Overview
Taking a day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech with a private car and English speaking driver will take about 3 hours and will transport you from an ancient desert city to a magical seaside port village.
This 18th century village designed by Europeans as a Portugese fishing village, the port is a working port that you can visit to see Moroccan fisherman bringing in their daily catch. Choose what you like fresh off the boat and take the fish to a nearby grill for a fresh seafood lunch.
On your day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech you can wander the medina of Essaouira at your leisure to see a lot of art and handicrafts. Take your time and shop in some of the newer and more modern shops that are popping up. Or choose to visit the traditional shops with lots of souvenirs to take home with you without the pressure of Marrakech.
When you enjoy your day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech you will discover the magic of this amazing old fishing village complete with a working port right next to the ramparts laden with canons, ready to protect the city. Explore the streets and feed one of the local stray cats, although they won’t need the food because the locals take such good care of them.
