ONE DAY OF TRIP FROM MARRAKECH TO ESSAOUIRA ITINERARY
After departing from Marrakech for a one-day trip to Essaouira, you’ll journey through Morocco’s stunning landscapes to reach this coastal town.
Along the way, you’ll pass scattered villages, as well as camels, sheep, and goats grazing in the fields. The scenery gradually shifts to argan trees, which produce berries that local goats enjoy.
You can stop for an argan oil tasting at a small cooperative run by local women, where this versatile oil—popular for both cooking and cosmetics—is produced.
As you approach Essaouira, you’ll be treated to a panoramic view of this charming blue and white town. Upon arrival, you are free to explore its unique attractions at your own pace.
Walk along the harbor to see fishermen unloading their daily catch or relax in a seaside restaurant with fresh fish and seafood. Essaouira is a charming town with historic ramparts and a vibrant Medina where local artists sell their crafts made from thuya wood.
The city’s ancient fortifications provide a glimpse into its history as a well-defended seaport. Parquetry remains a local specialty, and the serene beach offers the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon. This concludes your 1-day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira.
