Escape to the Atlantic Coast
Leave the hustle of Marrakech behind for a day and breathe in the fresh sea air of Essaouira. Known as the "Windy City of Africa," this UNESCO World Heritage site is famous for its laid-back atmosphere, historic Portuguese ramparts, and thriving arts scene.
The drive takes you through the unique Argan forests, where you might spot the incredible sight of goats climbing trees to eat argan nuts. Upon arrival, explore the ancient Medina filled with thuya wood craftsmen, visit the Skala de la Kasbah (a Game of Thrones filming location), and watch the iconic blue fishing boats at the port.
Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch at a local grill by the beach before a leisurely afternoon walk or camel ride on the sand dunes.
