ESSAOUIRA DAY TRIP FROM MARRAKECH

After having breakfast in your hotel/Riad in Marrakech, your private driver will pick you up from your accommodation at 08:00 am for a rewarding Essaouira day trip from Marrakech. This day trip to Essaouira offers a great chance to escape the hassle and bustle of the Marrakech Medina while spending the day out unveiling the mystery of this unique coastal city.

You will drive through the town of Chichaoua before surprisingly getting into the Argan fields. The Argan tree is indigenous to Morocco and has gained a worldwide reputation because of its benefits to the skin and health in general. You may want to include a visit to a local women cooperative where you can learn about the process of turning Argan seeds into oil and other products including cosmetics, soaps, lotions and much more.

Once you arrive in Essaouira, you will spend the time meandering around the fortified Medina of Essaouira exploring its highlights including the traditional harbour, the bastions, the fish market, the Mellah (Jewish Quarter) and much more. After lunch, you may want to stretch your legs by the sandy beach of Essaouira that has been attraction to surfers and kite-surfers.

In the late afternoon, we will drive back to Marrakech, which we will reach at around 6pm.
