Day 1 - Marvel at the Mausoleum of Sidi Ali El Mekki
We’ll kick-start our magic carpet ride in Tétouan at the Mausoleum of Sidi Ali El Mekki. A peaceful haven nestled amidst the city’s hustle, it's the ultimate site to pay respect and reflect on the city's history. Don't forget your camera, as the stunning views of the city from here are something to behold. As the day progresses, we’ll move towards the city’s pristine beaches. You know how refreshing it feels to bask in the serenity of the beach after a busy day, right? Well, get ready for it because Tétouan's beaches are remarkable, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and tranquillity. Lastly, we’ll wrap up day one with a scrumptious meal in a cosy, local restaurant. Tétouan is heaven for foodies - ever tried a Tagine cooked with lemons and olives? It’s like a carnival in your mouth!
Day 2 - Stroll Through the Medina and Shop for Traditional Artifacts
Day two is all about immersing ourselves in local culture. And what better place than the Medina - Tétouan's nerve centre where the city's lifeblood flows strongest! We’ll explore the labyrinthine streets teeming with colourful markets. Just imagine, wandering about the markets with vibrant colours all around - is it not akin to walking in a painter’s dream? After immersing ourselves in the city’s vibrant atmosphere, we’ll break to savour the local delicacy, harira - a hearty tomato and lentil soup. In the afternoon, we will explore local artisan workshops and learn about the area's traditional crafts. Ever wanted to feel embedded in an artist's vision of creating beautiful artefacts? This is your chance!
Day 3 - Visit the Ethnographic Museum and Wrap It Up with a Spectacular View
Our last day will be dedicated to learning more about the region’s history at the Ethnographic Museum, which is a treasure trove of local artefacts and historical insights. Have you ever felt an instant transport to a different era just by looking at objects from the past? That’s the experience the museum aims to provide. However, all good things come to an end, and so will our time in Tétouan. But fret not, we won’t leave without enjoying a spectacular sunset treat. We’ll head to the Spanish fort, where we can bask in the warm hues of the setting sun over the cityscape, wrapping up our unforgettable journey through the magic of Tétouan. Sounds like a perfect ending, doesn't it?
