Having travelled in Morocco over fifteen years this is my favourite place ever since I visited on a day trip from Marrakesh and we have been back several times since then. It is more open and relaxed than Marrakesh with a long beach and fishing port. There are some beautiful restaurants and places to stay and plenty of activities on... More

The museum in Essaouira is well worth a visit. There is the archeological section, dating the history and then further sections on clothing, music, weapons of war, thuya, wood painting, jewellry and more.

I had a truly wonderful first time visit to Marrakech December 2012, also went on a day trip to Essauira resort which was equally wonderful but a more laid back area. Highly recommended place to visit even just as a day trip. I would recommend eating at Triskala Cafe, look it up on Tripadvisor - the best food we had... More

This place has earned such a following that Orson Welles filmed Othello here in 1949. Spend the morning touring the fishing port, medina and artistic complex. In the afternoon... More

To the resort it is very interesting through the Atlas Mountains, there are many twists and turns in the the road as it climbs. The reort its self is very flat but in... More

This town has a laid back vibe your hassled much less than Marrakech so free to browse the many quaint shops and meander through the lanes and alleyways. The people are friendly, very westernised and helpful. La Scala (the fortified ramparts ) are breath-taking literally as the sea crashes against the rocks and the warm wind never leaves. Lots of...
