Overview

Duration
8 days
Starts in
Casablanca
Ends in
Casablanca

Not every Moroccan journey needs the desert. This 8-day loop follows the wild Atlantic coast south of Casablanca. You visit the Portuguese city of El Jadida and its underground cistern, then the oyster lagoon of Oualidia. Two nights in Essaouira give you time to enjoy its blue fishing boats, sea ramparts and relaxed medina. The coastal road continues past argan forests and surf beaches to Agadir, before you head inland to Taroudant, the 'Little Marrakech' with its ochre walls. Crossing the High Atlas by the Tizi n'Test pass, you reach Marrakech for two nights before returning to Casablanca. Sea air, seafood and slow travel.
