Start your day excursion to Essaouira from Marrakech at 08:00 AM. Traverse the Houaz Plains en route to the village of Sidi Lmokhtar just west of Marrakech. Take a coffee break and proceed through the exceptional Argan tree forest in the area, where you can witness goats scaling trees in search of Argan nuts, a unique and marvelous sight. Make a stop at a local cooperative that produces Argan oil before heading to Val d’Argan, a vineyard founded by a French wine expert. Optionally, you can indulge in some wine tasting before departing for Essaouira. Upon arrival, meet your local guide who will lead you through the city, exploring the Medina, the Mellah (the old Jewish quarter), the Kasbah (ancient military fortress), and the fishermen’s port. Enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, savor free time to relish the city, with its stunning beaches and laid-back ambiance; sip on coffee or mint tea at the renowned Place Moulay Elhassan while being serenaded by evocative Gnawa music. Subsequently, your driver will transport you back to Marrakech. The day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira will conclude around 18:00, with your driver dropping you off at your hotel or riad.
