Your Itinerary
Day 1 - Coast First
Arrive at Marrakech airport and within 5 minutes of clearing customs you are on the way to the coast around Essaouira with one of our drivers. The journey itself is a fascinating introduction to Morocco. As you leave Marrakech you will see camels, mules and donkeys, storks nesting in mosque towers, whole families piled on a scooter and the hammada desert with the Atlas looming behind. As you near the coast the landscape softens with hills of olive trees and the Essaouira countryside’s most famous sight – goats grazing in the branches of argan trees…
Some people like to stay in the centre of Essaouira but the most popular option for families is Rebali Riads just to the south for the proximity to the beach, the selection of pools and the attention from the staff. This trip is based on a family of 4 in a private villa so you get your own space but also daily service including breakfast served on your private terrace each morning
Day 2-4 - Get Busy
There is so much to do at Rebali and in the area you will struggle to fit it all in and many people choose a week or more just here. A visit into Essaouira is essential for shopping or an evening meal – other favourite family activities include:
– Quad bike tour of the dunes
– Moroccan cooking demonstrations
– Camel trekking on the beach
– Amazing horse riding
– Surfing and kitesurfing lessons
– Visits to the local Berber village for lunch
And if this is too much rushing around send the kids on a tortoise hunt in the Rebali Gardens and relax by the pool or sneak a visit to the spa…
Day 5 - Head to Marrakech
You can switch to Marrakech on day 4 or day 5 depending on your requirements. If you have older children then we suggest opting for a riad in the centre of town but for this itinerary we are suggesting Oasis Lodges around 30 minutes out of town. It is a fabulous place to stay with direct access to Oasiria Water Park.
Day 6 & 7 - Marrakech & Atlas
For the days around Marrakech we recommend the following:
– A full day in the Atlas Mountains including a guide and lunch in one of the Berber Villages (included in the price)
– An evening trip into Marrakech to explore the souks and see the main square come to life
– Lazy time around the beautiful pool…
Day 8 - Home
It is only 30 minutes back to the airport and your driver will arrive in plenty of time for your flight. Being so close makes it a relaxing end to a holiday with plenty going on for all the family
