Excursion to Essaouira From Marrakech

About this activity

Escape the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and embark on a full-day excursion to the charming coastal town of Essaouira, known for its whitewashed walls, vibrant medina, and refreshing Atlantic breeze.

Your journey begins with a comfortable drive through the scenic Moroccan countryside, dotted with argan trees, where you’ll have the chance to stop and visit a women’s cooperative producing argan oil, one of Morocco’s most famous natural products.

Upon arrival in Essaouira, enjoy a self guided tour through the UNESCO-listed medina, where Portuguese, French, and Berber influences blend into a unique and colorful atmosphere. Wander through narrow alleys lined with art galleries, craft shops, and bustling souks. Discover the historic Skala de la Kasbah, the city’s old seafront ramparts offering panoramic views of the ocean.

Stroll along the lively fishing port, watch the traditional blue boats unload the day’s catch, and taste some of the freshest seafood Morocco has to offer at one of the local restaurants by the beach.

Whether you prefer relaxing on the golden sands, browsing local handicrafts, or soaking in the city’s artistic spirit, Essaouira offers a laid-back escape that combines culture, nature, and coastal charm.
