Day Trips from Marrakech
Our day trips from Marrakech leave in the morning from your riad or hotel and bring you back the same evening. Head into the High Atlas to the Ourika Valley or Imlil at the foot of Toubkal, see the Ouzoud Waterfalls, breathe the Atlantic air in Essaouira, cross the Tizi n’Tichka pass to Aït Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate, or spend a sunset in the Agafay Desert.
Each trip lists the driving time, what is included and the price from per person, so you can compare at a glance. For a first day in the city itself, the guided medina tour is the best start. Looking for more time? See our multi-day tours.
