Lovely coastal town - Lovely day out to Essaouira. Only thing to note is that Viator gave a pickup time of 8, however our transport had expected us at 740- ensure to confirm with the tour operator! Lovely souks, plenty of food and bar options, and a gorgeous beach. Thank you so much!

What a delight …and more! - The camel ride on the Sahara desert with my second half was unbelievable. It was such a fun ride that we met other people enjoying the ride as much as we did. Entertainment was in place right after a nice dinner. A night to cherish and remember for the rest of our lives.

Awesome - Having a grilled fish in the old city of Essaouira was very authentic experience. The old cannons on the coast was beautiful as well.

Just paying for a vehicle to Essaouira - We enjoyed the day, but it could have been much better with historical or cultural narration provided. Essentially we paid for a van to provide travel there and back with a stop at an argon oil cooperative.

Not worth it - It is too far from Marakech and it took 3 hours each way to get there. There was nothing special about the place that we could not find in Marakech. The bus was old and it felt like riding a carriage. So much shake and noise in the vehicle. The AC was not able to cool the temperature inside the car and it was very unpleasant

Trap of argan oil cooperatives on the road to Essaouira - Arrivals at Marrakech airport, a taxi took us to Essaouira; On the way he absolutely wanted to take a toilet break. We refused but he stopped as if by chance in front of an argan oil cooperative. We went to see and stupidly bought oil and soaps at a prohibitive price! When we attempted to stop at the viewpoint with two camels waiting for us, we didn't get out of the car and demanded to go to the hotel.
