Essaouira Extension

Day 1
Essaouira

From Marrakesh, a morning drive brings you to Essaouira, a charming seaside town enclosed within 18th century ramparts. Essaouira’s whitewashed houses, with their blue shutters and ornate doors under the bright Moroccan sun, give it a picturesque Mediterranean atmosphere. Orson Welles filmed scenes for Othello in this town in 1949, and Jimi Hendrix spent time here in the 1960s.

Day 2
Essaouira

Enjoy a day of independent exploration on your own in this lovely little town. Head out on foot to ramble along the waterfront, where wooden fishing boats are still built the traditional way, visit the bustling fish market, walk up to the old fort, with its cannons and battlement facing the sea, and explore the great little artisan shops that line the narrow lanes.
