Our destination is the historic city of Essaouira, a small seaside town with an old fortified fishing port. Founded in the 16th century by the Portuguese who occupied it till the mid of the 18th century. the impressive town fortification consists of an amazing mixture of the Portuguese, Berber and French architecture. You will have enough time to explore the small city at your leisure such as the souks and carpentry workshops devoted to Thuya wood carving. See numerous art galleries in the medina and visit the fortified harbor with its stalls of fresh fish.

    I booked with Green Palm transport a day trip to Essaouira and we got picked up by very professional and smart driver Chafik he is very friendly and knowledgeable, He is very expirienced and knows where to go and stop for food(all good drivers know the best spots for food hence the michelin stars) on our way to Essaouira we made one stop and it was a nice place clean and delicious crepes were served. Once we arrived in Essaouira He adviced us where to go and what to do. We spent the day in this lovely town well recommended to visit. On the return leg it was nice and smooth we slept for most of it as we were tired from a day at the beach. The vehicle use for this trip was a black Mercedes benz Vito in excellent condition clean and I would say relatively new which made it a very comfortable trip and a first class experience. Thank you for a wonderful trip Chafik and Green Palm transport. Check them out for your transport needs while in Marrakech.
