Overview

A gently glowing sapphire gem on the Atlantic coast, Essaouira perches delicately as a weave of old peeling streets and ancient cultures next to the expanse of flat, wet sand running down to the sea.

Deliciously slow, achingly trendy and with delightful boutiques, galleries and local cafes dotted throughout the maze of creeping lanes and ancient staircases, there are countless hidden gems to be discovered between the beautifully preserved medina and the old, bustling port.

It also provides a wealth of incredible holiday experiences that any traveller can add to their holiday itinerary. Curious minds can explore that streets and medinas with their lens, under the watchful eye of a local photographer. And the more adventurous traveller can learn to surf the Atlantic coast’s awesome waves or discover the local beaches on horseback.

    Our Favourite Experiences in Essaouira

    Medina of Mogador – The Medina of Essaouira, formerly known as Mogador is one of the most iconic you can find in Morocco. The winding, maze-like alleys make for an exciting and enriching cultural experience. Our local guide will show you around, giving your tips and pointing out some of the historical sites you can see along the way.

    Stay in a Riad in Essaouira – On our trip to Essaouira includes a stay in one of the iconic riads. A riad is basically a home with a courtyard and pool at the centre – they are traditional to Morocco and therefore an important cultural experience for anyone visiting the area.

    Jimi Hendrix’s home – We like to make sure that our holidays have something different, and what could be more unique than a visit to famous guitarist Jimi Hendrix’s old home. Your tour guide will show you around the place and you can get some nice pictures to make your friends jealous.
