Fascinating family walking, cultural and adventure holiday in Morocco
We call this the Essaouira Sandwich. Stay in 3 stunning hotels in 3 completely different parts of Morocco over 10 days (or longer if you have time). A luxury riad in Marrakech Medina, a stunning beach hotel in Essaouira and then a mountain top Kasbah. All with private transfers.
A wonderful trekking and cultural adventure along the Atlantic Coast in Morocco with time to explore the UNESCO gem of Essaouira and magical city of Marrakech.
For a first visit to Morocco the combination of the beautiful coastal town of Essaouira and the vibrant souks of Marrakech is a perfect introduction. We'd also recommend including a day in the Atlas Mountains.
Morocco has a unique cuisine and goes a lot deeper than the tagine..there are exquisite pastries and vegetable salads. Enrolling at a cookery school is unnecessary to understand the important aspects of Moroccan cuisine -it is about meeting the people and cooking and eating together as family or as friends.
