Private Day Trip to Essaouira

Because of its size and its characteristic blue doors and white-washed walls, Essaouira is known regarded as Morocco’s ‘Jewel of the Atlantic.’

After breakfast in your Marrakech hotel, we will head for the coastal city of Essaouira. On arrival, we will walk through the alleys of the medina and view hundreds of handicrafts. ‘The Windy City’ attracts surfers from all over the world. Essaouira knew many civilisations – including the Portuguese occupation, which affects much of its architecture – however, it remains a small village with much history.

You will visit the women’s co-operative of argan oil. Here they extract the oil that is famous for its culinary, cosmetic, and medicinal properties. Lunch will be in the medina or in the port. You have the option to go with your guide to the fish market where you select your own fish and seafood and then have it grilled and served on the spot!

Option to add horseback riding on the beach or quad biking in the dunes in the afternoon.

In the late afternoon you will travel back to Marrakech.
