Why drive straight to Marrakech when you can follow the ocean? This 5-day tour from Casablanca takes the coastal road south, with stops in the UNESCO-listed Portuguese city of El Jadida and the calm lagoon of Oualidia, famous for its oysters. You then reach Essaouira, a whitewashed port town with blue boats, sea ramparts and a laid-back medina. From there, the road crosses the argan plains to Marrakech, where you spend two nights to enjoy its palaces, gardens, souks and the unforgettable Jemaa el-Fna square, before returning to Casablanca. Perfect for a first, relaxed taste of Morocco.
