Essaouira, the city of the wind, awaits you for a private excursion full of surprises. You will have the opportunity to discover Essaouira at your own pace with your accredited and fully qualified driver who will allow you to explore the city in the best possible way. By booking a private tour, you will have an exclusive French-speaking driver. There will be no other people in the group than your partner, family or friends. Also, if there are many of you, you will save money.

Planing :

After breakfast, meet your MCT driver/guide for our day trip to the picturesque coastal town of Essaouira located on the Atlantic Ocean. Overlooking a scattering of wave-ravaged offshore islands, Essaouira was founded in 1760 on the site of a 7th century B.C. Phoenician settlement. The old town and port, encircled by 18th century battlements, offers a sandy beach stretching for miles to the south, while richly forested hills extend to the east. Ancient and narrow alleys wind through the medina and among the souks, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001. There you’ll find elegant marquetry–woodwork inlaid with mother-of-pearl and other materials. Artists, fishermen, farmers, craftsman all live peacefully in this enchanted coastal town. On the way we stop at an Argan Oil cooperative to learn about the making of the oil that is used in cosmetics and cooking. We have a seafood lunch in Essaouira and afterwards we tour the port, the Skalla ramparts and the souks with their colorful array of wares before returning to Marrakech.
