Itinerary

  1. Find the driver at your hotel in Marrakech or in a central location for the trip of 3 hours to Essaouira, a quiet city refreshed by the sea breeze. On the way to Essaouira, stop in an argan oil cooperative, and learn how gold oil is produced using traditional techniques. When you arrive in Essaouira, go your own way to explore the compact historic center, surrounded by ramparts with stunning views of the ocean. You will have the freedom to see and do what you want. You can enjoy a mint tea in Moulay El Hassan Square, look for souvenirs in the souks or sample freshly caught local seafood at an open-air restaurant. Join the driver and the group after an afternoon of exploration and start your journey back to Marrakech, where the day will end with a transfer to your starting point.

About Marrakech

At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.

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