Full Day Excursion from Marrakech to Essouira
Description
Meet your driver at your hotel in Marrakech, or at a central location, for the trip to Essaouira, a laid-back city that's cooled by sea breezes. On your way to Essaouira, make a stop at an Argan oil cooperative, learning how the golden oil is produced using traditional techniques. Upon arrival in Essaouira, set out on a short guided walking tour to get your bearings in the UNESCO-listed historic center, which is ringed by fortifications with great views of the ocean. Then enjoy free time to see and do what you want. You can sip mint tea in the Moulay el Hassan square, browse for souvenirs at the bazaars, or try freshly caught, local seafood at an open-air restaurant. Rejoin the driver and group after an afternoon of exploration and begin the return trip to Marrakech, where the day concludes with drop-off at your original departure point.

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. Old brass cannons line the walls, and there are ocean views. Strong "Alizée" trade winds make the city's crescent beach popular for surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing
Chichaoua is an agricultural city in Morocco, with approximately 20,000 inhabitants. The Moroccan countryside between Marrakech and Essaouira.

There is no guided tour, no air conditioning on the bus, and the trip takes 3 hours each way.
Nous demandons au client de lire le programme avant tout, car le programme comprend 3 heures et la visite d’Essaouira dure environ 4 heures. Nous demandons également le respect envers les personnes et les touristes, car certains touristes se sont aussi plaints de votre comportement. Merci pour votre compréhension.

Essaouira was definitely worth it, it’s beautiful! Heads up the road is bumpy and the argan co-op is WAY overpriced!! Shout out to the driver! He was so kind and understanding, an absolute gem!

Said and Mohammed were great. They got us to Essaouira safely. Said gave some great facts about the argan trees we saw on the way and the spots at the port, where Game of Thrones was filmed. He was very thorough in explaining what the itinerary was for our drive there (we made 2 stops, 1 in Chichaoua and then at an Argan Oil cooperative). He also gave us some great recommendations for places to eat in the Medina or near the port and the top sights worth seeing. We had 4 hours to explore, shop, eat, whatever we wanted. The pick up time and location was clear and we had no delays getting everyone back in the van to leave. Would definitely recommend this experience as you can do what interests you and move at your own pace.
thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it and look forward to seeing you again my friend.
