As you leave Casablanca behind, enjoy the drive through picturesque landscapes, including rolling hills, olive groves, and small rural villages. The drive offers a glimpse of the Moroccan countryside, with its vibrant colors and natural beauty.

Upon arrival in Marrakech, the first stop is the Majorelle Gardens, one of the most famous landmarks in the city. This tranquil garden is filled with vibrant plants, fountains, and a striking collection of blue buildings. It’s an oasis of calm in the heart of the city. Afterward, head to the Menara Gardens, a beautiful and historic garden with olive groves and a reflective pool that offers a perfect view of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in the distance.

Next, you’ll be taken to Marrakech’s Medina, where history and modern life blend together seamlessly. Wander through the bustling Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The square is filled with entertainers, snake charmers, food vendors, and storytellers, creating an exciting atmosphere. From here, explore the winding alleys of the souks, where you’ll find traditional Moroccan goods like leather bags, spices, hand-woven rugs, lanterns, and intricate pottery. Enjoy the rich scents and vibrant colors as you shop for unique souvenirs.

At the end of your tour, you’ll enjoy a delicious traditional Moroccan dinner at a local restaurant or your riad. Savor dishes like tagine, couscous, or pastilla, paired with refreshing mint tea. Afterward, relax and unwind at your carefully selected hotel or riad, where you’ll spend the night.

After a refreshing breakfast, depart from Marrakech to Essaouira, a charming coastal town about 2.5 hours from Marrakech. The journey offers scenic views of the countryside, with arid landscapes gradually giving way to the coastal beauty of the Atlantic Ocean.

Upon arriving in Essaouira, you’ll be immediately captivated by the Medina, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The blue-and-white washed buildings, cobbled streets, and lively souks offer a truly authentic Moroccan experience. Your local guide will take you on a tour of Skala de la Ville, the town’s historic fortifications, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the ocean and city. The walls are adorned with old cannons, offering a glimpse into Essaouira’s past as a port and trading hub.

Explore the port area, where fishermen bring in the day’s catch, and stroll along the vibrant beachfront, enjoying the sea breeze and the view of traditional boats lining the shore. Essaouira is also known for its fresh seafood, so enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the seaside restaurants where you can savor grilled fish or seafood tagine, all while overlooking the stunning coastline.

In the afternoon, you’ll have free time to explore the artisan workshops that specialize in wood carving, a craft that Essaouira is famous for.

For those interested in more adventure, there’s the option for camel riding along the beach or horseback riding through the nearby dunes.

As evening falls, head back to your riad or hotel for a relaxing dinner. Spend your night in Essaouira, soaking in the serene atmosphere of this lovely coastal town.

Around midday, start your return journey towards Marrakech. On the way, make a stop at a local village where you can stretch your legs, interact with the locals, and perhaps grab a light snack or take some photos. After your break, continue on your way to Marrakech, where you’ll have a short time to explore the city’s modern side, known as Ville Nouvelle.
