What to expect

Your day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech will begin with a scenic drive through the Haouz plains. Upon reaching the village of Chichaoua, halfway through, you'll stop for a delightful cup of coffee. Continuing on, you'll pass through the argan forest and make a stop at a local women's cooperative to discover the production of cosmetic products from argan oil.

Upon arrival in Essaouira, you'll have the freedom to explore this beautiful city at your own pace. With its welcoming locals and well-organized streets, navigating the medina is effortless. Start your exploration at the fishing port, where ancient Portuguese fortifications and medieval war cannons overlook the Atlantic Ocean. Stroll along the well-maintained 18th-century medina walls, and delve into the historic districts of Bab Laalouj and the Mellah, the former Jewish quarter.

Browse through various art shops, souvenir galleries, and thuya woodcraft stores lining the streets. Enjoy a delicious seafood lunch at one of the local cafes before visiting the kasbah, renowned for its role as a military stronghold. If you love the beach, take a leisurely stroll along the sandy shores and even engage in a friendly game.
