The day begins early with a comfortable ride in an air-conditioned vehicle from your accommodation in Marrakech. Along the way, enjoy scenic landscapes and typical Berber villages. A coffee break is usually scheduled to relax before reaching the coast.
Formerly known as Mogador, Essaouira welcomes you with its famous ramparts, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, the city offers a striking contrast between its Vauban-style fortifications and the laid-back, peaceful atmosphere that fills its streets.
You’ll have plenty of time to wander the winding streets of the medina, chat with local artisans, and discover the secrets of age-old craftsmanship—carved thuya wood, jewelry, art objects, and more. A charming walk in a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere.
As the boats return, the port comes alive. The smell of grilled fish leads you to the local food stalls, where you can enjoy a simple yet delicious meal made with freshly caught seafood. An authentic and unforgettable culinary experience!
Enjoy a relaxing moment on the beach or continue strolling through the souks. In the late afternoon, the return journey to Marrakech begins—with your mind full of memories and your heart still carried by the ocean breeze.
