Upon arrival, you will meet your local guide, who will accompany you to the city. You will visit the medina, the old Jewish quarter of Mellah, the ancient military stronghold of the Kasbah, and the fishing port.

Lunch will be served at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, you will have free time to enjoy the city, with its beautiful beaches and relaxed atmosphere; enjoy a cup of coffee or mint tea at the famous Moulay Elhassan while listening to atmospheric Gnawa music.

Afterwards, your driver will take you back to Marrakech. Your Marrakech to Essaouira day trip will end around 6:00 PM, as your driver will drop you off at your hotel or riad.

Ha sido un viaje y una experiencia increíble y mágica! Hemos aprendido mucho de ellos, de los berebers, de sus costumbres, sus valores, de su forma de ver la vida y, sobre todo, nos han transmitido el amor que le tienen a su tierra, por lo que pronto volveremos! Tanto Hassan como Moha son personas maravillosas, divertidas, atentas y muy serviciales. No nos ha faltado de nada, nos hemos sentido como en casa, ya que nos han dado un trato perfecto. Sobre los riads y hoteles nada que objetar, pues han sido de 10, limpios y preciosos.

Marruecos tiene una cosa que otros Países no me han dado, y es que cuando te enganchas a el, ya no puedes desprenderte de su calidez, de su sencillez, de su hospitalidad, de los contrastes de sus paisajes, de sus gentes, de sus colores,su luz, sus olores, sus sonidos, por algo le llaman EL IMPERIO DE LOS SENTIDOS…Gran empresa y con un trato de 10, y que decir de nuestro guía Hassan estupendo !! Muchas gracias por todo y por momentos únicos e increíbles. Regresaría sin pensarlo dos veces…es más ya extraño Marruecos y a todas las increíbles personas que conocí ahí !
