Full Day Trip To Essaouira city From Marrakech

Essaouira is a port city and resort on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Its medina (old town) is protected by 18th-century seafront ramparts called the Skala de la Kasbah, which were designed by European engineers.

Visit the women cooperative on the way down to Essaouira producing and selling the popular Argan oil, an industry that hopes to empower women and local producers in the country.

Enjoy the seaside landscape and fresh fish markets or enter into the old town for a look at fascinating and bustling souks selling a wide range of goods.

Explore the medina and fishing port, the ancient city walls and ramparts and the Mellah - the Jewish quarter.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Essaouira, Essaouira, Marrakech-Safi

Remember to bring a towel, sun protection and swimming attire if you wish to go swimming later in the day. Please be in the lobby at 8:00am. The driver should be there ready for you. You are to be taken via a 3-hour drive to the coastal town of Essaouira. En route, however, you are to make two stops. The first stop is at a café. There you can purchase refreshments as well as use the bathroom. The second stop is at a small factory where you can see the production of a local plant oil called argan. It is great for the skin and hair. Going from the café to the small factory, hopefully at some point you will see goats standing on the top of trees. They are often, but not always, there.
