Overview

- 9 Days Tour From Tangier To Essaouira, Morocco Along The Atlantic

The cities of the Moroccan coast are made to receive. It is this openness to the world that gives their old medinas this special charm. They display an architecture mixing Roman, Merinid, Andalusian or Portuguese heritage and for which empires clashed. These riches are enhanced by wide expanses of sand and a mild climate all year round. At the crossroads of a sea and an ocean, your journey begins in Tangier, torn between two continents. His story is told at the Kasbah Museum of Mediterranean Cultures, housed in the former Dar el Makhzen Palace, once the residence of the sultans. We then take a break at the Hafa café, a legendary address from the 1920s and an artists' refuge. Then you leave for Moulay Bousselham, a small fishing village and seaside resort still preserved from mass tourism. A haven of tranquility offering a splendid panorama - on one side the lagoons, on the other the sea. A little further south, Rabat, the capital, which is often remembered as a haunt of pirates. Since then, the city has settled down well. Then it's time to leave for Oualidia, one of the most authentic seaside resorts on the Moroccan coast. At the table, we enjoy a freshly caught spider crab. You spend the last days in Essaouira. The old Mogador seduces with its bohemian spirit and the charm of the interwoven alleys. We live here to the rhythm of the sea, on the long sandy beach or during a break fed by a few sardines, on the pier. This trip will put you in contact with all the happy contrasts of the West.

Tipping

Tipping is not compulsary, but is encouraged for good service in Morocco. The general rule of thumb is to tip 5~10% in restaurants or to private services such as porters. Your guide and driver would also appreciate this kind of gratitude at the end of your tour. For Taxi Drivers, typically rounding up the fare for convenience is recommended, as well as at market stalls.

Morocco is home to some of the oldest retail cultures in the world, meaning there's no shortage of souqs waiting to be explored. Haggling in Morocco is expected and welcomed. You'll notice prices are not often listed on items in the souqs, so evaluate what you're willing to pay and come prepared to bargain with the shopkeeper - it's all part of the fun!

Leather Goods

Fez

Moroccan leather is highly unique and the centuries-old tanning techniques are still practiced across the country today. The most famous tannery is Chouara Tanner of Fez, making it the perfect place to purchase quality, hand-crafted leather goods including slippers, bags, jackets, belts and wallets. Prices for leather goods start at approximately 10 USD.

Berber Rugs

Countrywide

Berber rugs and carpets are traditionally the craftwork of nomadic women from the Middle Atlas region and date back to the 2nd century BC. They are made from virgin wool from the sheep and can be found in souqs across Marrakech in all shades, sizes and shapes. Rug shopowners will encourage you into their store with the offer of tea, but feel no obligation to buy. Rug prices may range from 50 to 1,000+ USD.

Argan Oil

Essauoira & Agadir

Used by the local Amazigh people for its healing properties, Argan Oil is immensly popular in Morocco. It is common to see women sitting on the front step of beauty shops crushing the kerns of the argan tree into paste, which is sold cosmetically for its healing properties to skin and hair. The regions surrounding Essauira and Agadir are the only places in the world where the specific tree grows. In this region you can purchase a quality 150ml bottle of the oil for approximately 20 USD.
