Tranquility and good temperature. Friendly people.

Very beautiful fishing town. Quiet people. The temperature is good and there is a breeze for lovers of the south. Small but quiet souk. You have to visit the fishing port.

Essaouira: a beautiful break from the chaos of Marrakech

Essaouira is definitely worth a visit. It is very different from the chaos, colors, and energy of Marrakech: the atmosphere is more relaxed and in July the weather is definitely cooler and more pleasant. Moreover, if chosen well, the fish is truly delicious! The shuttle was super punctual, and our guide, Youness, was fantastic. Despite having agreed on English, he managed to communicate with us even with a bit of Italian, which we greatly appreciated. He was prepared, available, and explained many interesting things about the culture, history, and much more of Morocco. The only downside was having little time available. I would absolutely recommend staying at least one night in Essaouira, because the round trip from Marrakech takes quite a bit of time, and the experience felt too short!

Incredible journey!

Amazing experience. First of all, the guide’s explanation, Yonis, was very enlightening and allowed us to know not only Essaouira’s history, but also a bit of Berbere history. In addition, the medina, where the souk was located, was beautiful, with a huge variety of products and experiences. Finally, the beach. This was undoubtedly the best part. Although the temperatures have risen, it was an amazing place to rest. I recommend it to everyone who desires a quiet experience, and who desires to know this amazing city.
