Full description We have extensive experience in organizing such trips, and we do our utmost to ensure the satisfaction of our guests. Moroccan hospitality is the basis of our service, and we consider our reputation as the most important value, surpassing even economic benefits. We offer a personalised service, picking up our guests directly from their hotels or accommodation in Marrakech for an unforgettable journey to the coastal town of Essaouira.

The journey begins by passing through the modern Gueliz area, leaving the hustle and bustle of Marrakech behind and entering the tranquillity of the Moroccan countryside. As we travel along the road, we pass through several picturesque villages. We will make a few brief stops along the way to stretch our legs, visit or simply enjoy a coffee or use the toilets in a traditional setting.

After an hour's drive from Marrakech, we will take a 30 minute break at a typical restaurant in the village of Sidi L'mokhtar, where you will have the option to have breakfast, a snack or just relax. Here you can enjoy an authentic taste of local hospitality while sipping a coffee or mint tea.

Continuing our journey, we will make a very special stop near the famous argan trees, where you can see the goats climbing the branches. These curious animals are an attraction in themselves, and you will have the opportunity to capture this unique spectacle in some unforgettable photos.

Later, we will visit a women's cooperative dedicated to the production of cosmetic products and argan oil. You will be able to learn about the artisanal process of extracting the oil, as well as purchase natural products directly from these cooperatives, thus supporting the local communities.

As we approach Essaouira, we will stop at a panoramic viewpoint that offers a spectacular view of the city and the Atlantic Ocean. This is a perfect place to enjoy the tranquillity of the scenery and take some stunning photographs before heading into the vibrant city.

Upon arrival in the centre of Essaouira, we will meet our official guide at the port car park, which will also be the meeting point with the driver at the end of the day. Your guide will take you to discover the historical treasures of Essaouira, starting with the Kasbah and the Skala, two emblematic monuments offering breathtaking views of the ocean. During the guided tour, you will learn about the city's rich history, its past as a trading port and its role in Berber culture.

Afterwards, you'll head into the old medina, where you'll explore the workshops of craftsmen who keep local traditions alive. From leatherwork to goldsmithing, you will have the opportunity to see first-hand the skill and dedication of these craftsmen, whose techniques have been handed down from generation to generation.

At the end of the tour, our guide will recommend one of the best restaurants for an oceanfront lunch. Here you can savour fresh fish and seafood dishes, prepared with local ingredients, while enjoying the view and the sea breeze.

After lunch, you'll have free time to take a relaxing stroll along the beach or explore more of the town on your own. Finally, you'll meet your driver for the return journey to Marrakech, bringing with you indelible memories of this magical coastal city.
