Marrakech Horse Carriage Ride and Jemaa el Fna Square
Overview
The green calèches of Marrakech are part of the city's history. Sitting back in a carriage is a relaxed way to see the ramparts, the gates and the gardens, away from the traffic and the busy souks.
After the ride, your guide takes you into Jemaa el Fna, the famous square of storytellers, musicians and food stalls, and explains its traditions. All horses we use are checked by SPANA, the working animal welfare charity.
