Day 6
Exploring Essaouira
A walk through the Medina
Today we’ll take a walk through the historic heart of Essaouira — one of the most European-feeling towns among Morocco’s ancient settlements.
Immerse yourself in the Medina’s charm
We’ll begin by wandering the narrow streets lined with colorful market stalls and artisan shops. You’ll find handmade crafts, traditional Moroccan goods, and unique souvenirs to take home.
City walls & fortress history
Next, we’ll head up to the ancient ramparts of Mogador, the city’s old fortress built by the French on the site of a 16th-century Portuguese stronghold.
This very location was featured in Game of Thrones — it’s where Daenerys Targaryen acquired her army of the Unsullied in Season 3.
Once a thriving port for maritime trade and a hub for desert caravans, Mogador also served as a hideout for sea pirates in centuries past.
Essaouira’s iconic port
We’ll then visit the city’s vibrant fishing port, where fresh seafood is sold daily straight from the boats.
Here you’ll have the chance to taste delicacies like fresh oysters or sea urchins — often for just €1 apiece.
Next to the port, cozy seaside restaurants offer to grill your seafood on the spot, just the way you like it.
Souk shopping & dinner
After a bit of shopping at the souk, we’ll wrap up the day with dinner at one of Essaouira’s most atmospheric local restaurants.

Farewell, Morocco
Final morning in the Medina
We’ll begin our last day with breakfast in the heart of the Medina, surrounded by its winding alleys and colorful atmosphere.
After breakfast, we’ll take one final walk to the ocean, where we’ll gather as a group for a small symbolic ritual: tossing a coin into the waves — a wish to return here someday.
Goodbyes & journey to the airport
In the early afternoon, we’ll pack our bags and load into the minibus for the road back to Casablanca.
We’ll see you off at the airport, filled with a mix of emotions — joy from being part of an unforgettable adventure, and a hint of sadness that it’s come to an end.
Your phone will be full of memories, your heart full of stories — and we hope this is only the beginning of many more journeys to come.
