Essaouira day trip
Essaouira is the Atlantic coast escape from Marrakech: two and a half hours each way, a walled medina, a working fishing port, and around 20 °C when Marrakech is at 40. The day runs about eleven hours from €25 per person, with a stop at an argan cooperative on the way.
What the day looks like
- A stop in the argan groves — you may see the goats in the trees
- Free time in the medina: the ramparts, the Skala, the souks
- The fishing port and the fish grills on the quay
- The beach, and the wind that made the town a kitesurfing centre
Why it works in summer
The Atlantic keeps Essaouira between 20 and 24 °C almost year round. In July and August, when the medina in Marrakech is unbearable by mid-afternoon, this is the trip that makes the day pleasant.
