• Marrakech - The full-day excursion to Essaouira from Marrakech begins at 07:00 am. The journey is a pleasant 3.5-hour drive (176 km) through breathtaking landscapes, where travelers can spot dromedaries, sheep, and goats grazing in the fields. The scenery transitions to ARGAN trees, which grow naturally and provide berries for local goats. Travelers have the option to stop for an ARGAN oil tasting at a small cooperative managed by local women, where they can observe the oil extraction process. Additionally, there is an opportunity to see the famous Argan tree, where goats climb the low branches to feed. It’s common to see up to 20 goats perched in a single tree, offering a captivating sight and a perfect photo opportunity.
• Loudaya - A stop for breakfast
• Tafetachte - Approximately 30 kilometers before reaching Essaouira, the road traverses highlands adorned with argan trees, a distinctive feature of this area. Here, goats can often be seen climbing the branches to enjoy the fruit, creating a fascinating and picturesque scene! These nimble creatures consume only the pulp, leaving the kernels behind, which locals later gather, roast, and press to create the valuable argan oil, used in both culinary and cosmetic applications.

As part of the journey, travelers will also visit a women’s cooperative, where they can learn about the traditional methods of extracting argan oil and have the opportunity to taste it.

• Essaouira - Upon reaching Essaouira, travelers will have approximately five hours to explore before heading back to Marrakech.

Begin with the UNESCO-listed Old Medina, a labyrinth of alleys filled with vibrant souks offering clothes, spices, jewelry, olives, and local goods. Numerous restaurants serve freshly grilled fish and Moroccan specialties on shaded terraces.

The 6 km beach is a favorite among surfers, while visitors often enjoy the scenic views and sea breeze from the shore. Nearby, the fishing port, with its blue boats and white cabins, presents one of the city’s most iconic views and serves as the meeting point for the return journey.

Departure from Essaouira is around 16:30, with an expected arrival in Marrakech by 19:00.
