10 Days Morocco Tour from Agadir

Day 1: Agadir – Essaouira

During your 10 days Morocco tour from Agadir, you will visit the city of Agadir with its beautiful beach and cucumbers, souks, historic kasbahs, and numerous cafes where you can get busy or relax to your heart’s content. Then head to Essaouira, a wonderfully quiet fishing town on the coast, where you can explore its Phoenician, Berber, Portuguese, Jewish, and French past in well-preserved architecture, small alleys, and a charming medina. Stroll through quiet squares, browse craft stores and galleries, admire thuja wood artifacts found only in Morocco, or head to the port to inspect the day’s catch.

Day 2: Essaouira – Unagha – Marrakech

Reach Marrakech via a scenic inland road with a forest of argan trees (sometimes with goats!) that grow only in this region of the world. During this relaxing drive, you will stop at cooperatives that produce argan oil. Overnight stay in Marrakech.

Day 3: Visit Marrakech

After breakfast in the riad, you will explore Marrakech, the “red city of Morocco.” Your tour guide will show you the most important historical and cultural sites, including the Saadien tombs, the El Bahia and El Badi palaces, and the Ben Youssef Koranic school. You will have lunch at a restaurant near the square and in the afternoon visit the Majorelle Gardens, the Menara and the Koutoubia Tower.
