Other places in Essaouira
Review by Laura from Edinburgh
Really loved Essaouira and it was our favourite place in Morocco. Large enough to be bustling and vibrant but small enough to wander safely amid the friendly but not intrusive locals. The beach was quiet and lovely and although it's known for being windy it's not always the case and it's lovely to sunbathe on. Restaurants are varied, but it's not a big place for nightlife. There aren't a great many items of cultural note other than the actual town itself (the walls are a UNESCO World Heritage site)but the charm of Essaouira is more than that - it's in the working harbour, the souks, the beach, the people.
