Explore the laid-back fishing town of Essaouira on a full day-private tour from Marrakech. The attractive coastal town has a lot to offer: Visit the traditional port, the golden beach which is famous for wind- and kitesurfing and stroll through the bustling medina to buy souvenirs and art work. Eat some fresh fish for lunch and enjoy the sea breeze during a camel ride on the sandy beach.
Enjoy the drive through the breathtaking Moroccan countryside with its shattered villages, olive groves and wild argan trees. We can stop in a local co-operative run by women who extract the Argan oil from the trees and discover how it is processed into cooking oil and cosmetics. You can taste and buy the products if you like.
After arriving in Essaouira, you can explore the charming city with its portuguese character by foot. Visit the busy harbour and watch the fishermen unloading their catch of the day, take pictures of the pittoresque fishing boats and enjoy fresh fish and seafood at its best.
In the former portuguese medina you can find beautifully shattered white-and-blue houses where local artists are selling their crafts and singing Bob Marley-songs. Visit the historic ramparts and imagine life in the 16th century on the fortress with its impressing view of the shoreline. Drive back to Marrakech in the late afternoon and drop off at your Hotel/Riad.
