What agencies ask
- Can guests enter the Koutoubia mosque?
- No. Non-Muslims cannot enter; the visit covers the minaret, the exterior and the gardens.
- Does it overlap with the Souk & Medina Walk?
- Very little. E1 is about the souks and the Bahia Palace; this tour covers the other monuments, and the two combine well.
- Is it suitable for large groups?
- Yes, split into smaller groups with their own guide, as the Saadian Tombs are narrow.
