ITINERARY
Day 1: Marrakech
Arrive at Marrakech International Airport and transfer to the hotel.
Day 2: Marrakech
Explore the city of Marrakech and visit sites such as Jemaa el-Fna Square in the heart of Marrakech. Discover the famous red city, visit the immense souk (market), and plunge into the excitement of the place Jemaa el Fna in the heart of Morocco. Be enchanted by the dancers, snake-charmers, jugglers, narrators, singers. Cool off with an orange juice in front of the numerous workshops.
Day 3: Marrakech - Essouaria
Travel 100KM to Essaouira. This day is dedicated to relaxation on the beach of the coastal city of Essaouira. The fortifications of the old town shelter Portuguese, French and Berber architecture. With its whitewashed houses, quiet places, friendly cafes, numerous artisans and the delicious fresh fish, Essaouira is a charming place to visit.
Day 4: Agadir
Travel 190KM to Agadir. The city's prime attraction is its 10km of broad sandy beach and an average of 300 days of sunshine a year. In summer Agadir, which is cooler than the interior of the country, is prone to morning sea fogs, while the winter climate is often sunny and clear with temperature in the mid-20s C. The beach is huge and impeccably clean. Lining its promenade are hotels, beach clubs, bars, cafes and restaurants. At the center of the bay is a ridge of rocks, exposed at low tide, which shelters much of the beach from Atlantic breakers and makes for safe swimming most of the time (flags provide warnings of dangerous conditions). Beach activities on offer include paragliding around the bay, towed behind a speedboat.
Day 5: Sidi Ifni
Visit the former Spanish enclave of Sidi Ifni which is a quaint and comfortable drive south of Agadir over country roads and along the coast. This delightful little city has a Spanish flavor due to it architecture and is a refreshing get-away from the hustle and bustle of busy Agadir, especially in the summer.
Day 6: Taroudannt
Travel to Taroudannt. This little city is affectionately called "The Little Marrakech." It is a small city of only about 50,000 people and it has lost none of its medieval charm in the 21st century. With its high fortress city walls and its lively souk (market) it will be one of the highlights of your trip to southern Morocco.
Day 7: Return to Marrakech
Return to Marrakech via the Tizi-n-Test pass through the Atlas Mountains where you will the life of rural Morocco. Spend the afternoon further exploring the "Red City" of Marrakech with its gardens, such as Jardin Majorelle or its many historical places such as the Koutoubia Mosque or the Royal Saadian Tombs.

Note: Breakfast and dinner are included in the in the cost of this package. However, if the clients wish they are not obligated to have dinner or breakfast "when or where" Berber Tours says that they must.

Additional entrance fees: Not able to quote, depends on where you go. However, the "average price" is $2.50 to $6.00 USD PER PERSON.
Additional Guide Services: Cost depends on what is required. For example, a guide in Marrakech averages approximately $40.00 USD - $50.00 USD per day for a 7 hour day. Due to restrictions by the Moroccan Government, ONLY those guides who live and work in the city visited are allowed to guide any clients and they set their own rates. This is the reason why Berber Tours does not include guide services in the cost of a 4x4 tour. However, if given prior notice, Berber Tours will arrange for a guide but it is the responsibility of the client to pay for the guide services themselves.
Lunches unless provided by Berber Tours: $7.00 to $13.00 USD PER PERSON. This is considered a "free time" for the clients to explore the towns and villages that we visit.

Hotels in Morocco:
Berber Tours uses a variety of different 3-star and 4-star hotels around the country for our 4x4 tours. While we cannot guarantee a specific hotel, we can guarantee that ALL of the hotels we use are clean and comfortable and will have many of the amenities you would expect to find in any hotel. The hotels we use also offer either breakfast or dinner, but usually both, as part of the hotel stay. Where available, as in Marrakech, we can also offer at the 4-star hotel package rate, the option of staying at one of the many quaint and comfortable riads within the Medina. However, at a riad, usually only breakfast is offered as part of the cost for staying there.
Hotel standards in Morocco and Europe DIFFER from those in the United States; in most cases, a "3-star" hotel by U.S. standards is the same as a "4-star" hotel in Morocco and Europe.
