Location

Essaouira, “the windy city” – also known by its ancient Portuguese name Mogador - is located in the Western Moroccan coast, on the Atlantic sea. Agriculture, arts and crafts, fishing, and tourism are the main activities of the city, which offer beautiful treasures to be discovered for travellers, added to a sunny and pleasant climate. You’ll find everything you need for the greatest vacation in and around Essaouira.

Come and visit the beautiful Medina of Essaouira, a UNESCO World Heritage Listed city since 2001, as an example of a late 18th century fortified town. Beyond its arts and crafts activities, such as the thuya wood-carving, and its cultural and music treasures, Essaouira remains one of the major fishing harbours of Morocco.

Take a moment in the morning to stroll within the harbour, having a look to the catches of the day and to the fishing boats freshly returned from sailing. Have a mint tea in one of the cafés of the Moulay Hassan main place, then go for a walk into the back streets of the ancient city, enjoying the small businesses of all kinds, handy crafts, souks, and cafés.

Outside the Medina, you’ll be happily hit by its large sandy beach, extended from the harbour to the river, Oued Ksob. Around Essaouira, you’ll find kilometres of other sandy and deserted beaches, a wonderful playground for water or land activities. Famous for its windy conditions, Essaouira and its region are the perfect place to practice kitesurfing, windsurfing or surfing. Going from here to there within the countryside, you’ll also find, as far as the eye can see, fields of argan trees, don’t hesitate to open one of the argan cooperative doors.

Essaouira amparts and port

Essaouira’s medina is walled like many old towns in Morocco and the ramparts are quite impressive as they’re built on the cliffs. Locals and visitors alike enjoy strolling along the ramparts as the sun sets. The port is a busy port filled with fishing boats. A large fish auction is held every Saturday but watching the daily catch being sold every afternoon to restaurants around the harbor area, is fun to experience as well.

Beaches

Essaouira is on the Atlantic coast and the water is pretty cold. Fun for surfing, windsurfing, or kitesurfing. The beach is also nice for a stroll and since it runs for about 6 miles (10 kilometers) there’s plenty of it. Locals use the beach to play soccer and other sports as well as paddling in the summer.

Gnaoua festival

The Gnaoua World Music Festival is held for three days, every June, and is Essaouira’s biggest annual event. The Gnaoua people are descendants of slaves originating from Black Africa who established brotherhoods throughout Morocco. They are made up of master musicians (maalem), metal castanet players, clairvoyants, mediums, and their followers. This festival showcases their talents as well as that of international musicians who have embraced this form of music and mysticism. Hotels should be booked well in advance of the festival.
