Agadir to Essaouira Day Trip
Overview
Discover Essaouira, the Atlantic coastal city famous for its historic Medina, fishing harbor, artistic atmosphere and traditional architecture. The journey is as memorable as the destination: you will enjoy a dramatic drive along wild, wind-swept Atlantic beaches and rugged cliffs, then cross the Argan forests where, with a little luck, you may spot goats perched high up in the Argan trees. In Essaouira, wander the blue-and-white lanes of the Medina, walk the ramparts of the Skala, watch the fishing boats at the harbor and enjoy free time for lunch and shopping before the scenic ride back to Agadir.
