Enjoy a day trip to Essaouira from Marrakesh as you enjoy the stunning landscape of the countryside and make stops along the way, such as at a women's co-operative manufacturing marvelous Argan oil.

    • Head to Essaouira from Marrakesh in an air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy the 2 hours 40 minutes drive while soaking in the lovely view of the landscape.

    • Notice the change in vegetation as you near closer to Marrakesh with more of Argan trees in sight.

    • Stop by for argan oil tasting at a cooperative run by the local women and see the process of argan oil extraction.

    • Take pictures at several more stops including the famous argan tree where several goats clamber up the low branches and feed.

    • Fun Fact: Essaouira was once home to many hippies, especially in the 1960s and 1970s. Several famous artists like Cat Stevens and Jimi Hendrix lived in the city for a short period of time.

  • Armed with this ticket, take a trip to Essaouira, a lovely coastal locale, from Marrakesh. Get picked up from your hotel and enjoy a 2 hour 40 minutes drive to the city. The breathtaking view of the landscape will be worthy of your Instagram stories. Feel a sense of peace as you see the cattle grazing in the countryside until the vegetation gradually changes to argan trees. Stop by the Argan Oil Women Cooperative, to learn about how this much-prized oil is produced right in Morocco. Don’t forget to capture pictures of the famous argan tree that always has goats climbing onto its lower branches to munch on the berries. If you’re lucky then you may catch around 20 goats perched up on the branches and this surely makes up for a fascinating sight to behold. If you’d like to take a short walk then the beaches, which the city is so famous for, are perfect to do just that. A long promenade is along the shore and you can walk down its path, admiring the scenic views. Your tour ends as you admire the wonderful countryside views before arriving back at your hotel.
