Essaouira City Bike Tours

Discover Essaouira by bike. The city is a must see !

You are in Marrakech and you want to do a day trip to Essaouira ? It is the right decision. After few days in Marrakech, it is nice to enjoy the quiet of Essaouira. It is located only 2h 30 min drive from Marrakech and it is on the Atlantic coast. The city is a must see in Morocco. It is a popular holiday destination for surfers and beach lovers. 

Once we arrive, we will take our bikes and cycle quietly in the shade of its ramparts, the very ones that draw the contours of Astapor, the red city of the "Game of Thrones" series. We ride our bikes where we can see the Purpuraires Islands, falcons, and gulls hovering above this nature reserve. On the other side, surfers, windsurfers and kitesurfers are taming the waves, taking advantage from the wind.

Our cycling tour will lead us to the fishing port where the sailors are active. Get to the fish market where to taste the fish and seafood caught during the night. In the centre of the city, the medina invites you on a discovery wander into its winding alley. Here, you will find the blue and white houses with children running around, colourful stalls filled with all kinds of souvenirs (including clutches, key rings, and slippers), musicians and so much more.

Cyling further into the medina will lead you to the ramparts, where we can enjoy the breeze with a view over the Atlantic, hearing the waves crashing on the walls and taking extraordinary photos.
