Location
Essaouira, known as “the windy city” and by its ancient Portuguese name Mogador, is located on the Western Moroccan coast, on the Atlantic Sea. Agriculture, arts and crafts, and tourism are the main activities of the city, which offer beautiful treasures to be discovered by travellers, added to a sunny and pleasant climate.
You’ll find everything you need for the greatest vacation in and around Essaouira. You can go 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 also remains one of the major fishing harbors of Morocco. Take a moment in the morning to stroll within the harbor, having a look at the catches of the day and to the fishing boats freshly returned from sailing.
Have some 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, extending from the harbor to the river, Oued Ksob. Around Essaouira, you’ll find kilometers of other sandy and deserted beaches, a wonderful playground for water or land activities.
Famous for its windy conditions, Essaouira and the region are the perfect place to practice kitesurfing, windsurfing, or surfing. Going from here to there within the countryside, you’ll also find fields of argan trees as far as the eye can see. Don’t hesitate to open one of the argan cooperative doors.

Essaouira ramparts 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 six 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.
