Itinerary
One of our drivers will pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech for the drive of approximately 3 hours to the charming coastal town of Essaouira, formerly known as Mogador. Essaouira is rated by UNESCO, as the most beautiful city in Morocco. After arriving in Essaouira you will be met by our local knowledgeable guide for a wonderful tour of the town. You will visit the Skala fortress, see the magnificent canons and watch falcons, and gulls hover above the nature reserve on the Purpuraires Islands. To the north of the Skala you may see surfers, windsurfers and kite surfers all taming the waves. Be sure to ask your guide to show you the many places in Essaouira immortalized in film. Your guide will take you to the fishing port with its bustling fish market and through the medina where you will learn more of the town’s fascinating history and see many artisans at work including the Thuya (a local wood) carvers.
The fishing port in Essaouira is one of the city's most vibrant and picturesque areas. Known locally as "Port d'Essaouira," it’s a bustling hub where you can see traditional wooden fishing boats, known as "blue boats" due to their distinctive color, docked and being unloaded. The port is an integral part of the local economy and culture, and it's fascinating to watch the daily activities, from fishermen bringing in their catch to the busy fish market. The area around the port is lined with seafood restaurants that serve freshly caught fish and shellfish. It’s a great place to sample local specialties such as grilled sardines or seafood tagine while enjoying views of the ocean and the historic ramparts of Essaouira. in the afternoon we get to head the road back to marrakech .

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).
