Essaouira Unveiled
A Guided Day Trip from Agadir
Embark on an unforgettable journey to Essaouira, the Portuguese Forteresse, or Mogador town, nestled within the imperial cities of the kingdom of Morocco. This guided day trip invites you to step back in time to 1506 when the city was built by the Portuguese and christened Castelo Real de Mogador.
Our adventure commences promptly at 7:30 AM from your hotel or residence in Agadir. As we gather our passengers, the scenic drive along the Atlantic Ocean coastline unfolds, promising stunning views and a momentary pause at Tamri Beach for a panoramic spectacle.
En route, be captivated by the extraordinary sight of goats perched on trees, colloquially known as the “flying goats,” a unique phenomenon exclusive to Essaouira. Our final pre-Essaouira stop awaits at the Argan Cooperative, offering insights into the traditional production of argan oil, a renowned local product.
Upon arriving in Essaouira, ample time is provided for you to explore its rich heritage. Immerse yourself in history as you visit iconic landmarks such as the City Walls, the Dutch cannon crafted by Adrianus Crans in 1744, the Genoese-built citadel near the harbor, the ramparts of the Medina, and the enchanting harbor scala. Wander through the vibrant souk market, delve into the heart of the historic Medina, and soak in the charm of the old harbor.
Before our return journey to Agadir commences around 3 PM, indulge in a delightful meal in Essaouira, savoring the local flavors that characterize this coastal gem. Anticipate your arrival back in Agadir by approximately 7 PM, marking the end of a guided day trip filled with cultural immersion, historical exploration, and the coastal allure of Essaouira.
