Choose Essaouira day trip from Marrakech  to discover a town that was not until 1765 when the Alaouitr Sultan Sidi Mohammad Ibn Abdullah transformed Mogador into a fortified city. The ramparts were never that effective in keeping out the marauding tribesmen but now, a charming artist’s town with it old port and cannons overlooking the fishing fleet, Essaouira invites you to wander through the narrow alleyways which make up the Medina to witness artisans at work making their wooden tables, boxes and sundry items in lemon or briar wood inlaid with mother of pearl. The romans used the purpledye produced by the shellfish to colour the togas of the rich. Weather permitting, perhaps a long stroll on the beach,  not forgetting to enjoy lunch in one of the many famed seafood restaurants. We hope to take you on a day trip you’ll never forget in Essaouira “Mogador” a city under the trade winds.

Testimonials

  • Hicham was one of the most friendly and hospitable people we met while in Marrakech (or Marrakesh). His knowledge of the area, his ability to relate to our questions and the way he took additional care to ensure we were comfortable and that all our needs were met was outstanding. He brought us from Marrakech to Casablanca and took us to the beach, the Mosque, Rick’s Cafe (where he successfully asked if we could have lunch even thought we weren’t in the proper dress code) and brought us to the airport the next day. He was friendly and made us feel very comfortable.

    we enjoyed our Private Day Tours in Morocco thank you hicham

    I highly recommend him for anyone needing a guide in the area.
