Description

Escape the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and enjoy a relaxing day exploring the enchanting coastal city of Essaouira, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed destination known for its charming medina, whitewashed walls, and laid-back atmosphere. Your day begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. As you travel through the scenic Moroccan countryside, take in views of the Haouz plains and the Argan tree forests unique to this region. You’ll make a stop along the way to visit a women’s cooperative, where local Berber women produce the world-famous Argan oil using traditional methods. Learn about its many uses in cooking and cosmetics before continuing your journey. Upon arrival in Essaouira, enjoy free time to wander at your own pace, savor fresh seafood at a local restaurant, or stroll along the golden sandy beach that stretches for miles. Discover the Skala de la Kasbah, the old Portuguese fortifications offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, and visit the lively fishing port, where colorful boats and seagulls fill the scene with energy and charm. At the end of the afternoon, relax on your drive back to Marrakech, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel — your mind refreshed and your camera full of beautiful memories from the Moroccan coast.
