Day 1: Marrakech Essaouira
Pick up at 08 am in Marrakech at your Riad/Hotel and travel west to the Atlantic coast tour. Visit the UNESCO protected city of Essaouria. Essaouria – an Arabic term for “the wall”- is an enchanting fishing harbor reflecting the Portuguese character of settlers from the 16th century. The enormous
fortress of white washed, blue-shuttered houses (built at sea-level) is famous for its fine handcrafts. The city flourishes in marquetry, the art of working wood with ebony, mother-of-pearl, and silver threads. Night in Hotel or Riad.
Day 2: Essaouira – Agadir
Departure from Essaouria towards Agadir. Visit to Sidi Kaouki beach; its undisturbed sand dunes and argon shrubs make this beach one of the most beautiful in all of Morocco.
