DAY TRIP FROM MARRAKECH TO ESSAOUIRA

DAY TRIP FROM MARRAKECH TO ESSAOUIRA, Start your day excursion from Marrakech to Essaouira at 8:00 a.m. To reach the Sidi Lmokhtar village west of Marrakech, cross the Houaz Planes.

After stopping for coffee, you’ll proceed by the area’s unusual Argan tree forest. Here, goats can be seen climbing trees in search of Argan nuts, which is a magnificent and rare sight to watch.

Before going to Val d’Argan, a vineyard started by a French wine expert, you can make a stop at a local group that processes Argan oil. You can drink some wine before heading to Essaouira if you so wish.

When you get there, you’ll meet your local guide, who will give you a tour of the area. The Medina, the Mellah (the former Jewish neighborhood), the Kasbah (the former military stronghold), and the fishermen’s port will all be visited.

A nearby restaurant will serve lunch. You will have the afternoon to yourself to explore the city, its lovely beaches, and the placed atmosphere. You can sip coffee or mint tea at the well-known Place Moulay Elhassan while taking in the expressive Gnawa music playing there.

Your driver will then transport you back to Marrakech. Around 18h00, your driver will drop you off at your hotel or riad to conclude your Marrakech to Essaouira day excursion.
