Overview

A classic Atlantic medina in one private day

Essaouira feels completely different from Agadir: wind, ramparts, gulls, blue boats and a compact medina full of workshops and galleries.

The drive follows argan country and coastal landscapes, with time in Essaouira to explore the port, Skala ramparts, souks and beach at your own pace.
