Day excursion from Marrakech to Essaouira

The excursion itinerary

After breakfast, depart with your driver to the coastal town of Essaouira, formerly known as Mogador, located about 190 km from Marrakech. Once you arrive, you will have the entire day free to explore this fascinating location. Essaouira is most famous for its Medina, overlooking the sea and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town impresses with its imposing fortress, characteristic white walls, and relaxed atmosphere among its artisan stores, giving it a unique charm with a European flavor. The coast, buffeted almost year-round by ocean breezes and trade winds, is a paradise for windsurfers and kitesurfers. We recommend a visit to the souk area and don't miss the opportunity to explore the port of Essaouira, where you can observe the shipyards, the bustling bustle of fishing boats, and the pier that comes alive with the fish market as the fishermen return. For lunch, we suggest you stop near the port to enjoy delicious dishes of freshly caught fish. Return to Marrakech in the evening.
