Itinerary

Day 1Itinerary : Essaouira day trip from Marrakech

Embark on a day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira, starting from your hotel at 8:30 am. As you drive through the Haouz plains, make a stop in Chichaoua village for a refreshing cup of coffee. Along the way, you’ll pass through the scenic Argan trees forest, where you might even spot goats climbing the trees. Take a moment to capture some photos before continuing your journey to Essaouira.

Upon arrival, your first stop will be the harbor, where you can explore the fishing port and admire the old Portuguese fortifications. Marvel at the medieval war cannons that overlook the Atlantic Ocean. Next, venture into the Medina, the old city, which is surrounded by well-preserved fortifications dating back to the 18th century. Don’t miss the iconic La Scala, a defensive structure built to protect against sea attacks. Continue your exploration to Bab Laalouj, one of the main gates of Essaouira, and then visit the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter.

As you wander through the streets, you’ll come across various art shops, galleries, souvenir shops, and thuya wood craft shops. Choose one of the local cafes for a delicious seafood lunch, savoring the flavors of the coastal cuisine. Afterward, make your way to a famous Kasbah, known for its role as a military bastion. If you’re a beach lover, take a stroll along the sandy beach of Mogador. Relax, sunbathe, and watch as watersport enthusiasts indulge in kitesurfing or windsurfing.

Exploring the medina of Essaouira

One of the highlights of a day trip to Essaouira is exploring its captivating medina. Unlike Marrakech’s bustling and labyrinthine medina, Essaouira’s medina is more compact and easier to navigate. As you wander through the narrow streets, you’ll encounter whitewashed buildings adorned with vibrant blue doors and windows, creating a striking contrast against the azure sky.

The medina is home to a variety of shops and stalls, offering everything from traditional handicrafts to fresh seafood. Take your time to browse through the souks and immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere. Don’t forget to haggle with the friendly shopkeepers and pick up some unique souvenirs to bring back home.

Must-visit attractions in Essaouira

While exploring the medina is a must, there are also several other attractions in Essaouira that shouldn’t be missed. One of the most iconic landmarks is the Skala de la Ville, a historic fortress that offers panoramic views of the city and the Atlantic Ocean. Climb to the top of the fortress and take in the breathtaking scenery, or simply relax on one of the many benches and soak up the peaceful atmosphere.

For those looking to relax and unwind, Essaouira is also home to stunning beaches. Whether you prefer to bask in the sun, take a dip in the refreshing waters, or try your hand at water sports such as windsurfing or kitesurfing, there’s a beach for everyone in Essaouira. The long stretches of golden sand and the gentle sound of the waves crashing against the shore create a serene and idyllic setting.
