Essaouira Day Trip from Marrakech

About this tour

Walled ramparts, the breath of the trade winds, houses with white and blue facades, the color of foam and waves—Essaouira, the old Mogador, is the “Bride of the Atlantic.”

It’s one of those coastal towns where the art of living and nautical activities complement each other. You can stroll peacefully in the shade of its ramparts, the very same ones that outline Astapor, the Red City from the “Game of Thrones” series. Climb these walls and follow the ramparts walk, from where you can see the Purpuraires Islands, hawks, seagulls, and gulls soaring above this natural reserve. In the distance, surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing enthusiasts never tire of the quality of the wind!

Then, step by step, the walk leads to the lively fishing port; nearby, the fish market where you can taste the fish and seafood caught overnight. In the center, the medina unfolds its network of alleys. Among the most beautiful in Morocco, it is classified by UNESCO. Finally, every summer, the city bathes in music: the Gnaoua Festival is held there, celebrating Afro-Maghrebi rhythms.

To welcome you, the eco-resort Mogador opens its doors. For several years now, Morocco has embraced responsible tourism, and this establishment contributes to this ambition, just like the nearby beaches labeled with the Blue Flag, a guarantee of their quality.

You can relax, exercise, or enrich yourself: the enchanting Essaouira-Mogador is a destination of a thousand and one possibilities!
