The ride was really fast and visit to Argan oil factory was lovely. The Essaouira itself is a must-visit while in Marrakesh. Cannot say less that Abdul Abdul recommended nice places to visit and to dine in, was really helpful through the trip.

Youness is such a nice and uplifting guide! He made the effort to ensure we were well at all times, and was kind enough to always try to speak in everyones language. He explained a little of pretty much everything, from the argan fruit to Essaouira’s history. Recomend!
