Morning: The Scenic Journey and Argan Trees 

You have a start point at the early stage when the private and comfortable transportation and the welcoming driver of Morocco Desert Friends picks you up. We take off north west at once across the level plain to the Atlantic coast. The terrain transforms into dry scrubland into large and fertile farmland. It is not long before you can witness a popular and unbelievable sight that has given this Marrakech Day Trips route its specialness, the Argan tree goats! We rest without danger in order that you may take photographs of these active creatures, chewing the leaves of the Argan. Then we go to an accredited women cooperative. Thus, you get to know the complicated mechanism of extracting the precious oil, the real point on the quality trip to Morocco.

Midday: Coastal Arrival and Port Life

You can feel the fresh air, which is colder and less humid as you enter Essaouira. As a result, there is fresh smell of sea and salt in the air. Your guide will tell you where to go, but your driver will show you the places where you will enjoy absolute freedom to wander around the city when you find time- another strong point of hiring one of our Morocco Custom Tours. We strongly suggest that one goes directly to the busy Skala du Port. Actually, the fishermen mending their nets amongst the well-known bright blue boats provides the visitor with one of the most photography opportunities in the entire Trips In Morocco. Moreover, it is the ideal spot to select your seafood lunch, to be grilled on the docks.

Afternoon & Departure: Medina Ramparts and Return

The afternoon suggests the discovery of the old Medina. The alleys are narrow and whitewashed, and shielded by high, imposing walls put up by the Portuguese – the notorious Skala. The view of the Atlantic crashing onto the rocks is overwhelming, as you walk on these ramparts constructed during the 18 th century. Thus, you know why Essaouira is so special. Then you can either go shopping in local artisanal woodwork (thuya wood) or just sit at a cafe at the seafront before your driver starts back to the trip. And lastly we also secure a pleasant and secure approach to Marrakech before night falls. The entire experience proves the worthiness of the Day Trip to Essaouira as a part of the best Morocco Tours.
