Spend a full day in Essaouira, the UNESCO-listed Portuguese-Moroccan port city made famous by its whitewashed medina, working fishing harbor, and laid-back arts scene. The drive up the coast includes a stop to (weather permitting) spot the region’s famous tree-climbing goats and a visit to an argan oil cooperative, before you arrive in Essaouira with several hours of free time to explore the ramparts, souks, and seafood stalls at your own pace. A long day, but one of the best-value excursions on the Atlantic coast.
