Highlights
- Essaouira Ramparts - Your journey begins at your accommodation at 08:00. Leave Marrakech and travel through verdant valleys adorned with orange plantations, venerable olive groves, and active agricultural lands. Make a pause at Chichaoua for a refreshment or light fare at Cafe Afoulki.\n\nProceed beyond your initial sighting of Argan trees. These unique trees are prized for their nutritional, beautifying, and healing qualities. A vestige from the Tertiary period, they are remarkably resilient to aridity and other challenging environmental conditions of southwestern Morocco. Currently endangered, they are safeguarded under UNESCO’s protection.\n\nUpon reaching Essaouira, meander through its olden lanes, effortlessly visualizing the city’s historical past. The streets exude a Portuguese ambiance, a legacy of the 16th century when they rechristened the city and established it as their maritime hub.

Day trip to Essaouira - We had a fantastic time on this trip! Said picked us up right near the hotel and drove us in a comfortable SUV the whole way to Essaouira. Bottled water was also provided. Along the way, we stopped to see the famous "tree goats", as well as a lunch break at a roadside cafe. Said dropped us at the entrance to the old part of Essaouira and gave us directions on where to go and what to see. He met us a few hours later at the agreed location for the ride home. We had a great time; if you are in Marrakech and looking for a day trip, you can't go wrong with this! Just book it!

Beauty on the Coast of Africa - We had an amazing fun filled day. Said was very friendly and patient with us. He was accommodating to our quick demands of wanting to get out and take pictures along the way. He was able to find us when we got lost. His assistance made our trip memorable. The town, the people, and the food are memories that will last a lifetime and we have the pictures to prove it. He even helped us the following day when we couldn’t find a taxi who could take all 4 of us in the cold wet rain in the middle of the night. Yes, I’m the rain. My friend read somewhere that it only rains 21 days out of the year in Morocco. Apparently, we experienced 3 of those days. My friends will be returning next month and plan to contact Said if anything occurs or they want to do another excursion.
