The panel of sightseeing tours and excursions chosen are aimed at providing a good overview of the main flavours of this wonder city and its surroundings. Its inescapable “souks” (market places) and magic “Jemaa El Fnaa” Square or the marvels of its monuments taking you back into the various steps of the city History. In the surrounding areas, you may choose to explore the green valley of Ourika and its typical Berber villages, or immerse yourself into changing sceneries going through valleys and via the desert “Kik Plateau” surprisingly leading to the breathtaking scenery of Lalla Takerkoust Lake. You also may get a foretaste of the desert going to Ouarzazate, gate to the “Kasbahs Road”, or visit the charming and famous windy city of Essaouira, well known spot for kite surfer and venue of the yearly “Gnaouas Festival”.
As for evening fine dining places, we highly recommend the “Al Kasbah” where you may sample traditional Moroccan Food while enjoying Moroccan folk entertainment and the surprising Fantasia.
