Itinerary

  • Essaouira Beach

    Leave Marrakech at 08:00, ready for a 2-hour journey to the beautiful Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast. Once you arrive at the port city, formerly, Our guide will take you to visit the Medina of Essaouira and see the traditional market streets that are often labyrinth-like and overwhelming with smells and colours. Selling traditional clothes, tapestries, pottery, and even food, these markets are a treasure trove for traditional souvenirs, and offer one of the most enchanting cultural experiences in Morocco. Explore the beautiful Essaouira including the production crew of Game of Thrones who used the majestic city as a backdrop in some episodes. Rich in history, which can be seen predominantly in its beautiful coastal ramparts, and full of culture, famous in particular for its music, Essaouria boasts a range of relaxing and enjoyable things to do and see. Then you will have free time to admire its fortifications, the fishing port and the labyrinthian old town, where you can bask in the atmosphere and the day to day life of its inhabitants. The town too boasts a seemingly unending beach and it is recommended to try the delicious freshly caught fish and seafood. The tour will then set off back to Marrakech, returning to the city in the late evening. And from this point onwards, you will never again ask why celebrities such as Orson Welles and Jimi Hendrix fell in love with Essaouira.

Amazing Tour!

Published on Aug, 2023

Abdula was a great guide! We loved the ride and tour. Assouira was beautiful. Loved the change of scenery and great weather! Thank you for an awesome time!

Marrakech is a fabulous experience

Published on Jul, 2023

Marrakech is a wonderful place to explore history culture and food, an absolute experience. Ourika Valley and Essaouira are worth a days visit. You get asked regularly for someone to take you to the square or invite you into their shop...just say 'no thank you' and they respect that. Be careful of petty crime to keep your valuables close, however being aware of this we had no problems.

Great day trip

Published on Jul, 2023

Driver was great and Essaouira was amazing. Stunning beach and brilliant market. We had a great day.

Absolutely a Must Do

Published on Jul, 2023

Great trip from Marrakech! Our driver was great and shared some local knowledge and pointed out interesting sites along the way (3 hours each way). When we arrived in Essaouira we met a local guide who took us around the city and showed us all the historical landmarks as well as gave us a guided run through of the Medina and made a great lunch suggestion. Essaouira is gorgeous and a very different feel from Marrakech. It was about 20 degrees cooler; the Medinas were less shadowy , had no hagglers, and had pretty painted doors; the view of the ocean is phenomenal, and the town is much quieter. On the way back I requested that we skip the Argan Oil demonstration because we’d seen it twice on other tours. I intended to ask about going by a local vineyard but I think the language barrier broke down because our driver took me to a grocery store for wine. Given this is a Muslim country I was not at all annoyed, rather appreciative and felt the driver was above and beyond. When we returned he dropped us as close to the riad as possible, asked if we knew our way back, and even pointed out we’d gotten a little too much sun on our arms. Fabulous trip!

Day trip to Essaouira

Published on Jun, 2023

Had a very lovely day spending the day at a different city and by the beach in the 40 degree weather that day! Really made the right choice to go on the hottest day of the week. The city is very different to Marrakech, it's a lot calmer, we enjoyed the walks through the Medina and the little restaurants they have on each alley. We ended up at Restaurant Amira which is known for their fresh octopus. And let me tell you it was just divine! We also sat in one of their famous beach cafes and had Moroccon tea and just relaxed before we ended up in the sea which was just perfect in that weather. Overall really worth the trip when you want to get away for a bit from the busyness of Marrakech
