A day trip to El Jadida from Marrakech offers a compelling blend of history, culture, and relaxation.
Your adventure begins with a morning departure from your hotel, setting course for the coastal town of El Jadida. Situated roughly 90 km from Casablanca, El Jadida, or Mazagan as it's known in Berber, is an ancient Portuguese city dating back to the 16th century. The first port of call is the awe-inspiring Manueline Cistern, a remarkable edifice nestled within the fortress of El Jadida. Crafted by Portuguese architect Joao Castilho, this cistern boasts towering arches, columns, and pillars that shape a truly impressive interior. This historic gem even had a cameo in Orson Welles' renowned film "Othello."
Next, you'll delve into the heart of El Jadida, exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Portuguese fortified city. Walk through the delightful old medina, pay a visit to the restored consulate, the exquisite church, and the Jewish mausoleum, all while soaking up the city's heritage. Another standout feature of the tour is the Palais Andalous. This hotel showcases some of the finest examples of traditional Moroccan architecture.
Throughout the tour, you'll also have ample opportunity to savour El Jadida's beautiful beaches.
