Tour Plan
Your day excursion from Marrakech to Essaouira should begin at 8 a.m. West of Marrakech, in the town of Sidi Lmokhtar, you'll find the Houaz Planes.
Wander through the rare argan tree forest on your way to the coffee shop. Goats may be seen scavenging for argan nuts on the trees here. Stop by a local cooperative that manufactures argan oil before visiting Val d'Arguin, a vineyard established by French wine enthusiasts. Before you go for Essaouira, you may have a glass of wine if you want.
You'll want to hook up with a local guide as soon as you arrive so they can show you around the city. Pay a visit to the Fishing Port, Kasbah, Medina, and Mera (the Old Jewish Quarter).
