From the moment we arrived at our destination, the coastal charm swept us off our feet. Wandering through the historic streets, we were captivated by the vibrant colors and the rich stories held within the old walls. One highlight was definitely the chance to stroll along the picturesque waterfront and savor the fresh seafood at a local café. While the pace felt a bit rushed during some parts of the tour, our guide’s enthusiasm kept us engaged. The experience truly allowed us to delve into the fascinating blend of history and culture, making it a memorable day overall.

We had an amazing time exploring the coastal charm and rich history during our day trip, especially while wandering through the vibrant medina. The only downside was that the lunch spot felt a bit touristy, but the rest of the experience more than made up for it.
