Essaouira Day Trip
Ocean ramparts, blue fishing boats and a medina that smells of grilled sardines.
Book this on WhatsAppThe windy city sits behind its sea walls an hour and a half up the coast. We take the argan road north, walk the ramparts, get properly lost in the blue-and-white medina and eat fish straight off the grill at the port before heading home.
What to expect
- The coast road north through the argan forest — goats in the trees and all
- The Skala ramparts, cannons still pointing out at the islands
- The medina on foot: spice stalls, thuya woodworkers, blue doors
- Grilled fish at the port, picked from the morning catch
Good to know
- Bring a windbreaker — they call it the windy city for a reason
- Cash for the medina stalls
- The best day out when the swell is blown out
