Great trip to Essaouira - Interesting trip. Great guide Ahmed and professional driver Moustafa. The beach is fine, the sand is great. Not enough time on the beach, but not much can be expected from a day trip. Great visit from goats in a tree eating Aragon nuts. Thanks to Morocco Trip Services, we recommend for everyone.
