What will you see during the night visit to Medina Azahara?
In the Medina Azahara at night Tour you will travel to the time of the first Cordoban caliph, Abd al-Rahman III, who order the construction of a new city as a symbol of his immense power, that city is Madinat al-Zahra, the “bright city”.
In the night tour in Medina Azahara you will discover outstanding surroundings, as is the case of the Rich Hall, or the Great Eastern Portico, a spectacular arcade, which was intended to impress those who came to the new city.
We will walk through a labyrinth of narrow and winding streets, passages that connect private and public spaces and vice versa. The spectacular façade of the House of Ya’Far, the vizier and the right hand of the Caliph… and much more!.
What is included in the Medina Azahara Tour at Night?
In the Medina Azahara at Night Tour you can choose between two options: a) with bus service included, which takes you from Córdoba; and b) without services, i.e., traveling in your own vehicle.
We do not recommend a specific option, choose the one that best suits your needs. If you do not know the area well, we will tell you to choose the option with a bus, as it is very convenient and very cheap.
At night the Interpretation Center is closed, if you hire a bus you will be taken directly to the site, without stopping at the Interpretation Center, just to start the Medina Azahara at Night Tour, it is very convenient. On the other hand, if you travel in your own vehicle, you will have to park, take the shuttle (3,50€/pax) and go up to the site, where our guide will be waiting for you.
