• 5One of my favorite day...

  One of my favorite day trips in Morocco. Essaouira has its own charm and it’s hard to explain until you see it yourself. We enjoyed simply walking around and sitting by the ocean for a while. Said and Oubram were both great.

  Experience can be better if driver can communicate with us for a bit more information about the time scale of reaching to and back from hotel to the destination, other than that, we enjoyed the visit

• 3Nice day trip to Essaouira albeit long driving

  Long day with lots of mini bus driving, too much. Could easily shave 1h30 from whole day by shortening and skipping some breaks. Though it delivered what was promissed on the ad.

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).
