Essaouira Day Trip from Agadir

Overview

Essaouira, historically known as Mogador, is Morocco's laid-back Atlantic port town: a walled, UNESCO World Heritage medina of blue and white architecture, wood workshops, seagulls, and a constant sea breeze. It's an easy, scenic full-day tour from Agadir or Taghazout.

Your experienced driver picks you up from your hotel in Agadir or Taghazout in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, following the scenic coastal road with a stop to spot the tree-climbing goats and visit an argan oil cooperative. Once in Essaouira, you're free to explore the ramparts, the souks of the medina, the historic fish port, and the beach at your own pace before heading back in the evening.

Pickup is at 07:00 AM from Agadir hotels and 07:30 AM from Taghazout, with drop-off back at your hotel between 7:30 and 8:00 PM.
