Your Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrive in Marrakech
Arrive at Marrakech airport where your driver will meet you and take you the 15 minutes into the old Medina and you will find your riad, a traditional merchant house converted into a boutique hotel. There are lots of places to choose from and Riad Chergui is a good choice as it is well located and has a proper swimming pool rather than the “plunge” pool in most riads.
Day 2 & 3 - Soak up the Souks
Spend the next 2 days enjoying everything Marrakech has to offer. Take an early morning visit to the Majorelle gardens before it gets too hot and all the busloads of tourists arrive. Spend afternoons visiting the various mosques and historical sites, not forgetting to indulge yourself with a traditional Moroccan exfoliation and massage in a local hammam.
Lastly, and not to be missed is the main square at night where you can wander amongst the snake charmers, storytellers and henna tattooists before sitting atop a rooftop bar with a chilled glass of wine watching the action unfold beneath you.
Day 4 - Head for the Coast
Your driver will collect you from your riad and take you to the coast. Here our favourite place to stay is Rebali Riads where you have beautiful pools and gardens and miles of beach. You can just have a room but if you are a family it is best to have a villa, even with your own pool
Days 5-8 - Pool time?
Essaouira and the surrounding area is our favourite part of Morocco. The town is about 20-30 mins drive away for shopping and restaurants and you can either go by bus or taxi or have a car for a few days. There is also tons to do at Rebali itself: camel trekking, horse-riding, surfing, cooking courses, tennis and an onsite spa. And if you have a minute relax by the pool…
Days 9 & 10 - Into the Atlas
From the coast head back towards Marrakech but this time stay up in the Atlas Mountains. A spectacular place to stay is Kasbah Bab Ourika perched on its own summit overlooking the Ourika valley. A great base for some mountain walks, visits to the markets in the surrounding villages and just soaking up the views. You are also only an hour away from the airport so finishing here makes for a relaxing journey home.
Day 11 - Home
From the Atlas it is just an hour or so back to Marrakech airport so hopefully a lazy start before our driver comes to pick you up
