When you arrive at Marrakech airport, your tour guide will collect you and drive to your hotel or riad in the medina. Overnight accommodation will be at a hotel or riad.
After breakfast in your hotel or riad, you will start traveling to the coastal city of Essaouira.

You will get to Essaouira around 11 am, and start exploring the city. You’ll visit the Skala Fortress; see Thuya wood carved by local artisans; walk through the alleys of the Medina of Marrakech and view hundreds of handicrafts sold in the souks.
Essaouira is also known as the “City of the Wind”, and it attracts surfers from all over the world. So for surfers, this might be a good place to spend a few days. Essaouira knew many civilizations – including the Portuguese occupation, which affects much of its architecture – however, it remains a small village with much history. Because of its size and its characteristic blue doors and white-washed walls, it is also regarded as Morocco’s “Jewel of the Atlantic”.
Our visit includes the Mellah – the Jewish headquarters, and the beach. There is an annual festival of “Gnawa music”, where many musical groups come from different parts of Africa and the world. Today you will have lunch in a Moroccan way – bought fish ‘cooked to order’.
