Itinerary

When you arrive in Marrakech, our driver will be waiting for you at the airport with a sign with your name or group name for a smooth and friendly welcome. After you check in to your accommodation, enjoy a warm welcome dinner at one of the well-known restaurants in town as you will experience some of the wonderful flavors of Moroccan cuisine. For the adventurous, we offer the chance to take an optional evening walk through the bustling streets of the medina and the famous Jemaa El-Fna square filled with sound, aromas, and flavors.

After breakfast, we’ll enjoy a scenic drive to Essaouira, a coastal city just a couple of hours from Marrakech. Along the journey, you will pass through argan forest and the beautiful rolling countryside. Once we arrive in Essaouira, you will be able to discover the medina’s charm, meander the blue and white streets, visit the old port, and enjoy lunch by the sea. In the afternoon, there is plenty to do; wander through artisan shops, take a stroll on the beach, or just take in the relaxed coastal life.

Today is yours to experience Essaouira at your leisure. After breakfast, you can opt to partake in any number of optional activities including camel rides on the beach, horseback riding at the water’s edge, surfing at any level, or ATV rides. If you are looking for a slower pace, take time to discover hidden cafés, local galleries or take a relaxed stroll all the way along the beach. This day offers everything from relaxed to adrenaline, all in one great location.

We will journey back to Marrakech after breakfast. Depending on your flight time they will either take you back to the airport, or to a rooftop café where you can enjoy the sunset views of Jemaa El-Fna and mint tea in your final moments enjoying Morocco.
