Essaouira is a fun-filled and relaxing day trip from Marrakech.
After breakfast at your hotel, depart for Essaouira.
The journey to this former Portuguese fishing village, founded in 1.765, offers up only a few roadside towns and the occasional Berber village. In the ’60s and ’70s, Essaouira was a pitstop on the hippie trek from Marrakesh.
First stop at one of the Argan oil women’s cooperatives to taste a typical local breakfast: Mint Tea, Argan oil, Olive oil and Amlou (a delicious Moroccan dip made from toasted almonds, Argan oil and honey).Argan is unique to the south west of Morocco and has many virtues; this is why it is now used in cosmetics all over the world.
Next, on arrival at the property of Val d’Argan, you visit the vineyards and the winery before we invite for some Moroccan Wine tasting. Val d’Argan wines produced here in red rosé or white and are exported to different parts of Morocco and abroad.
Lunch in Local Restaurant to taste super-fresh grilled fish or shellfish at one of the seafood stalls. Take a stroll along the town’s sunlit pedestrian main square, Place Prince Moulay el Hassan and the fishing harbour, offers breath-taking views of the Portuguese ramparts. Explore the ramparts and the spice and jewellery souks of the medina.
The Medina of Essaouira (formerly "Mogador") is a UNESCO World Heritage listed city, as an example of a late-18th century fortified town.
