Day Trip Essaouira

Your Day Trip Essaouira begins with a pickup from your hotel or hostel in Marrakech before 8:00 a.m. go on a scenic journey along the R207 route, offering stunning views of the Moroccan landscape as you head toward the coast.  

Along the way, you’ll make a stop to witness the unique sight of goats climbing argan trees, often with up to 20 goats perched on the branches. This incredible spectacle is a perfect photo opportunity you won’t want to miss.  

The next stop is a women’s cooperative specializing in the production of argan oil. Learn about the process of extracting this versatile oil, renowned for its culinary and cosmetic uses. You might even sample it with Moroccan bread or learn about its benefits for skin and hair.  

Upon arrival in Essaouira, the charming resort and port city, you’ll be greeted by the vast North Atlantic Ocean. Explore the UNESCO-listed medina, a vibrant old town surrounded by ramparts and adorned with brass cannons that once defended the city from invasions.  

Discover the harmonious blend of history and modernity as you wander between bustling cafés and historic buildings. Take a stroll along the promenade or unwind on the sandy beach, perfect for sunbathing or a refreshing swim. Don’t forget to bring swimwear, sunblock, and a towel to make the most of your beach time.  

As the Day Trip Essaouira draws to a close, your return journey to Marrakech will ensure you’re back by 6:00 p.m., allowing you to enjoy the serene beauty of the sunset along the way. Essaouira is a must-visit destination, offering a unique mix of culture, history, and relaxation—an unforgettable experience for every traveler.
