Enjoy a delicious traditional breakfast at your riad before starting your morning tour. Explore the famous Skala de la Ville fortress and browse local artisan woodwork shops.
We visit a community art center that provides sustainable jobs for local youths. This allows you to connect directly with the inspiring residents of the city.
Take a relaxing stroll along the wide sandy beach after lunch. Finally, enjoy a comfortable drive back to Marrakech in the late afternoon.
Today we will travel towards the Atlantic Ocean to Essaouira.
The name Essaouira comes from ‘’ AL SOUIRAH ‘’ meaning the little fortress surrounded by walls. The town is bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. Because it lies right on the sea, Essaouira was obliged to defend itself from pirate assaults from all shores, and sheltered behind walls reputed impossible to storm.
Along the way, we will pick up some supplies and stop to visit the Social Center in Al-Hanshan. This is an institution that cares for elderly people without a home or a family, and it also cares for people with a mental disability who are homeless and have no breadwinners. We will have lunch in this association and give them some supplies to support their good work.
