Beautiful day in Essaouira!

We had a lovely day visiting Essaouira, seeing the boats at the port, strolling through and shopping in the Medina and finishing with a delicious lunch viewing the beach. Worth the trip.

Wonderful day trip

Seamless trip from my riad (Karim efficiently picked me up from the closest accessible road to my riad in the medina) to Essaouira. There were two stops at a cafe and at an argan oil collective. Had 4 hours then to explore Essaouira, which is a beautiful coastal city. So far my favorite part of my vacation.

Beautiful city to visit

The 3-hour drive from Marrakech was absolutely worth it! The city is beautiful and vibrant, with stunning blue and white colors. We visited the fish market, where you can buy fresh fish and have it cooked on-site, though we opted for a local restaurant instead, and the food was delicious. The souk is much less crowded than in Marrakech, making for a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. Plus, we even made new friends along the way!

Operator response

Thank you for your lovely review. We’re delighted that the journey from Marrakech was worthwhile and that you enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere, fresh seafood, and the relaxed charm of the souk. It’s wonderful to hear you even made new friends along the way. We truly appreciate your feedback.

Very good

Nice town with lots of small shops. We were spontaneous surfing in the sea. The relatively long journey was definitely worth it.

Day in Essaouira

Fantastic experience and to do alone or in company, great value for money. Essaouira is a small port city worth visiting for a getaway away from the chaos of Marrakech. In addition, the stop to learn about the tradition of Argan oil manufacturing was very interesting. Our guide, Saeed, was nothing short of perfect in guiding us and providing us with information and curiosities along the way. Highly recommend, experience to do if you come to Marrakech!

Operator response

Grazie mille per la tua recensione! Siamo felici che tu abbia avuto un'esperienza fantastica a Essaouira e che tu abbia apprezzato la visita all'oleificio di Argan, un'importante parte della cultura locale. È bello sapere che Saeed ha reso il tuo viaggio ancora più interessante e piacevole con le sue informazioni e curiosità. 😊 Essendo Essaouira una piccola perla lontana dal caos di Marrakech, è davvero una meta ideale per una giornata di relax. Speriamo di poterti accompagnare in altre avventure in futuro! 🌟🌍
