 Day 6: Marrakech
on your ownToday is your
day to get up close and personal with the city. After
breakfast at your accommodations, the rest of the day is yours. Head
back into the souks for some shopping adventures, or take a break at the
Garden Majorelle. If spending too much time in one place isn't your
style, then we offer day trips outside of Marrakech.
 Even
though you'll be traveling over the High Atlas tomorrow on your trip
south to the Sahara, you might want to spend more time in the mountains.
Take a day trip
into the Ourika Valley of the High Atlas Mountains at a leisurely pace.
Essaouira
is a walled city perched on the rocky shores of the Atlantic. Designed
by a European hired by the Sultan, it was once a major trading port, but
with its sheltered long white beach, quaint fishing harbor, and excellent
seafood, its now known as a tourist destination. With its bright, airy,
 narrow streets with whitewashed buildings and blue doors, Essaouira seems strangely out of place. Its laid back atmosphere is a stark
contrast to other historical cities in Morocco, making it a nice break
from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. |
