The morning begins with a guided tour through the 16th-century Jewish quarter, The Mellah, featuring Moorish architecture and markets filled with spices and herbs. The visit includes the synagogue with the shrines of Rabbi Hanania Hacohen and Rabbi Mordekhai Ben Attar, significant figures in the Jewish community of Marrakech.

Lunch is arranged in a Jewish home within The Mellah, providing an opportunity to engage with a local family and experience traditional hospitality. In the afternoon, the schedule includes a walk through the artisan quarters and the main square of Marrakech, ending at the central synagogue, Beth El, with a chance to meet the rabbi.
