Essaouira Day Tour

Jimi Hendrix visited once, and he should have stayed in this picturesque, laid-back artist colony which is a three-hour drive from Marrakech. Situated on the Atlantic coast, Essaouira has a steady year round temperature at the 20°C. The expansive golden beach is popular with windsurfers. Famous fresh grilled seafood is served at the port, and in the medina Thuja wood carvers and silver crafters work under the old Portuguese ramparts guarding the city from the sea. One of the most charming walkable medinas in all of Morocco. Recommended year round, especially in summer when it makes a nice relief from Marrakech heat.
