Day Trips from Marrakech
Escape the city for a day: waterfalls in the Atlas foothills, the kasbahs of Aït Ben Haddou or the Atlantic breeze of Essaouira.
One day from Marrakech
Big Landscapes, Back by Evening.
You do not need several days to see more of Morocco. From Marrakech, a private day trip takes you to waterfalls, mountain passes, kasbahs or the coast, and brings you back to your riad in the evening.
Each trip includes pickup and drop-off at your hotel or riad, a private air-conditioned vehicle and a professional driver, with time to explore at your own pace.
