Essaouira Day Trip from Marrakech-Coastal city, Medina &Free Time

Departure for Essaouira, the former Portuguese Mogador, the white and blue city "well designed" for Sultan Ben Abdallah by a French architect, in the 18C. You will admire the Navy Gate and the Skala with its alignment of bronze cannons. You will appreciate its nonchalant charm, its whitewashed houses, its tranquil squares, its welcoming café-terraces, its old fishing port, its quality craftsmanship (tuya wood marquetry) and its delicious fish. And the unique, cordial atmosphere that reigns in its alleys where locals mingle with tourists and artists from all over the world. After lunch, take the road back to Marrakech around 4 or 5 PM
