Essaouira day trip from Marrakech

Enjoy your Essaouira day trip from Marrakech with our Morocco Holiday Packages! After breakfast, we will pick you up from Marrakech, and travel to Essaouira city. Where we will have a stroll around the fortified rampart of the old city. Which used to be a set in the prevalent series Game of thrones. This port was previously known as Mogador and for its wonderful blue boats. Here we’ll enjoy the charming sight as we see the fishermen, bringing in their catch or mending their nets. The harbor was once the lair of pirates who sailed out. To plunder richly laden ships that passed along the coast. Overall, this was the main trade route round the Cape of Good Hope to Western Europe. It later became a free port. When it had a small international community of merchants. In addition to the cosmopolitan mixture of different influences. That makes it a wonderful place to explore full of visual surprises.

After that, we will move to explore the smallest streets of Essaouira city. Which filled with fantastic local artisans’ handicrafts. We’ll visit the Berber women association which produces Argan oil, and visit the tiny workshop which specializes in ornate paid work using Thuya wood “a local conifer”. Later on, we’ll have a fresh fish lunch in the souk (Market) with the locals. After that, we can come along for a walk near the beach before we head back to Marrakech. This way our Essaouira day trip from Marrakech will end!
