Day 01
Essaouira Day Trip and Atlantic Coast Discovery
- Get picked up by your driver at 8:00 am and begin your Essaouira day trip from Marrakech, enjoying the natural countryside along the way.
- Have the opportunity to visit an Argan Cooperative on the route, as the region is known for Argan Oil.
- See how the women in the cooperative work hard and with enthusiasm to extract oil from the Argan nuts for cosmetics and delicious food oil. You will discover a process that requires time and effort from the women involved.
- Once you arrive in Essaouira, you will have the full day to explore the medina, surrounded by medieval walls, with a castle standing at its southern edge. Its white-washed and blue-shuttered houses give it a gorgeous look.
- Take a stroll through its amusing narrow streets, explore the ancient French and Portuguese architecture, enjoy the beach, and visit the harbour.
- Enjoy a delicious lunch in one of the restaurants at the fishing port.
- If you wish, you can take a local Essaouira guide for a city tour, but it is recommended to explore on your own, as this is the best way to visit this small and quiet town.
- Return to Marrakech in the evening at around 6:00 pm.
