Arriving in Essaouira from Marrakech around 11 am, you’ll have a delightful day ahead to explore this charming coastal city before heading back at 5 pm. Here’s a suggested itinerary to make the most of your visit:

11:00 am – Arrival and Start of Exploration

12:00 pm – Explore the Souks and Markets

Dive into the bustling souks where you can shop for unique souvenirs such as argan oil, traditional Moroccan spices, and handcrafted jewellery. The lively atmosphere and vibrant colours are a feast for the senses.

1:00 pm – Lunch at a Local Restaurant

Enjoy a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant. Fresh seafood is a must-try in Essaouira, with many eateries offering delicious grilled fish, tagines, and couscous. Pair your meal with a refreshing mint tea for an authentic experience.

2:00 pm – Relax on the Beach

After lunch, head to Essaouira’s beautiful beach. Take a relaxing stroll along the shoreline, dip your toes in the Atlantic waters, or simply sit and enjoy the serene surroundings. The beach is also known for water sports like windsurfing, which you can try if you’re feeling adventurous.

Walk over to the bustling fishing port to see the iconic blue boats and the daily catch being brought in. This is a great spot for photography and to witness the local way of life.

3:30 pm – Explore the Jewish Quarter (Mellah)

Take a stroll through the Mellah, the old Jewish quarter, which provides a fascinating glimpse into the multicultural history of Essaouira. The architecture here is distinct and offers a quieter, more reflective part of the city to explore.
