Leaving the Atlantic coast of Agadir behind, this journey takes you deep into the heart of Morocco’s most iconic city. After a scenic drive through the High Atlas foothills, you’ll step into the enchanting chaos of Marrakech.
The day begins with a guided walk past the impressive Koutoubia Mosque, followed by a visit to the elegant Bahia Palace, with its ornate ceilings and tranquil courtyards. The souks are a feast for the senses—spices, carpets, and colorful lanterns fill every alley.
By midday, the legendary Jemaa el-Fnaa Square comes alive with snake charmers, henna artists, and street performers. Lunch can be enjoyed in a rooftop restaurant overlooking the square, before exploring further on your own.
If time allows, end the day at the serene Majorelle Gardens, once owned by Yves Saint Laurent, with its vibrant cobalt-blue architecture.
As evening falls, you return to Agadir with the sights, sounds, and colors of Marrakech etched in your memory.
