Marrakech Day Trip to Essaouira

At about 170km from Marrakech, Essaouira, old Portuguese fortified city formely kown as Mogador, appeared in its white and blue in the daylight, and pink contrast when the sun caressed its ramparts, city of artists (painters, musicians, writers etc.) craft (woodworking cedar, jewelry, weaving etc.) and sacred music Gnawa (Gnaoua Music Festival every last week of June).

The picturesque medina is hosted by the local way of life, its port brings us back to past centuries, where you can eat in the fresh fish of the day. On the way back, 20km of Essaouira a break is in a women’s cooperative of Argan oil production and products that will reveal all its secrets, as used in food cosmetology and traditional medicine.

Apart from the desire to preserve this ancient tree, cooperatives are also the origin of a new life of the women who work with joy. Widowed or divorced for the most part, they could not leave their homes or feed their children and provide for the basic needs of their families. Throuth this activity revived, they could be rehabilitated in a professional life and regain their human dignity.

Departure at 08h00 from your accommodation to discover this beautiful windy city.
