About this tour

Leave the hustle and bustle of the souks of Marrakech behind and enjoy a fully private day trip to the athletic ocean. In addition, explore an ancient city in stunning landscapes. Visit the artisans that harvest Argan oil and Moroccan rugs, and discover Essaouira’s most vivid sights. Walk along with the bristling cannons of the harbour-side Skala and figure out the town’s souks. So do not hesitate to book with our door-to-door air-conditioned vehicles and let us make up your day.

Meet your driver at your hotel /Riad in Marrakech at 08:00 AM or at a certain specified meeting point. Then enjoy your 2:30 min driving across the stunning landscapes to the coast.

Along the way, you will have a stop to see a tribe of goats climbing the Argan trees for feed, where you will have a chance to take pictures with this fascinating sight.
Also along the way, we will stop at Berber women’s cooperative where Argan oil is produced.

Upon arrival in Essaouira, set out on your own to explore the vast expanse of the North Atlantic Ocean. The vibrant old town (Medina) is a world heritage site, and it will not take you much to realize just why; old brass cannons line the walls, ramparts protect the seafront from ancient invasion, and Ben Youssef mosque, etc. You will have the freedom to see and do all that you want; you can sip mint tea in the Moulay Elhassan square, buy souvenirs at the bazaars and try fresh local seafood at an open air-restaurant.

In addition, Essaouira city is suitable for those who wish to relax in the sun on the golden sands of this charming city, to this end you should bring swimwear, sunblock, and a towel along with you for your time on the beach.
