2. You will leave Marrakech at 8am and drive for about 170 km, passing vast landscapes dotted with sheep and goats grazing on argan trees (which only grow in the wild and on which the goats climb to eat berries) and the occasional small village. If you wish, it is possible to stop for an argan oil tasting where the argan oil is extracted by a small cooperative run completely by women. This oil is very famous for its uses in cooking and especially in cosmetics. A few kilometers further away, there is a panoramic view of Essaouira, a small blue and white town on the beautiful Atlantic Coast. Once you arrive in the port, you are free to discover its charm at your leisure. You can have a stroll along the quays which are full of life, where you can watch fishing boats coming back to the port, fishermen unloading their daily catch, and all the activities linked with the work of fishermen. You can feast on a cornucopia of freshly caught seafood options in a local restaurant overlooking the sea. The visit to the town is pleasant and the sights varied, from the ramparts to the Medina. In the Medina you will see a number of local artists and lots of craft shops, many of them exhibiting craft objects made of thuya wood. Marquetry remains the speciality of Essaouira (but be aware that the wood is rare and comes with sustainability issues). If you are interested, you can spend part of your day at the beach and return to Marrakech at 6pm or 7pm. as it is only a 2.5 hour drive.

About Marrakech

A los pies del Atlas, Marrakech, de murallas rojas, es famosa por su medina laberíntica, su animada plaza principal, sus riads y sus jardines.

Jemaa el-Fna, la gran plaza en el centro de la medina, cambia de carácter a lo largo del día: de vendedores de zumo y encantadores de serpientes por la mañana a puestos de comida envueltos en humo y músicos al caer la noche. El minarete de la mezquita Kutubía se alza cerca como emblema de la ciudad, y los zocos se extienden al norte en un laberinto de callejones donde se vende cuero, linternas, alfombras y especias.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
