Overview

You’ll be picked up from your Marrakech accommodation before 8.00 a.m. to start our scenic journey along the captivating R207 route towards the coast. As we traverse the stunning landscapes, we’ll pause to witness the incredible sight of argan trees where nimble goats often climb and graze on the branches, sometimes up to 20 in a single tree—an unforgettable photo opportunity.

En route, we’ll visit a women’s cooperative, where the highly sought-after argan oil is meticulously crafted. This exquisite oil, extracted from the tree’s kernels, isn’t just a culinary delight, perfect for Moroccan bread or drizzling over pita, but also a cherished beauty elixir renowned for its skin and hair nourishing properties.

Arriving at Essaouira, you’ll be greeted by the vast expanse of the North Atlantic Ocean. The city’s vibrant old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, will captivate you instantly. The ancient walls adorned with brass cannons and protective ramparts stand as a testament to the city’s rich history.

In Essaouira’s juxtaposition of past and present, modern cafes harmoniously coexist with historical treasures. A stroll from a contemporary café to a centuries-old Medina house encapsulates a remarkable journey through time.

The charming sandy beach and expansive promenade invite relaxation and leisure. Feel free to indulge in the sun’s warmth on the golden sands or take a dip in the refreshing ocean. Don’t forget to bring swimwear, sunscreen, and a towel for your beach escapade.

Heading back to Marrakech, our return journey offers the chance to witness the mesmerizing sunset, arriving by approximately 6.00 p.m. Essaouira’s allure as a favored stopover in Morocco will become clear during this captivating day trip to the coast.
