Meet a driver at your hotel in Marrakech, or at a central location, for the roughly 3-hour trip to Essaouira, a laid-back city that’s cooled by sea breezes. On your way to Essaouira, make a stop at an Argan oil cooperative, learning how the golden oil is produced using traditional techniques. Upon arrival in Essaouira, set out on your own to explore the compact historic center, ringed by fortifications with great views of the ocean. You’ll have the freedom to see and do what you want. You can sip mint tea in the Moulay el Hassan square, browse for souvenirs at the bazaars, or try freshly caught, local seafood at an open-air restaurant.

Essaouira (pronounced “Essa-we-rah”) was called Mogador until the 1960s and is a port city located in the middle of Morocco’s Atlantic coastline. It is a walled city protected by seafront ramparts from the 18th century. The views of the city from the walls were absolutely gorgeous; however, what we found inside the walls was even better: a relaxed, bohemian lifestyle filled with colorful ceramics, beautiful doors, delicious food, and friendly people!
