Your day begins with a scenic morning drive from Marrakech to the windswept Atlantic coast, arriving in the enchanting port city of Essaouira. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a knowledgeable local guide for a comprehensive walking tour.
Your exploration delves into the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Medina, a captivating maze of blue-shuttered whitewashed buildings.
