Discover the coastal medina of Essaouira
Leave the red clay of Marrakech behind and head to the blue and white coastal charm of Essaouira. Known as the "Windy City of Africa," it offers a refreshing Atlantic breeze and a laid-back bohemian vibe. You will walk along the historic ramparts of the Skala, where ancient cannons still point out to sea, guarding the city from pirates (or tourists).
The Medina here is a UNESCO World Heritage site, easier to navigate than Marrakech and full of art galleries and wood workshops. Watch the fishermen bring in the catch of the day at the busy port, surrounded by hundreds of hungry seagulls. You can choose your own fresh fish and have it grilled right there for lunch; it doesn’t get fresher than that.
It is also a pilgrimage site for fans of Jimi Hendrix and Game of Thrones, adding a layer of pop culture to its history. The atmosphere is so relaxed you might forget to check your watch all day. Come catch the breeze; book your day trip to Essaouira today!
