Two and a half hours west, thirty degrees cooler, and the fishing boats come in blue. Here are the best Essaouira day trips: which ones stop at the argan cooperatives on the way, how long you actually get inside the ramparts, and whether the return leaves enough time for grilled sardines on the port.

“Great Guide with Said our tour guide he explained everything to the fullest with history and where we can go to see the best things and our driver Houssin was super fast and got us save from point A to B! Super Tour and had enough time to see and explore on our own! Only thing is you won’t see goats due to new law but everything else makes up for that and Said will explain why we don’t see that anymore but still great tour”
Day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira with transfers, a women-led argan stop, and 4.5 hours in the UNESCO medina and citadel.
“I just needed transportation from Marrakech to Essaouira for myself and my daughter, and it worked perfectly. The communication with the guide worked well, as did the pickup. We had two stops: one at a luxurious gas station to drink and use the bathroom, and the other at a female cooperative. We arrived in Essaouira at 12:30 and then went to our hotel. Stopping for four hours in Essaouira and having a seven-hour bus ride (four hours to come, three to go back) might not be optimal, but for our needs, only going to Essaouira, it has been perfect.”
