Essaouira’s historic heart, perfectly preserved and encircled by ramparts, is renowned for its narrow alleys flanked by white-washed structures with vibrant doors. Tourists have plenty to keep them entertained, from numerous boutiques and coffee houses to eateries and an array of art galleries and museums.

The fishing harbor of the town is yet another notable sight, providing the chance to witness incoming boats laden with the daily catch, observing fishermen tending their nets, and tasting the most freshly-caught seafood.

In addition, Essaouira offers a variety of recreation such as basking on the town’s beaches, indulging in a camel safari, or leisurely walking along the coastal walkway to take in the panoramic views of the sea.
To get a taste of an alternative Morocco, away from Marrakech’s hectic vibe, a trip to Essaouira comes highly suggested. To ensure comfort and efficiency, travel by private vehicle or as part of a tour group.
