Essaouira: the Pearl of the Atlantic Ocean<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Essaouira is one of the most fascinating destinations on the Moroccan Atlantic coast, for many reasons. For example, for its historical heritage, which highlights its Skala, a maritime fortress of Portuguese origin (16th century). But its entire medina is interesting, as it has been declared a World Heritage Site. Other evocative corners of the old town are the Jewish quarter or mellah, as well as the small fishing port at the foot of the Skala. It’s no coincidence that some movies and series have been filmed here, such as Game of Thrones.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Cancellation Details<\/strong>: We offer free cancellation up to 72 hours before the tour departure.<\/p>

Meeting Point<\/strong>: The pick-up for your adventure will take place in the iconic Jemaa el Fna square in Marrakech. We will meet at 8:00 AM at the entrance of Caf\u00e9 France, a well-known landmark in the area. <\/p>

Return<\/strong>: The return time is scheduled for 7:00 PM. We will drop you off at a vehicle-accessible location near Jemaa el-Fna Square. <\/p>

In addition, it is a city that intensely lives its folklore, especially Gnawa music, considering itself its ‘capital’ due to the festival it organizes in the summer. And of course, many travelers choose this excursion for its beaches, which offer a refreshing swim and aquatic sports activities for the most daring. That hippie, bohemian, and surfer atmosphere conquered great celebrities, such as Jimi Hendrix. <\/p>

In addition, the journey from Marrakech is relatively short: 200 km in which you cross huge fields of argan, the national tree of Morocco.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
