Departure from Marrakech to Essaouira

Your day begins with a scenic drive from Marrakech to Essaouira. After your driver picks you up from your hotel or riad, you’ll travel for about 3 hours through Morocco’s beautiful countryside. As you leave the city behind, you’ll pass through areas full of Argan trees, where you might even spot goats climbing the trees to feed. It’s a fun and unique sight, and a great opportunity for a photo stop!

Explore Essaouira’s Medina -

Once you arrive in Essaouira, you’ll be taken to the heart of the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The medina’s narrow streets are filled with artisan shops selling handcrafted goods, local jewelry, and beautiful textiles. Stroll around and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of this historic district.

Key places to visit in the medina include:

Moulay Hassan Square – a lively square that overlooks the port, great for people-watching.
Essaouira Ramparts – walk along the old city walls that offer stunning views of the coastline and the town.
Skala de la Kasbah – an old fortress where you can enjoy panoramic views of the ocean and port.

Lunch by the Port

After exploring the medina, head to the fishing port for a delicious seafood lunch. The port area is lined with restaurants serving freshly grilled fish, including Essaouira’s famous sardines. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a meal while watching the hustle and bustle of the port.

Recommended dishes: Grilled sardines or a mixed seafood platter

Relax on the Beaches of Essaouira

After lunch, take a leisurely walk along Essaouira’s long sandy beaches, known for their peaceful atmosphere. You can relax by the sea or, if you’re feeling more adventurous, try out windsurfing or kitesurfing—the area is renowned for these activities. Whether you choose to relax or explore the waters, the beach is the perfect place to unwind before heading back to Marrakech.

After a fulfilling day of exploration and relaxation, it’s time to head back to Marrakech. On the return journey, enjoy the scenic drive back through the Moroccan countryside, arriving in Marrakech by early evening.
