« Excellente agence avec des employés au top (Abdellatif, Hasna, les différents chauffeurs que nous avons pu avoir). Malgré que notre logement était en dehors de la médina, un chauffeur venait nous chercher et nous y ramenait directement. Les navettes étaient confortables, les chauffeurs s'arrêtaient à certains spots pour que nous puissions prendre des photos en chemin (chèvres dans les arganiers sur la route d'Essaouira + arrêt dans une coopérative de fabrication d'huile d'argan, différents arrêts dans l'Atlas sur la route de Zagora + visite d'Aït ben Haddou vraiment magnifique, etc..). Si nous retournons à Marrakech nous retournons dans cette agence pour le trip à Merzouga. Scherif, Christelle et le petit prince Raheem ;) »

« It's been a fantastic trip. We have made our excursion to Essaouira as a family with our 4-month-old baby and Ahmed has been a wonderful host. Your treatment, your kindness, your care, your punctuality in picking us up and at all times has made us feel very comfortable! And not only that. His exquisite musical taste, making us travel around Morocco from his music and with super interesting explanations of way! We will definitely repeat with you Ahmed!!! Thank you for this wonderful day! You're the best »

Before you go

What you need to know

Allow 2.5 to 3 hours of driving

The Marrakech-Essaouira road takes about 2.5 to 3 hours depending on traffic, with a stop along the way at a women-run argan oil cooperative.

Bring a windbreaker

Essaouira's beach and harbor are often swept by strong trade winds, even in summer. A light windproof layer helps you enjoy the seafront comfortably.

Lunch and fresh seafood not included

Lunch is not part of the package. Small restaurants at the harbor or on Place Moulay Hassan serve grilled fish of the day, payable on site.

Free time, no fixed guide

Transport is provided by a driver, but exploring the medina and ramparts is done freely, at your own pace.

« Consiglio tanto ITINERANCE PLUS che è riuscita ad accoglierci e farci sentire a nostro agio nel organizzare i nostri tour con loro, a differenza di molte agenzie che abbiamo sentito prima di loro, (quest’ultime molto vaghe e oppressive) .

Siamo stati ad Essaouira e Ourika in giornata, servizio di solo trasporto andata e ritorno, ma comunque puntuale come da accordo, svariati Caffe/toilette STOP o PHOTO STOP ( aprezzatissimi) , nella tratta di ourika ci siamo fermati pure a visitare e scoprire una casa berbera e gustarci un bicchiere di te offerto! Poi ci hanno organizzato un viaggio di tre giorni verso il deserto di MerZouga Un tour meraviglioso che consiglio tantissimo Mi soffermo sui servizi offerti dall’agenzia: Trasporto, prima notte in albergo con cena e colazione e seconda notte in tenda con cena SOETTACOLO davanti al fuoco e colazione giorno dopo, e GIRO IN CAMELLO . da non trascurare la disponibilità dell’autista durante i tragitti sopratutto con i photostop Esperienza molto molto bella!

« Merci Youssef, pour l’incroyable excursion nous avons visité ourika le village berbère c’est à faire avec une belle petite randonnée d’une heure et demi pour voir la cascade et prendre de belles photos avec un très beau paysage. Et nous avons fait le quad à Agafay c’était l’une de mes plus belles excursions avec bien entendu le dîner et le show du soir juste incroyable la vue le paysage les gens serviables. L’année dernière j’avais fait l’essaouira c’était trop bien aussi. Bien entendu ce n’est pas la première fois que je passe par cette agence c’est la deuxième fois la première fois avec mes parents et la deuxième fois avec mon mari. Les prix sont vraiment attractif et pas cher je recommande et je reviendrais avec grand plaisir. Merciiii Yousseeeef De la part de Soso et Imen les tounssiiii »

nous avons connu cette agence par hasard en se promenant, nous avons été bien accueillis à leur agence, un peu surpris par les nombreuses excursions proposées, c'était super, nous avons fait 4 excursions à Essaouira, Ourikat, Ouzoud et dans le desert d'Agafay avec diner spectacle, l'organisation est très bien faite, les chauffeurs sont sympas, (déçu par l'un deux qui ne nous a pas adressé la parole, ni bonjour ni rien) nous citerons celui qui nous a le plus marqué et avec qui on a vraiment sympathisé Fattah, les guides qui nous attendaient sur place ont été très bien et heureusement qu'ils étaient là et nous ont même aidés, et je citerais celui d' Ouzoud Hasmanne, bien sûr qu'ils conseillent des restaurants mais n'obligent en rien.. une belle expèrience, n'hésitez pas..

We werden super vriendelijk geholpen door Hasna. Ze spreekt ook goed Engels! Ze verzorgde voor onze groep van 8 een busje voor naar de watervallen in ouzoud. Ook heeft ze transport geregeld voor ons naar Essaouira. Ik had haar telefoonnummer en kon haar hier altijd op bereiken.
