Itinerary

1. Tafetachte
The argan tree, the goat tree: Essaouira by road from Marrakech, there is a passage, just under 30 kilometers from the destination. On the heights, the road crosses land where trees grow here and there, reaching a height of ten meters above the ground. These trees are argan trees and they are covered ... with goats. Indeed, they love the fruits of the argan tree and climb it with surprising ease. They cling to the branches, settle there and taste the fruit at their ease. They actually eat only the pulp and reject the kernel. The latter is then collected by the inhabitants then roasted and then pressed to make oil for their own use or for sale.
Duration: 10 mins
2. Essaouira
By the time travelers arrive in Essaouira, they will have approximately 5 hours of free time. They can start by visiting the old medina of Essaouira. The city of Essaouira has a strong tourist potential, thanks in particular to its natural, historical, and cultural assets, thus becoming a major tourist destination. Its medina, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001 the maze of alleys divides the districts and the various souks. Quite organized despite everything, the souk offers all types of products. Clothing is mixed with spices, necklaces, bracelets, and other items are followed by olives and other fruits and vegetables. There are many restaurants here where the fresh catch of the morning is cooked for lunch or dinner. Many other typical dishes are also offered and it is good to stop on a terrace, in the refreshing shade of the trees.
Duration: 60 mins
3. Essaouira Fishing Port
The old Port and La Sqala du Port d'Essaouira: the port is the second center of the city with the Medina. Throughout the day, fishermen are busy maintaining their boats and preparing for their future outings. In the morning, crates of fish are sold on the quays for some, in the Medina for others. The blue boats of sailors fill the port at midday, all in a colorful and lively atmosphere. This port is Protected by the Squala; Built in the 18th century, it is, with the Scala of the Kasbah, one of the main fortifications of the city.
Duration: 20 mins
4. Essaouira
During free time, travelers can enjoy the calculation of the number of doors in this beautiful medina. The Medina has a large number of gates, located in the city's medina. These doors are influenced by two different types of styles. The Cherifian style, reminiscent of the fortifications of Marrakech, features rounded doors, while the European style features pedimented doors and fluted columns.
Duration: 60 mins
5. Mellah
In Morocco, the Mellah generally refers to the old Jewish quarter of the city. In Essaouira, the Mellah was located at the beginning of the 18th century near dar’makhzen (royal palace and seat of state power) as well as the Tojar Soltan district, also adjacent to the port. After 1809, this district became the Mellah leq'dim (the old Mellah): in its extension, a new district is in fact open to urbanization and accommodates many Jewish families.
Duration: 20 mins
6. Essaouira Beach
Essaouira beach is the first to welcome visitors. Stretching nearly six kilometers in length, it is popular with surfers who come to enjoy the strong waves as well as visitors who want to bask in the sun. The water is fairly cool (18 degrees on average all year round) and the strong currents will end up dissuading you from going to soak your feet in favor of a more cultural, historical, and colorful visit to the city. The fishing port is located in the continuity of the beach. Its blue boats and white cabins with blue shutters are very easy to spot.
Duration: 30 mins
