Essaouira Day Trip from Marrakech

Set out from Marrakech to Essaouira on a full-day trip to a medieval city on the Atlantic Sea. Stroll past the cannons on the city ramparts and watch yachts and fishing boats navigate a bustling port. Follow narrow lanes and back alleys into the UNESCO-recognized medina, explore a once-thriving Jewish neighborhood and meet skilled local woodcarvers; linger on the city’s broad sandy beaches and take in the sound of gnawa music in the vibrant cafés of Moulay El Hassan square.
