Route

1. Exploring Essaouira is easy on your own: Locals are very friendly, the Medina is pretty small, and its streets are in order. You definitely do not need a guide for the tour of the city. Should you insist on one, your driver will help you hire a local guide for the tour of the city. First, you can visit the harbor with its fishing port and old Portuguese fortifications. You can still see medieval war cannons aligned in order to overlook the Atlantic Ocean.

You can continue to Bab Laalouj ( One of the main gates of Essaouira, then to the Mellah (the old Jewish quarter). Along the way, various art shops, galleries, souvenir shops, and thuya woodcraft shops are aligned in order. Choose one of the local cafes for a delicious seafood lunch and head to Kasbah famous for having served as a military bastion. If you are a beach lover, enjoy a walk along the sandy beach of Mogador, and watch locals playing beach ball. If you are brave enough, why not join a game for a few minutes. People from Essaouira are very friendly. You can sunbathe while watching waterspouts amateurs kitesurfing or windsurfing.

About Marrakech

Aan de voet van het Atlasgebergte staat Marrakesh met zijn rode muren bekend om de doolhofachtige medina, het levendige plein en rustige riads en tuinen.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, het grote plein in het centrum van de medina, verandert door de dag van karakter: van sapverkopers en slangenbezweerders 's ochtends tot eetkraampjes in de rook en muzikanten na het donker. De minaret van de Koutoubia-moskee verrijst vlakbij als het baken van de stad, en de soeks strekken zich naar het noorden uit in een wirwar van steegjes met leer, lantaarns, tapijten en specerijen.

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