Walk Essaouira’s UNESCO Medina, Skala du Port, Mellah, markets, and the fish market with a local guide in about 3 hours.

“Zaid was just fantastic. We booked at the last minute and were so glad he was available. It was hard to find historic tours that didn’t leave from Marrakech and this was maybe the only option. We learned so much about the city’s fascinating history, and also were shown a couple of boutiques that were a higher quality than what you see in the medina.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 35 reviews · from $24

Sunset Agafay desert mini-adventure from Marrakech with camel ride, Saharian outfit, mint tea, tagine dinner, bonfire music, and return transport.

“We had a wonderful trip in to the desert for a sunset camel ride followed by tea and traditional Moroccan music by the campfire on our final night in Marrakesh. Our driver was great and very informative as we drove around 40 minutes in to the desert and the hosts were very attentive. It gets cold in the desert at night so make sure you take extra layers! Great trip, well worth it.”
