Your trip to Morocco in detail

Day 1

Casablanca - Azemmour (about 1h)*

Azemmour
Azemmour

Arrive at Casablanca airport, collect your vehicle and transfer to Azemmour. Azemmour is a very picturesque town. The ramparts and bastions of the medina are still in perfect condition, and the ancient town, perched on a cliff, dominates the estuary of the Oum er Rbia wadi. A long sandy beach, El Haouzia, awaits you to the north of the town.

Night in a Riad in the Azemmour medina.

Day 2

Azemmour - Oualidia (about 1h30)

Ouladidia beach
Ouladidia beach

You drive south along the coast. An obligatory stop in El Jadida, the former Mazagan, the city fortified by the Portuguese in the early 16th century. Its grandiose cisterns, sea-facing ramparts that invite you to take a stroll, impressive gates and highly original urban planning all remain. Even the modern town is attractive, with its beautiful ocean views, lively markets and strolling corniche. Don’t hesitate to take the coastal road, much more picturesque and less crowded. Stop for a swim before arriving in Oualidia, another of Morocco’s great seaside spots. Seafood tasting obligatory for seafood lovers.

Night in a waterfront guesthouse in Oualidia.

Day 3

Oualidia - Essaouira (about 3h30)

Safi
Safi

You continue to follow the coast. Beach follows beach. In Safi, a major industrial port, you can still admire Kelcha, the former stronghold built by the Portuguese. The coast becomes steeper. Stop at Kasbah Hamidouch, a citadel built by Moulay Ismaïl at the mouth of Oued Tenseft in the 17th century.
Arrival in Essaouira in the afternoon. Settle into your Riad in the heart of Essaouira’s medina. A private Riad with top-quality facilities, run by a Franco-Moroccan couple who will offer you a particularly warm welcome and good advice for your stay in Essaouira.

Night in the Riad in Essaouira.

Day 4

Essaouira

Essaouira beach
Essaouira beach

A day to discover Essaouira. The former Mogador is a magnificent and unique city. Here, the West meets the East like nowhere else in Morocco. The city, nestled within its pink ramparts, faces the ocean. It has become a charming place to stay, offering travellers a true art of living: lively streets, terraced restaurants, the beach, strolls along the ramparts… You won’t have long to spend touring the ramparts and arcaded streets. Visit the souk, the port and sit down to a fish dinner on a restaurant terrace.

Night in the Riad in Essaouira.

Day 5

Essaouira - Casablanca (about 5h)

Hassani mosque in Casablanca

Our tips for this self-drive tour in Morocco

– After registering, we’ll give you a list of our “good tips”: cafés, restaurants…
– If you’re on a budget, we can offer you nights in a lower range of accommodation.
– Between Casablanca and El Jadida, take the coastal road, which is much more picturesque and less crowded.
– Ideal time of year: June for seabird watching. But this itinerary can be enjoyed all year round, with each season offering a different angle of approach.
– If you’re reluctant to drive in Morocco, don’t hesitate to hire a driver. It will cost you a little more for the peace of mind and advice.- If you like oysters, in Oualidia, go to oyster park no. 3. Ask the owner to open a few for you, which you can enjoy on the spot with the bottle of “Gris” you’ve brought along…

Your vehicle :

5-day rental of a category A Hyundai Atos type car. But we can also offer you a higher range.
VAT included, unlimited mileage, comprehensive insurance, pick-up and drop-off at your hotel.
The entire route is on very good tarmac roads. So there’s no need to hire a 4X4, unless you want to have a little fun on the tracks that often run along the coast…
