    Excellent place! I loved the peaceful, historic city with its spectacular views. It was clean, tidy, and the food was very good. If you like fish, this is a must-try. The guide was exceptional; I can't believe how much he knew and how many languages he spoke. We learned so much! The driver, Mohamed, was so kind and made the trip very pleasant and entertaining. Highly recommended!

Essaouira Day Trip

Leaving The Red City behind, we set a course for the coast until, after a journey of three hours, we arrive at Essaouira, "The Pearl of the Atlantic."

Once in Essaouira, you'll have free time to admire its fortifications, the fishing port and the labyrinthine old town, where you can bask in the atmosphere and the day-to-day life of its inhabitants. The town also boasts a seemingly unending beach and it's recommended to try the delicious, freshly caught fish and seafood.

The tour will then set off back to Marrakech, returning to the city after a total of 11 hours. And from this point onwards, you'll never again ask why celebrities such as Orson Welles and Jimi Hendrix fell in love with Essaouira.
