Your Essaouira day trip from Marrakech begins with an 8am pickup. As you embark on this excursion, you’ll enjoy the picturesque countryside surrounding Marrakech. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to visit an argan cooperative, where the region’s famous argan oil is produced. Witness the dedicated work of the women of the cooperative as they extract oil from argan nuts, creating cosmetics and flavorful cooking oil. This process takes time and effort on the part of the women involved. Upon arrival in Essaouira, you’ll have the entire day to explore the medina. Surrounded by medieval walls with a castle at its southern end, the town’s whitewashed, blue-shuttered houses contribute to its stunning appearance. Take a leisurely stroll through the charming narrow streets. Marvel at the old French and Portuguese architecture, relax on the beach, and visit the port. Enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the restaurants overlooking the fishing port. If you prefer, you can hire a local guide for a tour of the town. but it is recommended to explore on your own to fully experience this small, quiet town. The day concludes with a return to Marrakech in the afternoon, around 6 p.m.
