Essaouira is situated on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, due west of Marrakesh. Essaouira is a charming walled city of great character which was once a Portuguese colony and is now a UNESCO World heritage site. It was commissioned by the Sultan of the day to be rebuilt in 1760 by a French architect as a trading port with the intention being to rival Agadir as the main trading port in the region, due to its easy access to Marrakech. European embassies were installed in grand Riads, many of which can be seen today. Essaouira is unusual in that the streets form a grid pattern.

The souk is a feast for the senses, mounds of aromatic spices alongside mountains of olives, meat and fresh vegetables. Fresh fish is unloaded from the boats in the port and sold right there or in the fish market in the centre. Fish stalls close to the port invite you to choose your fish and have it cooked and served at long tables.

On the Atlantic coast, it can be windy in Summer, from April to October making it ideal for wind and kite surfing. The weather is not normally over-hot and is generally mild in winter, though evenings can be cool.

ABOUT THE AREA

Essaouira is a port city and resort on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Its medina (old town) is protected by 18th-century seafront ramparts called the Skala de la Kasbah, which were designed by European engineers. Old brass cannons line the walls, and there are ocean views. Strong 'Alizée' trade winds make the city’s crescent beach popular for surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing.

It is the coastal wind – the beautifully named alizee, or taros in Berber – that has allowed Essaouira (essa-weera, or es-sweera in Arabic) to retain its traditional culture and character. For most of the year, the wind blows so hard here that relaxing on the beach is impossible, meaning that the town is bypassed by the hordes of beach tourists who descend on other Atlantic Coast destinations in summer. Known as the ‘Wind City of Africa’, it attracts plenty of windsurfers between April and November, but the majority of visitors come here in spring and autumn to wander through the spice-scented lanes and palm-lined avenues of the fortified medina, browse the many art galleries and boutiques, relax in some of the country’s best hotels and watch fishing nets being mended and traditional boats being constructed in the hugely atmospheric port.

Essaouira lies on the crossroads between two tribes: the Arab Chiadma to the north and the Haha Berbers in the south. Add to that the Gnawa, who came originally from further south in Africa, and the Europeans, and you get a rich cultural mix.

The weather in Essaouira is never as hot as Marrakech.
Located on the Atlantic coast, there are warm sea breezes during the day. It can be more windy between April and October.
It can get cooler at night, for this reason we recommend bringing a warmer layer with you.
