Ramparts, trade winds & bohemian vibe
UNESCO-listed fortified medina, blue fishing port and beaches swept by the trade winds — Essaouira is a favourite. A car takes you to Sidi Kaouki and the argan forest.

White-and-blue ramparts, art galleries, thuya wood workshops.
Blue fishing port
Painted boats, sunrise return of the fishermen, grilled sardines on the quay.
Kitesurf & windsurf
Steady trade winds and a long sandy beach — one of Morocco's top spots.
Gnaoua Festival
Bohemian vibe year-round, Gnaoua music in the alleys and a big festival in June.
