About this tour
Overview
Two and a half hours west of Marrakech, the Atlantic wind hits you before you even leave the car. Essaouira is everything Marrakech is not — quiet, blue, wide open, and windswept. White medina walls, blue fishing boats, ancient Portuguese ramparts facing the ocean.
This is the city that seduced Jimi Hendrix, Orson Welles, and half of Europe’s creative class in the 1970s. You’ll understand why the moment you walk through the main gate and into the medina’s labyrinth of art galleries, spice shops, and wood carvers.
On the way you stop at an argan oil cooperative run by Berber women, watch the famous goats balancing in the argan trees, and make a breakfast stop with the Atlas behind you and the coast ahead.
“Essaouira doesn’t try to impress you. It just opens its arms and lets the wind do the rest.”
