What makes visiting Essaouira in one day special

Essaouira is one of the best day trips from Marrakech because it offers a clear contrast with Morocco’s inland landscapes. Compared with the intense pace of Marrakech’s medina, the coastal city has whitewashed streets, blue doors, craft workshops, a fishing port and a long beach open to the Atlantic.

The visit combines several experiences in one day: medina, port, blue boats, ramparts, Skala de la Kasbah, beach and a stop at an argan cooperative.
