PRIVATE FULL DAY TOUR FROM MARRAKECH TO ESSAOUIRA

Overview
You are picked up from your hotel in Marrakech before 8.00 a.m. Along the way we will stop off at a
women’s cooperative where argan oil is produced. The oil is extracted from the kernels of the tree
and is a delicious accompaniment to a Moroccan bread meal or simply for drizzling over a pitta
bread. The oil is also used as a beauty product for skin and hair treatment.
Our Day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech arrives in the resort and port city where you’ll see the vast
expanse of the North Atlantic Ocean. The vibrant old town (medina) is a world heritage site, and it
won’t take you much to realize just why. Old brass cannons line the walls and ramparts protect the
sea front from ancient invasions. There are several modern cafes and restaurants in the port city and
this up-to-date culture combines with the history of the city very well. You will feel as though you are
drifting in a time machine as you move from modern café to a rickety house in the medina in just a
few yards.
There is a long prom on the beachfront where a sandy beach welcomes bathers, and those who wish
to relax in the sun on the golden sands of this charming city. To this end, you should bring swimwear,
sunblock and a towel along with you for your time on beach.
Our return journey will leave for Marrakech to arrive back in time for 6.00 pm. Once again you’ll be
able to enjoy the surrounding sunset as the sun begins to set in the late afternoon. Essaouira is a
popular stopover point for most tourists visiting Morocco, and you’ll see just why when you embark
on this fascinating day trip to the coast.
