Itinerary
Day 1: Marrakech
Arrival day. Make your own way to the joining hotel before 2:30PM. After a welcome meeting the group will attend a cooking demonstration and learn how to make tanjia, a different form of tagine.
We'll make the dish and seal it in the clay pot to cook overnight in the hamman. Then, explore the various food vendors in the Medina with your CEO and learn about the different ingredients. End the day with evening tea on the rooftop terrace overlooking the main square of Jemaa El Fnaa.
Day 2: Marrakech
Visit the important sites within the medina this morning. Make stops to Jardin Secret and Bahia Palace. End the morning adventure with a trip to the bakery to learn a brief introduction into Moroccan bread making, then have a taste.
Collect your tanjia lunch on the way back to the Riad. Enjoy your own cooking as lunch on the terrace. The afternoon and evening are free for you to explore Marrakech on your own. Don't miss a chance to visit Jardins Majorelle with their vibrant blue garden houses and thriving plants.
Day 3: Marrakech
Set out on a full day excursion to Ouzoud, a beautiful oasis waterfall near the Atlas Mountains. Walk up the stairs to the top of the falls and enjoy breathtaking views of the flowing water. After a delicious lunch right near the falls the group will travel back to Marrakech. Enjoy a local dinner in the heart of Jamee Lafna Square.
Day 4: Marrakech/Agadir
Take advantage of a free morning in Marrakech to do some walking around and maybe shop in the medina for spices and Moroccan pottery. Depart for Agadir in the early afternoon. Upon arrival, visit Souk Lhad, the local market and have dinner on your own from one of the many food stalls.
Day 5: Agadir/Sidi Kaouki
Today we go local. Drive to Sidi Kaoukki and walk along Tamri beach to take in the views of the shoreline and rock formations before an exhilerating sandboarding experience on the nearby towering dunes. Finish the journey to Sidi Kaouki for lunch and take part in a cooking class with a local family. After lunch, have tea on the terrace and end the day with free time to simply go for a walk along the beautiful waterfront of this small fishing town or stroll down the beach and search for the perfect place to watch sunset.
Day 6: Sidi Kaouki/Oualidia
Travel to Oualidia today with a few stops en route. First up is Essaouira for a visit to this historic walled city. Spend time in the old city and oldest international port city in Morocco. Choose to grab some lunch or visit the beach and sample some of the fresh fish dishes prepared by the local food stalls along the water. Then continue further north to Safi, famous for having the largest pottery market in Morocco. See the old town and the Ceramic Market. You'll arrive in Oualidia in the evening.
Day 7: Oualidia
Enjoy a full free day in Oualidia. Here the beach is beautiful and there's a lagoon that allows for a more quiet area for swimming away from the surf. Later in the day choose to go to the OSTREA oyster farm for a farewell dinner overlooking the beach. In the evening if the weather is permits, the group will enjoy the sunset.
Day 8: Oualidia/Marrakech
After breakfast transfer back to Marrakech, about three hours from Ouilidia, arriving around 12pm. The tour ends on arrival to the airport or at the Marrakech hotel for those have booked post-tour nights.
Please do not book departing flights any earlier than 4PM.

In general tour was very good, just too much time in marrakesh. I think the goodbye meal in marrakesh could have been in a restaurant and not a street food place. The activities were very good, really enjoyed the cooking sessions.

Great cultural experience of Marrakesh together with a good amount of time spent by the Moroccan coast. Loved Marrakesh but the coast was absolutely outstanding. Knowledgeable and passionate CEO.

As I stated earlier. It was a great tour however I wish Abdellah were more forthcoming with extemporaneous information and that the last two days had an activity or two. Morocco is an amazing and varied country. I enjoyed my adventure.

Great trip to see the many sides of Moracco. Costal town of Essouaria and Agdir balance the bustle of Marrakesh beautifully, would have loved to add Fes for two days
