Overview

This full-day bus tour lasts about 12 hours and begins with pickup from your hotel or a meeting point outside Café Argana at 8:00 am. The journey to Essaouira on Morocco’s Atlantic coast takes approximately three hours. Along the way, the guide points out goats climbing argan trees and stops at a local women's cooperative to show how argan oil is produced for cosmetic use. After arriving in Essaouira, guests have about 10 hours to explore the seaside city independently.
