A round trip from Casablanca that can be adjusted in length and accommodation, with more time on the coast if you prefer. It is private: no groups and no fixed dates.
6 days · 5 nights · from Casablanca to Casablanca
Casablanca → Azemmour
Pick-up at Casablanca airport when your flight lands, with a sign bearing the agency's name, and a short drive to Azemmour. It is a small, quiet town: the walls and fortifications around the medina are very well preserved, and the old town, set on top of a cliff, overlooks the Oum er Rbia river and its estuary. North of town stretches the long sandy beach of El Haouzia.
Overnight: riad in the medina · Azemmour
Azemmour → El Jadida → Oualidia
After breakfast, you head south along the Atlantic coast. First stop is El Jadida, formerly Mazagan, fortified by the Portuguese in the early 16th century and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. You'll see the cisterns, the gates and the sea walls, with time left for the newer town and its markets. Then the coastal road to Oualidia, more scenic and less crowded, with plenty of places along the way to stop for seafood.
Overnight: guesthouse · Oualidia
Oualidia → Safi · Hamidouch → Essaouira
Breakfast, then south along the coast, one beach after another. In Safi, an industrial port city, you'll see the old Portuguese fortress. Farther on, the coastline turns high and rugged. Stop at the Kasbah of Hamidouch, the citadel Moulay Ismail built in the 17th century at the mouth of the Tensift river. You'll reach Essaouira in the afternoon and settle into your riad in the heart of the medina.
Overnight: riad in the medina · Essaouira, 2 nights
Essaouira → full day → at your own pace
A full day in Essaouira at your own pace. The medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, keeps its ramparts facing the ocean and whitewashed houses that recall the white villages of Andalusia. Phoenicians, Romans, Berbers, Portuguese and French all passed through, and the town is still a crossroads of cultures. At lunchtime it is worth having the day's fish and seafood, which arrives at the fish market every morning. The beach is close by, and you can surf if you like.
Overnight: same accommodation · Essaouira
Essaouira → Marrakech → Casablanca
After breakfast, you head north by way of Marrakech. If you leave early, there is time for a stop in the red city before continuing: the highway links Marrakech and Casablanca in about two and a half hours. In Casablanca, you'll visit the Hassan II Mosque, built on the shore right by the ocean and one of the largest in the world. Check in at your hotel for the last night.
