Essaouira Private Day Trip from Marrakech
Essaouira Private Day Trip from Marrakech
Journey from Marrakech to the enchanting coastal town of Essaouira (also called Mogador) on a full-day private excursion. Travel in comfort through scenic landscapes and the Argan tree forests.
Your private driver will stop en route at a Berber women’s argan oil cooperative so you can see how the famous argan oil is produced and even sample or buy products.
Once in Essaouira, you’ll have free time to wander the UNESCO-listed medina, visit the Skala de la Kasbah ramparts with ocean views, explore workshops of Thuya wood crafting, stroll the bustling port, and relax on the beach.
Lunch is served at a seaside restaurant (fresh seafood recommended). After enjoying coastal charm, you’ll head back to Marrakech in the evening, arriving around 7:00–8:00 PM, with drop-off at your accommodation.
Because this is a private tour, you can customize departure time, stops, or duration as you prefer.
