A very worthwhile day-trip to the old port of Essaouira. Feared as a lair for pirates in days gone by, it is now one of the most charming towns on Morocco's Atlantic Coast. As well as a lively fishing harbour and a wild, windswept beach it has a wonderful souk for shopping and more quiet from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech.

Inclusions: Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, Bottled water, WiFi on board

Exclusions: Lunch, Snacks

The old coastal port of Essaouira is within easy reach of Agadir for a day trip, but a tour on your own means negotiating with taxi drivers or public buses. This tour saves you both time and effort, and you'll learn more about the sights of Essaouira than you would find out on your own. Tour the Atlantic-walled city walls, Skala Fortress, and the old medina, and take time for lunch (own expense), a walk, and shopping. Visit the beach and famous Essaouira port on a day trip from Marrakech. Avoid the stress of taxis or buses and travel in an air-conditioned minibus. See the scale, souks, and more, and buy and eat (at your own expense) in the old medina. Relaxed pickup from the hotel in Agadir and return transfer are included in the price.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: Lunch

This 3 day excursion to the Sahara Desert complete with camel ride to our beautiful overnight glamping stay was truly magical! Kamal our guide and driver was the best! He was very informative and helpful. He picked us up at our hotel in Marrakech and safely drove us through the Atlas mountains to a hotel with incredible views. On day 2 we proceeded to the desert but before we got there he stopped and purchased a Cheiche for each of us which the camel guides wrapped around our heads. We got on the camels and rode out into the sunset where our Berber hosts were waiting for us. It was an absolute bucket list event. If you are hesitant about doing this...don't be! Just have Kamal take you!! BTW...I forgot to mention that Kamal also helped us stop for wine before we went to the desert! I would give this a six star review if I could!!
