Your day trip to El Jadida from Marrakech promises an enticing mix of history, culture, and leisure.
The adventure kicks off with a morning departure from your accommodation, heading towards the coastal town of El Jadida. Located approximately 90 km from Casablanca, El Jadida, or Mazagan in Berber, is an ancient Portuguese city with roots dating back to the 16th century. The initial stop is the awe-inspiring Manueline Cistern, a remarkable structure tucked within El Jadida's fortress. Designed by Portuguese architect Joao Castilho, this cistern features towering arches, columns, and pillars that create an impressive interior. This historical treasure even made an appearance in Orson Welles' acclaimed film "Othello."
Following this, you'll delve into the heart of El Jadida, exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Portuguese fortified city. Stroll through the charming old Medina, visit the restored consulate, the elegant church, and the Jewish mausoleum, all while immersing yourself in the city's heritage. Another highlight of the tour is the Palais Andalous. This hotel displays some of the finest examples of traditional Moroccan architecture.
Throughout the journey, you'll also have plenty of chances to appreciate El Jadida's beautiful beaches.
