Great Getaway - This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Morocco. The confirmation from the tour company, the driver and of course Omar were pleasant and understanding from the very beginning. Essaoura is definitely a change of pace from Marrakech. The weather is lovely, the beach water is calm and the fresh fish was delightful. Would definitely recommend this tour! You won’t be disappointed. Oh I forgot to mention the opportunity of visiting the Cooperative Marjana on the way. This is where you can learn and see the process of making pure argan oil. Yep! I bought a few bottles :-)

Highly recommended coastal trip - This day trip was perfect timing to avoid a heatwave in Marrakech, as it’s 10 degrees cooler on the western coast. The pick up driver was punctual and our main driver Hamid was very friendly and kind. The whole day was incredibly organised and we would happily do it all again. Thank you to everyone involved at Sahara Travel Trips, this is highly recommend.
