Itinerary
- 1Essaouira day trip from Marrakech is a must do day trip. Essaouira Situates in 175 kilometers away from Marrakech. The beach of Essaouira is a long ribbon of around ten kilometres bathed in surf. Its sheer size is surprising and its tranquillity is reassuring. There is an invigorating sensation from the ocean breeze as soon as you set foot on the immaculate sand., you will also admire the view of goats on trees. Essaouira is a medieval city known for its annual festival of Gnaoua music. The UNESCO considers the city to be an international heritage. There are many other things to admire during your Essaouira day trip from Marrakech such as its pleasant weather, place Moulay El Hassan, La Skala,the port, the ramparts, and the Jewish district 'Derb Lealouj'. thanks to the ocean breeze, Essaouira benefits from cool air. Your driver will pick you up at 08am, and start your Essaouira day trip from Marrakech, enjoying the natural surrounding country side on this Essaouira excursion. You have the opportunity to visit an argan Cooperative on the way as the the region is known for argan oil. See how women in the Cooperative work hardly and with enthusiasm to get the oil from the Argan nuts to make cosmetics or delicious oil for food. You will discover an operation that requires some time and efforts from the women involved. Once we arrive in Essaouira, you have the full day to explore medina which is surrounded by medieval walls, with a castle standing at their Southern edge. Its white-washed and blue-shuttered houses give it a gorgeous look. Take a stroll in its amusing narrow streets exploring the ancient French and Portuguese architecture enjoy the beach, visit the harbour and enjoy a delcious lunch in one of the restaurants of the fishing port .if you wish you can take a local guide for a city tour,but we recommend to go all over on your own because it is the best way to visit this small and quiet town . Return to marrakech in the evening at around 6pm.

- YitzhakJoy180 contributionsPure Joy & MagicPure magic ✨🏜🌵 the service of the team and the entire organisation was pure incredible. I am travelling the last 20 years all continents; this team here truly knows SERVICE and understands Customer Centricity. The desert is magic on its own, wow… almost being able to touch the stars and feeling the moon right above you. Wow. Thanks so much 🙏🏽 I will come again very soon 🔥🥁🌊Written October 31, 2021
- anasso5490 contributionsExcellentI did a quad biking and camel riding with this agency and I think Walid runs it and I just want to say that it has been an incredible experience, great service! the employees were really friendly and nice to talk to and I really and truly enjoyed every minute. Also, to top it up we had a nice dinner with an amazing view at the end of the day which was delicious! Thanks a lot guys, will be back soon! :)Written September 2, 2021
- ajpo19750 contributionsMarrakech and Agafay DesertI had a wonderfull time in Marrakech and Agafay Desert, with a trip carefully organized by Walid. Super friendly, helpfull, concerned and very professional. I highly recomment his services to whomever is visiting Morocco. 5 Star service, thanks Walid!Written June 30, 2021
- 32micahm0 contributionsHad a great evening in the desertOverall it was a great experience. Most of our time was spent traveling in a mini bus, but time at camp was really worth it. A couple highlights: - Riding on the camels. They seemed to be treated ok and it was neat to walk by all the local agriculture (mostly melons). This was not a very sandy area, but there were some dunes. It felt like we were in a huge flat crater. - Eating dinner with our guide in the big tent. He told us about several berber traditions and what it was like to go from a nomadic lifestyle to working in tourism. He included all the members of our group, speaking English or Spanish as needed. The food was very good, and I was glad to have several questions answered about moroccan cuisine, such as learning that "sheeba" is wormwood/absinthe, and it's what they put in the tea when it's cold outside. - Our tent was simple but very clean and spacious. Much nicer than I expected. Areas for improvement / things to keep in mind - When booking this trip we got a confirmation number and the name of the tour company, but it was a bit tricky to figure out who to call/email for them to pick you up (and we didn't speak French). Definitely work with someone at your riad/hostel to get in touch with this tour company so you don't need to worry about it. Evidently, even though you book months in advance, the details of where to pick you up are decided last minute. - The tours along the route to Zagora leave a lot to be desired. On the way there, they stopped at the place they filmed Gladiator and some Game of Thrones episodes, but the tour guide there was mediocre and you mostly just wander around, so bring a big hat and plenty of water. Also, you'll need to pay the guide 30 DH or, so have some small bills handy. On the way back, we mostly just stopped to use the restroom. - The restaurants along the way are pricey, for tourists. I was on vacation and didn't mind spending 120 DH a meal, but if you're on a budget, bringing your own snacks would be a good call. One final silver lining of the tour is it's in a group, so you get to meet interesting folks from around the world.Written April 12, 2020
- Adrian6547890 contributionsAmazing 2 Days trip!Trip to Zagora was really nice and from organisation side cannot say a bad word. We had nice guide who gave us some interesting information regarding to places we visited. There was a time mostly for a bit of everything - admire of some sights and take some photos. All in all we were happy from all the trip and we came back fully satisfied. We had no problem before the trip to contact with company to ask for some details or when we had some doubts. Straight away we booked next trip to Essaouira with a company which was nice also! Thank You very much for all the experience!Written March 2, 2019

- Cindy H0 contributionsThe best guide to book in MoroccoWaleed:-) Thank you so much for everything you have done while me and my friend were in Marrakech. Your humor and the fact, that you showed us all the great local (secret) spots made our trip so much more memorable and special! I can highly recommend this company and the professional behavior they show. Waleed has a great humor and fulfilled all of our wishes, may it be to get the perfect picture of us in front of one of the sighseeing sites or just to go to a dinner spot, where the locals go - or even to have our personal Henna painter invited to our hotel and giving us a Henna session combined with a local tea ceremony. Thank you for everything!Written March 15, 2018

Also, the guide is a great chef and a talented musician. During the trip I saw amazing places and beautiful nature which a few had a chance to see. Also, the guide took care of my comfort needs and safety. Definitely recommend and want to go again! AgataWritten August 27, 2016
- Najmul H0 contributionsTrip to CasablancaA thoroughly enjoyable and informative day trip to visit local sites in Casablanca. Walid arrived punctually with his driver in a spacious and comfortable vehicle. During the journey we had a lot of interesting conversations and laughs, and Walid accommodated to everything we wanted to see when we got there. We visited the mosque and the beach and had great food by the sea! I would highly recommend Marrakech Travel Big Smiles and Walid in particular. He is knowledgeable and speaks many languages, ensuring a great experience for his customers! Big Smiles all round! 😌Written August 26, 2016

My sister and I had a great trip to Essaouira thanks to Walid. He and his driver were prompt, professional and friendly. Walid showed us the best shops in the souk and we spent a fabulous afternoon having lunch on the beach and exploring the city.
Walid is extremely knowledgeable in all things Morocco. He guided us through every aspect of our travels throughout Morocco including fine tuning our itinerary, booking hotels and tranfers between cities.
I would not hesitate to recommend Walid to anyone travelling to Morocco. He can assist in creating the best itinerary from beginning to end. Thanks again Walid!
