Itinerary

Leave Marrakech behind on a private day trip to Essaouira, where you’ll travel through the stunning Moroccan landscape. Along the way, you’ll pass small villages and see goats, camels, and sheep grazing in the fields. As you get closer to Essaouira, you’ll see the famous Argan trees, known for producing berries that goats love to eat.

You can stop at a local Argan oil cooperative run by women, where you’ll have the chance to taste and learn about this unique oil, which is used in both cooking and cosmetics.

As you approach Essaouira, enjoy a beautiful view of the town’s blue and white buildings. Once you arrive, take time to explore the town at your own pace.

Walk along the quays, watch fishermen unloading their daily catch, and enjoy fresh fish at one of the seafood restaurants in the port. Essaouira also offers historic ramparts that tell the story of this once fortified seaport, and the medina, where local artists sell handcrafted thuya wood products.

End your day with a relaxing stroll along the beach, taking in the peaceful coastal views before returning to Marrakech.
