This morning travel to the coastal town of Essaouira. The landscape is fairly flat for most of the way, with the Atlas Mountains rising in the distance on a clear day. As you get closer to the coast, it becomes greener and hillier, with olive groves and argan trees gr...
Spend today getting to know Essaouira. We suggest heading out early to watch fishermen unloading their catch from their blue boats in the port, followed by a stroll along the historic ramparts, enjoying views of the city and sea. You can then explore more of the medina, which is very compact and features many stalls and shops selling bright rugs, decorated plates and an array of spices.
Spend another day in Essaouira, perhaps buying a few souvenirs or browsing the market. You could join a Moroccan pastry workshop and learn how to make sweet treats such as almond gazelle horns and orange blossom biscuits. The Place Moulay Hassan public square is a goo...

Your private driver will pick you up for the journey back to Marrakesh Airport in time for your onward flight. Make the most of the views as you travel through the mountains one last time. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
