🏔️🌊 10-Days Morocco Atlantic Coast, Marrakech & High Atlas Adventure

Today you leave from El Jadida, you will reach El Oualidia, the pearl of the Atlantic Ocean, this town is a stunningly picturesque little resort – a fishing port and lagoon beach, flanked by a kasbah and a royal villa. The kasbah is seventeenth century, built by the Saadian Sultan El Oualid (after whom the village is named) as a counterweight and alternative to El Jadida, then held by the Portuguese. Until Sultan Sidi Mohammed took El Jadida, the extensive lagoon made an excellent harbour and, as late as 1875, a French geographer thought that “by a little dredging the place would again become the safest shipping station on the whole Moroccan seaboard”. The royal villa, which now stands empty, was built by Mohammed V, who celebrated many birthdays and other family events here. Your afternoon will be devoted to enjoy the beach; a sea food lunch is available to be served at the beach. Your day will end accommodations at the Hotel/raid.
