Discover the magical Atlantic port city of Essaouira — one of Morocco's most enchanting destinations. Just 2.5 hours from Marrakech, it feels like a completely different world: cool Atlantic breezes, whitewashed walls, the sound of waves and Gnawa music drifting through blue-painted alleyways. On the drive, you'll pass through the Argan forest — the only place in the world where Argan trees grow wild, home to the famous tree-climbing goats that balance in the branches. In Essaouira, your guide walks you along the magnificent 18th-century sea ramparts with their Portuguese cannons still aimed at the Atlantic. You'll explore the UNESCO-listed medina — far smaller and more relaxed than Marrakech — discovering the vibrant artist galleries, unique Thuya woodworking craftsmen and the famous blue fishing boats in the ancient port. Lunch at the port fish grills is unmissable — choose your fresh fish from the display and watch it grilled over charcoal.
