Atlantic & Agafay — Casablanca to Essaouira, Privately

You land in Casablanca and your driver is already at the arrivals hall. By the time the city is behind you, the first table of the journey is booked in your name, and nothing else needs deciding today.

This journey runs the arc between the Atlantic and the desert at the door of Marrakech: Casablanca on arrival, Marrakech at the centre, a night in the Agafay stone desert, then the ocean wind at Essaouira. It is composed for couples — including guests flying in from West Africa — who want the coast and the desert without long roads, and every table, transfer and house confirmed before they arrive. The reference journey ran ten nights in late August.

It suits couples travelling in style who prefer one contact to a dozen bookings, and who would rather have a day composed around them than a schedule to keep.

The arc, briefly. Casablanca: arrival, the ocean-side mosque, a first dinner. Marrakech: a riad in the medina, the souks with someone who knows them, tables booked in your name, afternoons left open. The Agafay: a stone desert an hour from the city, a private dinner as the light goes, a night under a very large sky. Essaouira: whitewashed ramparts, the fishing port, grilled fish, an afternoon to do nothing in particular. Return to Casablanca or Marrakech for your flight.

How it works

Send a brief with your dates and how you travel. You receive a day-by-day quote with real prices, house by house, before paying anything. A fixed deposit of $1,000 then opens the bookings and is credited in full against your final invoice. If the budget is too low for the level you want, we say so early.
