The private day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech begins with a scenic drive through the Haouz plains to the village of Chichaoua, where there will be a stop for coffee before continuing to Sidi Mokhtar. Along the way, the journey passes through a forest of Argan trees, where goats can be seen climbing the branches. This is a perfect opportunity to pause and capture some photos before proceeding to Essaouira. At a local women’s cooperative, Cooperative Marjana, visitors can observe the extraction of Argan oil, also known as liquid gold or Moroccan oil, and discover how exquisite cosmetic products are crafted from this rich oil. Exploring Essaouira is straightforward and enjoyable: the locals are welcoming, the Medina is compact, and the streets are well-organized, making a guide unnecessary. Begin by visiting the harbor, which features a fishing port and ancient Portuguese fortifications, where medieval war cannons still stand, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
