Essaouira Private Day Trip from Marrakech

Pick up from your Hotel in Marrakech (around 8H00 am) and drive to the former Portuguese possession of Mogador (Essaouira in Arabic). Once arrived to Essaouira, meet your local guide and start the visit of the city. Mogador has been occupied since prehistoric times. The bay at Essaouira is partially sheltered by the island of Mogador, making it a peaceful harbor protected against strong marine winds. This fishermen town has long been considered as one of the best anchorages of the Moroccan coast. The Carthaginian navigator Hanno visited it in the 5th century BC and established the trading post of Arambys.

Essaouira has the particularity of being both a remarkable fortified maritime citadel and a comfortable seaside resort that fulfills all of the holidaymaker's expectations.
