Morning: Your day starts with a scenic drive through the fertile Haouz plains towards the town of Chichaoua, where you can enjoy a coffee before continuing your journey to Essaouira. Along the way, you’ll pass through an argan tree forest, where goats are often seen climbing the trees. Stop at a local women’s cooperative to learn about the traditional argan oil production process and the natural cosmetics made from it.
Arriving in Essaouira: Once in Essaouira, enjoy free time to explore the city at your leisure. Wander through the medina’s charming souks and galleries, discover traditional woodwork workshops, and admire the art of cedarwood inlay. Visit the fishing port, the ramparts, and historic military buildings such as the Sqala of the Kasbah and Sqala of the port.
For adventure seekers, Essaouira’s strong winds make it an ideal spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing, earning it the nickname “City of the Wind.”
Afternoon: Take the opportunity to sample Essaouira’s famous seafood, such as the delicious tagine Souiri or freshly grilled fish, at one of the waterfront restaurants.
In the late afternoon, return to Marrakech, where your trip ends at your accommodation or the nearest accessible point to your riad.
