Along the Shore
Six days with the sea.
A slow coastal arc from Casablanca down to Marrakech, with the Atlantic always on the right — a Portuguese cistern in El Jadida, oysters fresh from the Oualidia lagoon, the blue-and-white ramparts of Essaouira and long afternoons on the empty beaches of Sidi Kaouki.
For travellers who want salt in the air, seafood at lunch, and none of the grand palace bustle. The souks wait for another trip.
