Essaouira Full Day Trip from Marrakech

Today we’re going to visit a city located on the windy Atlantic coast, about two hours southwest of Marrakesh, is the small city of Essaouria. “Swerah,” as locals call it, or it’s old Portuguese name “Mogador. This blue seaside town combines some of the best of what Morocco has to offer — excellent beaches, great food and vibrant culture and one of the famous music «Gnaoua» — with a chill atmosphere that isn’t as prominent in other parts of the country.


Itinerary day by day


Marrakech - Essaouira - Marrakech

Our day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira starts at 8 from your hotel and will take you on a spectacular drive through rich valleys filled with orange groves, ancient olive and Argan trees and working farms as you approach the coast. In about one hour drive we will jump out to grab a cup of mint tea or coffee and we will carry on driving until we reach a bizarre sight of tree goats’ phenomenon where you’ll be spellbound to snap some pictures  of cloven-hoofed goats onto the Argan trees.

Once you arrive in Essaouira, prepare to be blown away by this tranquil spot, with a medina that is surrounded by walls, bazaars that are easy to navigate and with beaches that are surprisingly great spots for surfing. The one time Portuguese trading post of Essaouira has a rustic feel that makes you feel as though you are stepping back in time.
