Essaouira Day Trip: Essaouira, a serene city kissed by the sea breeze. On the way, we visit an Argan oil cooperative to discover how this “liquid gold” is made using traditional methods. Next, stroll to the fishing port of Essaouira, famous for its iconic blue boats. Then explore the art galleries scattered throughout the Essaouira Medina. Wander along the ramparts, adorned with cannons overlooking the sea. Enjoy a seafood lunch at the harbor stalls or a local restaurant before heading back to Marrakech.
Essaouira Day Trip begins with pickup from your Marrakech hotel at 08:30 am, heading towards Essaouira. The journey takes you through the Haouz plains to Chichaoua village for a coffee break before continuing to Sidi Mokhtar. Along the way, you’ll pass through the Argan tree forest, where you might spot goats climbing the trees—perfect for photos before arriving in Essaouira.
Upon arrival, we first explore the harbor, featuring the fishing port and historic Portuguese fortifications. You’ll see medieval cannons lined up overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Next, visit the Medina, known for its well-preserved 18th-century fortifications. Key sights include La Scala, designed to defend against sea attacks. We then proceed to Bab Laalouj, one of Essaouira’s main gates, and the Mellah, the old Jewish quarter.
The Medina is lined with art shops, galleries, souvenir stores, and thuya wood crafts. Enjoy a seafood lunch at a local café, then visit a Kasbah known for its historical military significance. For beach enthusiasts, take a walk along Mogador’s sandy beach, sunbathe, or watch kite surfers and windsurfers. Return to Marrakech in the late afternoon.
