Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. This day trip to Essaouira will be an opportunity for you to enjoy this port city on the Atlantic coast. With its all-white medina classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Essaouira attracts artists from around the world. It is also considered as the city of the traditional music of "Gnawa". Musical current originating from black Africa. The visit of the medina and its ramparts will remind you of the historical traces of the Romans. The 200 meter long Scala is a rampart lined with guns facing the Atlantic Ocean, showing the Portuguese influence of the past. The port was the only one for years to open to foreign trade where we can now enjoy a lunch based on fish and seafood depending on the arrival. You will also have the pleasure to visit the famous marquetry of Essaouira (work of wooden decoration specialty of the city).

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).
