Starting & Finishing Point: Your Hotel In Marrakech
Essaouria is a fun-filled and relaxing day trip from Marrakech. After breakfast at your hotel, depart for Essaouira.
The journey to this former Portuguese fishing village offers up only a few roadside towns and the occasional Berber village.
In the ’60s and ’70s, Essaouira was a pitstop on the hippie trek from Marrakesh. Jimi Hendrix made the pilgrimage,
as did Bob Marley and Cat Stevens. Essaouira was the inspiration for Hendrix’s song “Castles Made of Sand”.
Visit this sea-side medieval town that boasts lovely white-washed and blue-shuttered houses, colonnades,
thuya wood workshops, art galleries and mouthwatering seafood.
The medina of Essaouira (formerly "Mogador") is a UNESCO World Heritage listed city,
as an example of a late-18th century fortified town.
