah Spice Souk are also nearby you can learn about herbs and spices if you like when you visit an herbelist . The area is dotted with European-style cafes, Moroccan restaurants, offering grilled meats and tajines.
Slat Al Azama Synagogue
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Salat al-azamat, like other synagogues built in Morocco, is located in the Mellah and was built around 1492 to serve the Jewish community. It was erected around a central courtyard, and it was a model of traditional architecture. It was only recently renovated: an erzat nachim (women's gallery) was added to the eastern wall, and the typically moveable wooden arch was replaced by a marble arch bordering the eastern wall.
Miaara Jewish Cemetery
  • 25m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Jewish cemetery of Miaara, which is located in the Mellah area, bears witness to Marrakesh's long history as a Jewish community. This large space, which is more than 500 years old, has graves with a basic appearance and varying sizes, dated from several centuries to a few years. On the left, a slew of anonymous graves bear witness to the epidemics that ravaged the city, necessitating hasty burials.
