Overview

We offer you an incredible 2 1/2-hour guided tour that will show you the best of the splendid citadel of Abd-al-Rahman III, which was meant to be the capital of the new state and a symbol of power before the adversaries and allies of Al-Andalus.

We begin the visit in the parking lot of Medina Azahara and it takes place mainly in the archaeological site, ruins of the ancient city, in which our guide will interpret each of the rooms and locations of the tour. We will also explain the political, historical and social context that lived in Al Andalus according to the stay we are in.

The archaeological and artistic value that is hidden behind the walls of the citadel make it a reference tourist place on the whole planet, so we recommend hiring our guided tours in Medina Azahara so you can uniquely know the secrets of this great monumental complex.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
