Day 1: On January 21, we fly from Istanbul to Casablanca with Turkish Airlines. After arriving at Casablanca Airport, we meet our vehicle and depart for Marrakech. Following a breakfast break, we begin our Marrakech tour. After seeing the 12th-century city walls (UNESCO World Heritage Site), Bab Agnaou Gate, Koutoubia Mosque, and the Royal Palace, we take a walk in the Medina, the oldest settlement in the city. We then arrive at the famous Jemaa El Fna Square. We will have free time in the late afternoon to fully experience the lively atmosphere of the square. During the Medina tour, we will visit Babagnau Spice Shop, where we will have the opportunity to purchase argan oil and various spices. We then proceed to our hotel to rest; dinner and overnight stay will be at our hotel.
Day 2: After breakfast, we set off toward the Atlas Mountains. Along the way, we take a one-hour camel ride in the El Haouz Valley. We then continue to the Ourika Valley, where we visit a Berber village and drink traditional Berber tea. After lunch, we return to our hotel in Marrakech. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel,
Day 3: After breakfast, we depart for Essaouira. Located on the Atlantic Ocean coast, the city resembles a typical Mediterranean town with its blue-painted doors, frames, and white houses. Once a port city during the Roman period, Essaouira today has the appearance of a charming fishing town. As we proceed into the inner parts of the city, Morocco’s classic tile-red buildings come into view. “Essaouira” means “wall” in Berber; its known name in the 16th century was Mogador. Today, its original fortress walls still extend all the way to the ocean. After visiting the fortress, we take a Medina tour where you will feel as if you are inside a film. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Essaouira was an important trading center in the past. At the end of the day, we return to our hotel in Marrakech. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
Day 4: Free time all day. (Points that could not be visited due to limited time during the Marrakech tour will be visited during the free day program.) We leave the hotel for the Chez Ali dinner show program. After this enjoyable dinner, transfer to the hotel and overnight stay at the hotel.
