Day trip from Marrakech to El Jadida, Oualidia

You will be picked up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech around 9:00 am and taken to El Jadida. Enjoy an interesting port town along the coast for a private day trip. El Jadida is an ancient Portuguese city on the Atlantic and is considered the best coastal refuge for the Portuguese who left in 1769. The Portuguese city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fortress, with its bastions and ramparts, is an early example of Renaissance military design. Surviving Portuguese buildings include the Cistern and the Church of the Assumption, built in the Manueline style of late Gothic architecture. Soak up the atmosphere of this laid-back coastal town and explore the impressive Portuguese defense structures and cisterns before finally returning to Marrakech.
