Step 6/7: Morocco - Essaouira

About Essaouira

Wow! This seaside town is just gorgeous! I made the right decision of just dumping my initial plan and relaxing here for my last days of the trip. Lovely food, people and just a refreshing vibe all around. The medina is good enough for some decent shopping, the beach is great for watersports, and the seafood is great. A must stay even for a short holiday in Morocco. Easily done as a day trip from Marrakesh but so worth it to stay a few days.

How I got here ?

Price: 10 €

Traveling time: 4 hours

A reasonable short bus ride with a stop along the way. On the way, we stopped at an Argan production shop.

Perfect for windsports, football, and just relaxing. 4WD, camels and horses are available.

Scala du Port 0 /10

1 €

User's opinion
The sea wall fortifications of the town. The walls close to the fish port/harbour have an entrance fee but the ones in the NW corner don't.

Again not 17.73 EUR. Prices start at 4 EUR for a hammock. This hostel is the best hostel I've been to. Friendly staff and a very friendly atmosphere as well. Perfect for meeting fellow travelers.
