ESSAOUIRA

A fascinating former Portuguese fishing port - Located 176 Km west of Marrakech on a fine sandy bay, Essaouira makes for a welcome break on Morocco's Atlantic coastline. Shallow, clean water makes it an ideal spot for families and in the summer is much used by windsurfers. Today, standing on the impressive battlements looking out over the line of cannon and on out to sea it is impossible not to think of the history this town has seen and the daily adventures of the local fishing boat crews. If you want to experience Morocco's many faces then you should not miss Essaouira - great as a combination with Marrakech

The medina is enclosed by 5 main gates and is the town’s main attraction - In all a charming town of amiable people offering endless enjoyment.
