2-Day Trip to Ouarzazate

Guided Tour of Essaouira – Medina – Skalas – Essaouira Lodge. Upon arrival, join a half‑day guided tour through Derb Laalouj to the Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah Museum, dating back to the 19th century. Explore the Medina’s narrow streets, craft shops, and bazaars offering Thuya wood items, leather, carpets, and silver jewelry. Enjoy lunch in a local fish specialty restaurant before continuing to the Skalas, the historic fortifications overlooking the ocean. In the afternoon, check into Essaouira Lodge, a 3‑hectare property nestled in a Thuya forest. The lodge offers apartments, suites, houses, and luxury villas, all furnished in chic Moroccan style. Relax at the heated swimming pool, unwind in the Oriental Hammam, and savor refined Mediterranean cuisine at the Pool House Restaurant.

Surfing lessons (4 hours, €60 per person) are offered in small groups, while kitesurfing lessons (4 hours, €110 per person) include full equipment and professional instruction. If you prefer alternatives, you may choose a 3‑hour horse or camel ride with picnic, a quad excursion, or a golf session at Essaouira Golf Mogador.
