Enjoy your day on a private excursion to Essaouira and visit the small and charmed medina. Start your journey with a walk in Essaouira and learn about its cultures, Portuguese’s port and artisanal handmade.
Essaouira is located just a few hours from Marrakech on the Atlantic coast.
Do not think that visiting Essaouira in one day is too short ... Of course, we could stay for days and days in the blue city, but one day may be enough to get an idea:
In the morning, we suggest you visit the medina. Since you only have one day, take a look at the shops that interest you when you first come across them. The blue city is full of small art galleries to visit. Do not forget to also climb the ramparts.
For lunch, it's as you want: if you want to eat Moroccan, it's possible but Essaouira also offers a wide choice in terms of gastronomy: seafood specialties, French cuisine, Japanese menu, vegetarian meal...
After the mint tea, go to the port. The atmosphere is high and the place is definitely worth a look. We let you enjoy the joys of the fish auction!
For the afternoon, a walk on the beach, what do you think? For those who don't like walking, Essaouira also offers horse riding, camel riding or quad biking!
Damn, it's almost time to leave: a little ice cream before going back to Marrakech, or an orange juice?
One last piece of advice before leaving Marrakech for the day: in Essaouira, it is much less hot than in the red city. So, really think about taking a little sweater to protect yourself from the wind, and your swimsuit for diving in the Atlantic!
