Essaouira and Medina heritage tour

Essaouira is a character-filled seaside city that's known as the ‘Jewel of the Atlantic'. It's famous for its Medina and European military architecture, and infamous for its pirate haven past. You'll explore its harbour, Medina and arts scene on this day tour from Marrakech, and have a free afternoon to soak up its bohemian atmosphere, fish auction and souks.

On arrival in Essaouira, follow your guide on tour of the city past the port, municipal market, jewellers' district and artisan center. Its mellow atmosphere, narrow winding streets, colorful shops, whitewashed houses and heavy old wooden doors make it a wonderful place to wander around. Free time for lunch then to check out the artisan shops and galleries. Last stop at argan oil cooperative where you can try some local products.
