1-day excursion from Marrakech to the coast of Essaouira

Overview:

Day trip to Essaouira and return to Marrakech in the afternoon

After breakfast, depart at 8:00 AM for an excursion to Essaouira from Marrakech. The 3-hour journey takes you to the ancient port of Mogador, built by the Portuguese on a narrow peninsula next to a vast crescent of fine sand. Perfectly enclosed by its impressive 18th-century French-built ramparts, the city is largely pedestrianized and divided into different districts by its grid layout. From the top of the Skala, you can see the colorful fishing port, the fortresses, and the Spanish cannons.

Essaouira is also famous for its refined handicrafts, especially wooden objects (thuya) intricately inlaid with lemonwood, ebony, mother-of-pearl, or copper or silver threads. In the afternoon, around 4:30 pm, we will return to Marrakech. We will drop you off wherever you want or wherever we can reach you by car, and that concludes our 1-day excursion service from Marrakech to Essaouira on Morocco’s Atlantic Coast.
