Essaouira day trip from Marrakech
Day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech, with a visit to an argan cooperative and the seaside medina. Discover the pearl of the Atlantic in one day.
About this day trip
The day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech is a perfect getaway to discover Morocco’s Atlantic coast in a single day, combining nature, history and food in a relaxed, authentic atmosphere.
Your driver picks you up at 8:00 am at the agreed place. On the way you cross unique rural landscapes of open fields and argan trees, and visit a women’s argan cooperative to see how the precious oil, used in cosmetics and cooking, is extracted by hand: a traditional process that takes patience, skill and effort.
In Essaouira you have free time to explore this charming coastal town at your own pace. Its medina, a World Heritage Site, is surrounded by medieval walls and historic fortifications; its white houses with blue shutters recall Portuguese and French influences.
Stroll through the lively alleys, visit the traditional fishing port and watch the boats come in with fresh fish. We recommend lunch at one of the port restaurants (not included) to enjoy fresh seafood facing the ocean.
If you wish, you can hire a local guide to learn more about the city’s history, but Essaouira is also easy to explore on your own thanks to its relaxed atmosphere. Return to Marrakech at around 6:00 pm.
