We had a detailed tour of Bahia Palace but as a group in the end decided not to visit the tombs as there was a 45 minute queue to get into the most elaborate room. We then visited the mosque and finished off with a short walk through the souks. We learnt a lot about Moroccan culture, history and Islam. Really interesting. Highly recommended.”
