"Life altering experience"
"I can truly say that our recent trip to Morocco with SaharaTrek was a life altering experience. I wish more of us Americans were able to connect in this way with a Muslim culture."

Day 3: Essaouira to Marrakech
You'll
have some time this morning to enjoy Essaouira after breakfast
before checking out and being driven the 3 hours to Marrakech.
It's a mostly unremarkable drive, the coastal hills giving way to the
green of the Marrakech plain.
After
you arrive Marrakech and get settled into your riad, rest of the
afternoon is yours to explore. For a great first adventure in Marrakech, head to the Djemaa el-Fna (gem alf-NA), a square filled with musicians, story tellers, snake charmers, dancers, and almost every variety of food to be found in Morocco at a cost lower than you can imagine. Be forewarned though, the Djemaa el-Fna is THE place for pickpockets and hustlers. So leave your valuables in your room and only bring enough money (that you won't miss if swiped) for food and a little something for performers that you enjoy.
