Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Essaouira & Departure Day
Head to Essaouira, a coastal gem that feels like stepping into a storybook. The UNESCO-listed medina invites you to explore its charming whitewashed streets, dotted with artisanal shops and local artwork. Whether you’re drawn to the lively port with its vibrant blue boats and fishermen at work, or the tranquil beaches offering a peaceful retreat, there’s something here for everyone. The city’s grand ramparts offer sweeping views of the ocean, adding to the sense of timeless beauty that defines this seaside town. As the day winds down, relax at a local café, where you can enjoy Moroccan treats while watching the sunset over the water. Just a two-hour drive from Marrakech, Essaouira makes for the perfect escape. For a deeper dive into local life, consider the Fish to Table tour. Start at the ancient port to select your fresh fish, then follow it to a hidden restaurant where it will be grilled to perfection. Finish your meal with a visit to a local pastry shop, indulging in traditional sweets that capture the flavors of the region. When the evening arrives, a comfortable drive will take you from Essaouira back to the airport, leaving you with fond memories of a coastal escape that will linger long after you’ve returned home.
