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 civilizations occupying the region because of its critical location. We are locals who live in Marrakech and we know the whole city. A personalized 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.

    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, Marrakech, Morocco
    The Jewish cemetery of Miaara, which is located in the Mellah neighborhood, 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.

We were not sure what to expect, however we were thrilled with the tour. Our guide, Ismail was amazing and so knowledgeable. He took us at just the right pace, and made sure we had all the history of the Jews and their connection with Morocco. He showed us everything we wanted to see. The synagogue we saw was very moving and beautiful. There is a great deal of Judaica throughout Marrakesh. He also specifically took us to a former synagogue where the grandfather of a relative of ours used to attend. Ismail always gave us options and made sure our day was perfect. It was. Thanks Ismail.

The synagogue was very interesting/ Nora is very knowledgeable. Nora took us to the Hamman to ensure our booking was sorted and we knew where it is for our forthcoming treatment. Unfortunately we felt the price was excessive for Jewish Marrakesh considering there was really very little to see, that is no way reflective of Nora’s ability.
