Set out on a full-day private excursion to the fascinating Moroccan seaside town of Essaouira. Discover its undisputed charm, which is typified by its colorful boats, bustling fishermen, art galleries, wood workshops, whitewashed houses, and blue-shuttered windows all tucked inside historic red walls.

The easy pickup from your Marrakech hotel or riad marks the start of your private tour. Travel through verdant valleys lined with old olive trees, orange groves, and working farms as you depart Marrakech. Enjoy a cool coffee break in Chichaoua and drive past the first Argan trees, which are valued for their nutritional, cosmetic, and therapeutic properties. These trees, which are protected by UNESCO as endangered species, are Tertiary Period relics that have shown extraordinary resilience to the harsh climatic conditions of southwest Morocco.

When you arrive in Essaouira, wander through its ancient streets and lose yourself in a bygone era. Since it was their port city in the sixteenth century, the city has been influenced by the Portuguese. Savor a seafood feast at nearby eateries that serve freshly caught seafood. Savor the choice between taking a leisurely stroll along the seashore or riding a camel on the beach. After some free time to explore on your own, head back to Marrakech and end your trip with a drop-off at your hotel or riad.
