Day Trip Essaouira from Marrakech
Description
At 8 : 00 am your driver will pick you up from your accommodation and drive towards the west. On the way, you stop to see the holy trees of argan. It is a special tree adapted to semi-desertic areas and valued for its medicinal properties. Goats climb these trees for grazing and to learn more about argan production you can visit one of the women cooperatives in the area working on the extraction of both nutritive and cosmetic oil. 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.

Our private driver was Mohamed. Daytrip to Essaouira to the atlantic coast and he was so smart and nice. We had a good time doing jokes and conver-sation. He was in time and showed us special regions. Every time again.Thanks for being our hero of the day ;0)

I had a great experience with Green Palm Transport. Our driver was Youssef Khouiammi. He was awesome! He was always on time and full of knowledge. He is always in a great mood!
We did day trip to Essiaoura and spent 2 nights in Marakesh, 1night in Agafay. Yusef was our driver throughout the 3 night trip and made our trip amazing. Very safe driver, speaks great English. Very great especially for American travelers. Always smiling, funny guy, adds great vibes for those drives.
Went with five of my friends from New York, and it was an amazing time! Our driver Yousef was great, and very informative about the culture.
Amazing experience! Youssef Khouiammi was an amazing guide, and took us to all of the best spots in Eusaosira. Very friendly, and made the trip amazing!

After getting waylaid by illness, my fiancee and I needed to catch up with our tour group in Essaouira. Taoufik from Green Palm came to the rescue, providing transportation to and from the hospital, helping us work & communicate with medical staff, and getting us caught up with our tour. His presence, communication skills, professionalism, and friendship saw us through a very difficult time.
Hello, Thank you so much for your kind words. We are truly touched to hear how Taoufik was able to support you during such a challenging time. At Green Palm, we always strive to go beyond transportation and provide genuine care and assistance to our guests. We’re glad that Taoufik’s professionalism, communication, and friendship helped you both feel supported and get back on track with your tour. Your satisfaction and well-being are our top priorities. Wishing you all the best for your upcoming wedding and future journeys! Warm regards, The Green Palm Transport Team
