Full Day Trip To Essaouira city - Departure From Marrakech
Description
Essaouira is a port city and resort on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Its medina (old town) is protected by 18th-century seafront ramparts called the Skala de la Kasbah, which were designed by European engineers. Visit the women cooperative on the way down to Essaouira producing and selling the popular Argan oil, an industry that hopes to empower women and local producers in the country. Enjoy the seaside landscape and fresh fish markets or enter into the old town for a look at fascinating and bustling souks selling a wide range of goods. Explore the medina and fishing port, the ancient city walls and ramparts and the Mellah - the Jewish quarter.

Itinerary
Remember to bring a towel, sun protection and swimming attire if you wish to go swimming later in the day. Please be in the lobby at 8:00am. The driver should be there ready for you. You are to be taken via a 3-hour drive to the coastal town of Essaouira. En route, however, you are to make two stops. The first stop is at a café. There you can purchase refreshments as well as use the bathroom. The second stop is at a small factory where you can see the production of a local plant oil called argan. It is great for the skin and hair. Going from the café to the small factory, hopefully at some point you will see goats standing on the top of trees. They are often, but not always, there.
Upon arrival, you'll get to see the ancient medina full of craftsmen at leisure, walk along the beach, and each fresh fish at the port. Below are the names of the attractions we recommend you to explore: 1. Porte de la Marine (a.k.a. Marine Docks) 2. Sqala de la Ville Bastion (a.k.a. Sqala de la Kasbah) 3. Rue Dar Laalouj: a road dotted with shops 4. Souk Jdid Market 5. Rue Mohammed Zerktouni: the main street featuring a lively market 6. The City Ramparts 7. Essaouira Beach: On the far side of the beach, look out for the ruins of defense walls. 8. Sqala du Port Bastion
We recommend you purchase lunch around 1.00pm, in a restaurant of your choice. (please note that lunch is not included on today's tour). If you wish to go swimming, we recommend you do so at 2:30pm. Afterward, you should be back to the main parking area at 3:30pm. Your minibus heading back to Marrakesh is scheduled to leave at 4:00pm. You should be dropped off at the main square in Marrakesh or at your hotel around 7:00pm.

This was an incredible day trip! We'd definitely recommend spending the day in Essaouira - it was beautiful and walkable city. Also, we appreciated that the company was flexible to work with us when we had to reschedule the day we booked because of changes in our travel.
The day in Essaouira was really impressive. It’s a lively little town full of cats and seagulls, I think they eat well as there is a seafood market and I love oysters. There is also the beach for sunbathing and swimming. The old city walls give you the impression of being in the past. The city deserves discovery. Thanks to Hossin who organized this trip well for me. The minibus came to my house to pick me up at the beginning and drop me off at the end of the day.
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour enthousiaste concernant votre journée à Essaouira. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la vitalité de cette charmante ville, ses marchés animés et sa plage accueillante.
