Get ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime! Morocco is one of the most culturally rich and interesting places in the world. Bordering the Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, Morocco’s vast and diverse landscape features ancient cities, stretches of empty beaches, and stark deserts and mountains touched by Berber, Arabian and European influences.
Where will we stay?
Our Morocco trip is unique as you will not be staying in one location, but rather traveling to two different cities, which in our opinion represent the “must see” highlights of Morocco:
MARRAKECH: DAYS 1 – 2
Our trip will begin in the culturally rich city of Marrakech. Nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech was founded as a city in 1062 AD, and is world renowned for its souks (markets) and medieval maze-like streets, stunning mosques and palaces, relaxing hammans (Moroccan baths), delicious food, and much more. A perfect place to assimilate and integrate into life in Morocco, we will spend our first day and a half here, before heading to the coastal walled city of Essaouira on Day 2 of our trip.
ESSAOUIRA: DAYS 2 – 7
(Drive time from Marrakech to Essaouira ~ 3 hours)
After a scenic drive through desert landscapes and Argan Tree farmlands, we will arrive at the coastal city of Essaouira. Nicknamed the Pearl of the Atlantic, this cultural city is famed for its rich music and arts scene, and was home to many famous artists and musicians in the 60’s and 70’s. The old walled in medina boasts some of the finest handmade arts and crafts (get ready to shop ‘til you drop!), as well as all of the traditional colors, aromas, music and spices of Morocco. Essaouira features great restaurant options, and tons of fresh seafood. A large crescent bay, with calm waters and consistent winds, sits just south of the walled city, and has attracted wind and kite surfers, and beach-goers, for decades. Retreaters will want to save their shopping for the souks of Essaouira, bringing back a taste of Morocco with them.
We will stay at the beautiful Jardin Retreat Center, an approximately 10 min drive from downtown Essaouira, set peacefully amongst argan and olive tree orchards. This retreat center features a heated pool and lounge area, restaurant and bar, a dedicated yoga studio, as well as 11 houses which can sleep up to 25 people comfortably. During our 5 nights in Essaouira, we will have two free days to explore this remarkable city, as well as two days in which we will schedule some of the most popular excursions: camel rides, cooking demonstrations and an argan / olive farm tour.
MARRAKECH: DAY 7
(Drive time from Essaouira to Marrakech ~ 3 hours)
On the morning of our last day, we will depart from Essaouira back to Marrakech, where return flights home await. Retreaters can of course extend their stay in Morocco from here – perhaps venturing to the Sahara Desert or to northern points, or booking a longer layover in a European city on the way home
