Itinerary
We will start by picking up the travelers and make our way to Essaouira.
We explore Essaouira as a medieval city known for its annual festival of Gnaoua music and UNESCO considers the city to be an international heritage site. We will explore places like Moulay El Hassan, the port, the ramparts, and the Jewish district Derb Lealouj. At the end of the morning, don't miss the colorful and lively spectacle of the return of the boats to the port, with their baskets full of fish. We'll visit also the Sqala of the Kasbash, the artillery platform on the ramparts, offers from its north bastion an incomparable view across the medina, over the port's Sqala and out over the ocean. Leave the old European canons and walk towards the casemates that lead to the street. Some of the kingdom's most famous marquetry craftsmen and cabinet makers have founded their workshops there. After all of this we will make our way back to Marrakech.

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).
