This is a thrilling day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira, a beautiful coastal city. Essaouira is located on the Atlantic coast of Morocco and has a lovely medina which is surrounded by 18th century sea walls called Skala de la Kasbah. These walls, constructed by European architects, overlook the sea, and hold old brass cannons. The crescent beach of Essaouira is suitable for various water activities as it has the steady trade winds ‘Alizée’ which make the place ideal for surfers, windsurfers, and kitesurfers. The Medina of Essaouira, which was named ‘Mogador’ before, is a fort like town which was built during the 18th century in North Africa where it came under the influence of European settlers. While you walk around, be mindful of things such as the poor state of large wall remnants and the regular breach of laws prohibiting entry of mopeds and other such vehicles within the Medina.
