Itinerary
Day 1
Welcome to our Morocco surf and cultural vacation! Prepare yourself for one of the most fascinating, colorful and culture-rich countries on the planet. Also prepare for some of the world's best surfing! We will pick you up at Marrakech airport and drive you to a traditional Moroccan riad (guesthouse) in the medina where you'll spend your first night.
Tonight you'll thrill in the bewitchery of the night that beats in the heart of the famed square, Djemaa el-Fna. Snake charmers, hustlers and mischievous monkeys are part of the nightly drama that unfolds, as Berber acrobats, fortune tellers, musicians, and engaging storytellers seduce rapt crowds. You'll also enjoy a delicious dinner on the square before retiring to our charming riad.
Meals: On own
Day 2
Wake up in the vibrant city of Marrakech, an enchanting palm oasis set against the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas mountains. We'll visit the ancient Bahia Palace and the royal Saadian Tombs, explore the vibrant and historic Jewish mellah, and see the majestic Koutoubia Mosque before heading into the 9th-century walled medina, where we'll wander the ancient souk, or market.

Thanks to its long, smooth, and crowd-free breaks, Morocco is an ideal place to learn to surf.

Today we will head out to the beach with the best conditions-offering some challenges to try out your new skills. Surf beaches in this region are known for their long, smooth beach break; perfect for beginner/intermediates, and a quality point break for more advanced surfers. After a day of surfing, we'll return to the hotel to freshen up and then head into Agadir to visit the local souk and the Kasbah overlooking the city.

Day 5
Today we'll be out on the water again, working on improving our surf skills. Today is our last day of surfing and you'll be amazed at how much your surfing has improved! If you were a beginner at the start of the session, by now you are almost certainly enjoying the thrill of catching and riding waves. If you began as an intermediate or advanced surfer, you'll have had the chance to fine-tune your technique and enjoy excellent quality, 'locals-only' breaks. Dinner at the hotel. Another perfect day!
