Itinéraire

1. Your day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech will begin with a drive along the Haouz plains. Upon approaching Essaouira, you will cross the Argan trees forest, where you will spot some goats climbing the trees. Stop and take some photos before you carry on to Essaouira. To watch how the Argan oil (also called the liquid gold, or Moroccan oil) is extracted, you will visit a local ladies’ cooperative to learn how some fine cosmetic products are locally made out of the rich Argan oil.

3. Upon arrival, you will explore the beautiful city at leisure. Out of experience, Exploring Essaouira is easy on your own: Locals are very friendly, the Medina is pretty small (compared to other old towns in Morocco), and its streets are in order. You definitely do not need a guide for the tour of the city. You can easily explore the Medina on your own as its streets are aligned opposite to each other unlike every other maze-like Medina in Morocco. Should you insist on one, your driver will help you hire a local guide. The town too boasts a seemingly unending beach and it is recommended to try the delicious freshly caught fish and seafood. Late in the afternoon, drive back to Marrakech, and your full day tour to Essaouira will end with a drop off at your hotel or the nearest car accessible point to your riad.

About Marrakech

Au pied de l'Atlas, Marrakech aux remparts rouges est célèbre pour sa médina labyrinthique, sa place animée, ses riads paisibles et ses jardins.

Jemaa el-Fna, la grande place au centre de la médina, change de caractère au fil de la journée : marchands de jus et charmeurs de serpents le matin, étals fumants et musiciens après la tombée de la nuit. Le minaret de la mosquée de la Koutoubia s'élève à proximité comme emblème de la ville, et les souks s'étendent au nord dans un lacis de ruelles où l'on vend cuir, lanternes, tapis et épices.

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