MARRAKECH TO ESSAOUIRA DAY TRIP
The day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech includes a drive of about 2 hours and 40 minutes to this charming coastal town. There are plenty of sights and activities along the way. Only one person is required per tour, and departures are guaranteed daily.
Your day begins with a pick-up from your hotel or hostel in Marrakech before 8:00 a.m., followed by a scenic drive along the R207 route towards the coast.
We'll also visit a women's cooperative where argan oil is produced. This oil, extracted from the tree's kernels, is a staple in Moroccan cuisine, often drizzled over bread or used in cooking. Additionally, it's renowned for its beauty benefits, being used in skin and hair care products.
Upon arrival in Essaouira, you'll explore the resort city and port, with stunning views of the North Atlantic Ocean. The old town (medina), a UNESCO World Heritage site, boasts ancient brass cannons and protective ramparts that once guarded the coastline against invasions.
In Essaouira, you'll find a blend of modern cafes and restaurants alongside the city's rich history. A visit to the bustling medina will take you through time, with modern cafes contrasting with the traditional charm of ancient houses.
The city’s long promenade invites you to take a leisurely walk along the beach, where golden sands welcome bathers and sun-seekers. Don't forget to bring swimwear, sunscreen, and a towel for your time on the beach.
We’ll depart Essaouira in the afternoon to return to Marrakech, arriving by 6:00 p.m. Enjoy the picturesque sunset along the way, making this a truly memorable day trip. Essaouira is a must-visit destination, and this tour will show you why it’s so beloved by visitors to Morocco.
