Marrakech is the top tourist destination in Morocco, both for foreigners and Moroccans alike. Stretch back in history with the early Almoravid founders in the 11th century who made it the capital and built the ancient wall surrounding the nowadays old medina, Marrakech is a city that still preserves a huge part of Moroccan medieval history.
You will have a guided tour through what Marrakech offers; the historical sites of Koutoubia, El Badi Palace, Bahia Palace, Dar Si Said Museum, and Saadi Tombs. Walk through the narrow pathways and alleys of the old medina, typical architecture for many old cities in Morocco. Enjoy the traditional souks and products, and meet the indigenous locals. The locals are much known for their hospitality and the sense of humor.
You have lunch in your Riad, a traditional Marrakchi meal, or you can have your meal outside in a traditional restaurant of your choice.
The afternoon is free. Take the opportunity to walk through the old Medina by your own. It is completely safe and difficult to lose your track because you have a plenty of direction marks everywhere. In case you get lost, which is rare, ask anyone and they would happily show you the way.
The Jamaa El Fana Square is a spot that you don’t want to miss especially during the night. The square becomes beautifully crowded with visitors from all nationalities. There you find groups forming circles for tales telling, traditional songs, comedy, acrobatic shows, and many more. You would spend a lovely night in spot full of beans.

Day 3Marrakech - Essaouira - Agadir

Spend a day full of joy and excitement exploring the coastal part of Morocco. Today is dedicated to exploring the musteries of Essaouira and Agadir on the coat of the Atlantic.
In the morning, we leave Marrakech and set off for Essaouira.
Essaouira drags back a long and rich history behind it. From Carthage’s trading post, the Moroccan Berber king Juba, the Roman settlement, to the middle ages ND the battles between the Portuguese and the ruling Muslim dynasties. Archeological excavations have brought to light many of that history. Among findings were a Roman vase, coins and other ancient artifacts. Visit Museum and a look at all those excavated objects as well as other Moroccan handmade furniture, tools, and clothes.
The ramparts of the city is worth visiting. Enjoy watching the fortified walls and armory of the past and recall those past memories through what this has preserved. Take a walk through the beautiful colorful alleys inside the old Medina answer it’s white-Bleu decorated traditional houses.

Day 4Agadir visit

Agadir is an old city in Morocco; it was a commercial post for Phoenicians in the early history and played a significant role for the Portuguese colonization during their control of many coastal outposts in the medieval time. But in 1960, Agadir sffered a heavy earthquake that leveled the city and destroyed all ancient monuments except the Kasbah on the hill beside the beach. Yet, Agadir is still an attraction to many visitors. Its beautiful white sand beaches, the bleu crystal-clear sky, and the warm weather all combine to offer a great mesmerizing travel experience.
Visit Agadir Kasbah on the top of the hill and take a glimpse of the whole city in a panoramic view that mixes the crystal-blue sea with the green hills and white washed buildings. Kasbah was founded in the 16th century as a fortified trading post, and the whole city was in within.
Descend down the hill and join the beach, one of the most charming beaches in the country. Swimming in Agadir’s beach is a bliss. Its calm clear waters, moderate sea-waves, and sand offer a great swimming journey. The beach is also full of comfort facilities like restaurants, sunshades, and even some other activities like squads.
To a glimpse a part of the common memory and some heritage of the city, rend a visit to the Museum of Amazigh Culture that displays traditional Berber jewelry, carpets, pottery, and other artifacts and excavated objects. Another memory keeper is the Agadir Memorial Museun, built as a commemoration of the Earthquake, and displays the history of Agadir and photos from the early 20th century.
Enjoy a traditional Berber meal, typical to Amazigh culture, in one of the restaurants.
From history and beach, we start another unique journey, this time to the wild to meet the Nile Crocodiles. We pay a visit to the Crocopark, a wildlife resort meant to preserve the wild and reconstruct the wildlife that has seen many parts of it vanishing. The Nile Crocodiles lived in Agadir and parts of Morocco couples of decades ago before vanishing due to hunting. Now you have the chance to meet them closely after building this resort that mimics their natural habitats.
In the afternoon, we drive to Taroudante where we spend the night.
