Plan Your Trip
Sidi Kaouki Day Trip from Essaouira
Sidi Kaouki is only about 30 minutes from Essaouira, so it is easy to visit in a day. Here is a simple plan.
Getting There and Back
Take a grand taxi, the local bus or drive. If you use a taxi, arrange a pickup time for the return, and do not pay for it in advance. If you take the bus, check the time of the last bus back. Full details in how to get there.
A Simple Plan
- MorningArrive and walk along the beach to the marabout. Mornings are often calmer, so this is also a good time for a surf lesson.
- MiddayLunch at a café near the beach. Try a tagine or grilled fish.
- AfternoonDo an activity: a horse or camel ride, a quad tour, or watch the kitesurfers when the wind picks up.
- SunsetStay for the sunset over the sea, then head back to Essaouira.
