Your driver will pick you up at 8:00 AM to start your 1 day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira, enjoying the natural countryside along the way. During the journey, you’ll have the opportunity to visit a traditional argan oil cooperative. Here, you’ll see the dedicated women who work enthusiastically to extract the oil from argan nuts, transforming it into cosmetics and delicious culinary oil. This intricate process requires significant time and effort from the women involved.

Upon arriving in Essaouira, you’ll have the entire day to explore the medina, surrounded by medieval walls with a castle at their southern edge. The white-washed houses with blue shutters give the city a picturesque appearance. Known as the “Bride of the Atlantic,” Essaouira invites you to stroll through its charming narrow streets, admire ancient French and Portuguese architecture, relax on the beach, visit the harbor, and enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the fishing port’s restaurants. While you can hire a local guide for a city tour, we recommend exploring on your own to fully experience the charm of this small, tranquil town.

As you return from your 1 day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech, you’ll understand why personalities like Orson Welles and Jimi Hendrix fell in love with this enchanting city. End of our services.
