Day trip to Essaouira
Meaning ‘little picture’ in Arabic, Essaouira is a painter’s dream offering a laid-back alternative to the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh. Located on the waterside, it is a vibrant blue and white ‘medina’ (walled city) with a colourful port, striking boats, and a long sandy beach. It’s easy to navigate using the tiny passageways and pungent souks with so much to see and do you could easily spend two or three days here. However, we have used our experience and offer the following day trip to help you experience the best that the city has to offer.

Enjoy a lunch of fresh fish in a local restaurant.
During your trip, visit an association of Berber women producing argan oil, see the local markets, and marvel at the gems in the jeweler’s quarter.
