What to expect

Essaouira, a medieval city recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is renowned for its annual Gnaoua music festival. However, there's much more to appreciate during your visits to Essaouira. From its agreeable climate and the bustling Moulay El Hassan Square to the historic La Skala, the port, the ramparts, and the Jewish quarter of Derb Lealouj, not forgetting the serene ambience of the beach.

Your day starts early with a comfortable journey in a minibus. You'll traverse the Haouz plains, pausing to admire landscapes such as the argan forests where you may even catch sight of goats clamber up trees. Upon reaching Essaouira, you're free to meander through the narrow streets and alleyways of the UNESCO-protected medina. Discover the thriving Jewish quarter and engage with talented local craftsmen. Take time to soak up the city's expansive sandy beaches and savour the rhythm of Gnawa music in the animated cafés of Moulay El Hassan Square.

Lunch is at your discretion, whether you prefer mingling with locals or dining at a restaurant - feel free to ask your driver for recommendations. After lunch, unwind on Essaouira's beach and breathe in the fresh air.
