Essaouira

Essaouira – The Windy City by the Sea

Located along Morocco’s Atlantic coast, Essaouira is a charming port city known for its laid-back vibe, sea breeze, and white-and-blue medina. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers a mix of history, art, and ocean views — all wrapped in a peaceful atmosphere.

Wander through the ancient Skala ramparts, stroll the narrow streets lined with local art and handicrafts, and watch the colorful fishing boats return to the harbor. Whether you’re enjoying fresh seafood, relaxing on the beach, or windsurfing in the waves, Essaouira is a refreshing escape from the hustle of the big cities.

It’s the perfect day trip from Marrakech for those seeking culture, coast, and calm.
