We really enjoyed the flight to Essaouira. We were assigned to a larger coach at Jemal al Fnaa square at 8 a.m. and the driver explained the day's program. After about 2 hours of driving there was a 15 minute coffee stop at a "rest stop" and another stop at an argan oil women's cooperative. The women there were very nice and showed how argan oil is made. You could buy various products there afterwards, but you weren't pressured to do so. The stop lasted about 30 minutes, which was too long for us personally. We would have preferred to arrive in Essaouira a little earlier. Due to the stops, we weren't there until around 12 p.m. and then got a 1.5 hour city tour that was very informative. At the end you were taken to a restaurant where you could eat, but you didn't have to. You had free time from 1:30 p.m. until the bus left at 4 p.m., which went by far too quickly with time to eat. A great day with ocean view :)
