Itinerary

  1. You will be picked up from your hotel around 8:30am. During the two-and-a-half-hour drive, you will see on your way the Argan's trees. The bus will stop at local cooperative where women will show you how to make Argan oil. After that you will continue to Essaouira. Once known as Mogador, Essaouira is a coastal gem shaped by sea, wind, and history. Its medina is wrapped in old Portuguese ramparts, with cannons still guarding the ocean view. Wander its blue-shuttered alleys, taste fresh seafood by the port, and soak in the rhythm of Gnawa music. Calm, creative, and full of soul — Essaouira is a breeze you’ll never forget. This trip is the most appreciated day trip for tourist. Many even return to the peaceful town for a longer stay.

About Marrakech

At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
