Tour Program
Begin your Trip to Morocco from Marrakech with a scenic drive to the coastal city of Essaouira. Travel through argan tree forests where you might spot goats climbing trees. Arrive in Essaouira, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its fortified medina, fresh seafood, and artistic vibe. Explore the picturesque port, the Scala du Port ramparts, and the vibrant medina. Enjoy the Atlantic breeze and relaxed atmosphere. Overnight in Essaouira.
Full day to explore Essaouira at your leisure. Discover the city's rich history as a former Portuguese fortress and important trading post. Visit the fish market, watch local fishermen return with their catch, and enjoy fresh seafood at the port. Wander through the medina's narrow streets filled with art galleries, woodworking shops (famous for thuya wood), and artisan boutiques. Optional activities include beach relaxation, horse riding along the shore, or a visit to the Jewish Quarter (Mellah). Overnight in Essaouira.
Depart Essaouira and travel south along the Atlantic coast to Agadir, Morocco's premier beach resort. Enjoy the panoramic views from the Kasbah overlooking the bay. Continue to Tiznit, a historic town surrounded by impressive ramparts and famous for its silver jewelry. Explore the medina with its traditional souks where local artisans create exquisite silver pieces. Tiznit offers a glimpse into authentic Moroccan craftsmanship away from tourist crowds. Overnight in Tiznit.
Journey inland to the Anti-Atlas Mountains and the stunning pink granite landscapes of Tafraout. The road winds through dramatic mountain scenery, passing traditional Berber villages and almond orchards. Upon arrival, explore the unique rock formations including the famous "Painted Rocks" where Belgian artist Jean Vérame created colorful artwork on natural boulders. Visit the traditional market and enjoy the serene mountain atmosphere. This area offers some of Morocco's most spectacular and less-visited landscapes. Overnight in Tafraout.
Depart Tafraout and travel to Taroudant, often called "Little Marrakech" for its impressive red-earth ramparts and bustling souks. Explore the city's two main squares and traditional markets. After lunch, begin your return journey to Marrakech, crossing the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Test pass (offering spectacular views) or the more direct route.
