Itinerary
Day 1 - Essaouira
Arrive into either Essaouira or Marrakech Airport, where you will be collected and transferred to the hotel in Essaouira. After check-in, the remainder of the day is free for you to relax or begin to explore this laid-back coastal town, known for its historic medina, harbour and Atlantic setting.
Day 2 - Essaouira at Leisure
Enjoy a full day to explore Essaouira at your own pace. You can visit the harbour, where rows of blue fishing boats line the quays and daily life revolves around the catch of the day. Time also allows for exploring the medina, a UNESCO-listed old town known for its whitewashed buildings, blue shutters and relaxed, artistic atmosphere.
You may wish to walk along the town’s historic ramparts, which offer views over the Atlantic and the offshore islands, or simply relax on the wide sandy beach and enjoy Essaouira’s easy-going coastal pace.
