  • Two days to explore Essaouira's Atlantic coast
  • Surf lesson near Essaouira on Day 1
  • Discover the UNESCO-listed Medina and fishing port
  • Sleep overnight by the coast
  • Surf at Sidi Kaouki on Day 2
  • Return transfer to Marrakech included

Turn the Marrakech–Essaouira drive into a proper overnight coast experience rather than a fast day trip. On Day 1, transfer from Marrakech to Essaouira, take a coached surf session at a suitable beach and explore the historic Medina and harbour. Stay overnight in Essaouira. On Day 2, visit Sidi Kaouki for a second session tailored to tide and ability, then travel back to Marrakech. This product is fundamentally different from the existing one-day Marrakech–Essaouira sightseeing Tour: its central value is two surf lessons plus accommodation.
