4.7/5

Overview:

Take a 1-day excursion to Essaouira from Marrakech to discover one of the Atlantic coast’s hidden jewels. Essaouira, also known as Mogador, is known for its fortified Medina and fishing harbor. Essaouira is a popular day excursion from Marrakech due to its artsy and bohemian ambiance, cool weather all year, and simple 2-hour and 30-minute journey from Marrakech. Every day from Marrakech, an Essaouira day excursion departs, and only one person is required per ticket.

Our day excursion itinerary:

Our 1-day trip to Essaouira has a lot of activities that you can do during your stay in Essaouira (previously known as Mogador), like visiting the Wood Crafts Museum or getting a panoramic view from the old watchtower at the port. You may also pass through the Puerta de la Marina Gate, which connects the port with the rest of the city, or you can watch a fish auction taking place in the port.

However, perhaps the most interesting part about Essaouira would be its old Medina, with narrow alleyways filled with artisanal products displayed for sale. The mix of all the different kinds of craftsmanship gives a unique vibe straight out of a fairytale. Outside the medina, in the upper part of the city, you will find many cannons remaining from the 16th and 17th centuries, great for photographs.

Nearby you’ll look at a bird’s eye view of Essaouira, an enthralling and artistic blue-and-white town. Once you arrive in Essaouira you’ll explore its peculiar wonders at your leisure.

In this coastal Moroccan city, the ramparts are witnesses that will give you an insight into how this old seaport village was well-armed against the threat of invasion.

Drive back to Marrakech late in the afternoon, and your full 1-day excursion to Essaouira will conclude with a drop-off at your hotel or the closest car-accessible location to your riad.

Marrakech to desert trip The tour exceeded expectations and was great! Our driver, Youssef, is a helpful guide. It gives a real lesson in geography and local history. He showed us the Atlas Mountains and then we rode camels across the sparkling sands of the Sahara at sunset. Ah, the camp was luxuriously lovely. My family and I recommend this tour and company. We are grateful to Youssef for making our experience wonderful and stress-free.

A trip to remember My mother and I have had the best experience in our whole life. Other friends of us had recommended Hassan from Let’s Visit Morocco travel from their last travel to Morocco and they were right as we had a lifetime experience with him and the company he works for, they organised the whole trip from the pick up and drop off in Casablanca, we really have been taken care of and we were in safe hands throughout the tour. If you are considering visiting Morocco anytime soon, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Let’s Visit Morocco company and choose Hassan as your guide! Thank you for everything, and see you soon!

Memorable and Adventurous Custom Trip This was my third trip to Morocco for a length of two weeks. I was accompanied by Hassan from Lets Visit Morocco. We were flexible in the itinerary, which is very important to me, and travelled safely. Hassan was very familiar with the desert regions and knows the popular spots and cute riads to stay at. His agency is well connected in all parts that I visited, and there was always a contact to help! His English was proficient, which makes a difference if you want to have more understanding of all the cultural experiences. I felt safe and well cared for. Data is incredibly cheap to get, I would recommend getting data loaded to your local SIM right away if you are not on Roaming, for an extra layer of caution even if you don't plan to stray away. We managed to fit a lot into the two weeks, got some incredible photos, and ate very well! I would recommend to travel with them in a heartbeat - they contributed greatly to the experience. Thank you very much Hassan!

PERSONAS INCREÍBLES EN UN PAIS MARAVILLOSO Viaje apasionante, dirigido por personas maravillosas, no tengo espacio suficiente para describirlo todo, y para agradecerle a Hassan, el trato recibido, la organización, el equipo, y todo lo vivido gracias a su implicación para que todo fuera perfecto, gracias por su sonrisa interminable. Lo recomiendo para todo el mundo, y para todas las edades. Algunos se llevan arena en botellas para recordar el desierto, yo me llevo el desierto y a su gente en mi corazón para siempre. Ciudades increíbles, con lugares preciosos de encanto inigualable. En cuanto pueda volveré. Millones de gracias Hassan.
