A one day excursion to Essaouira city is totally worth the try and definitely not to be missed when visiting Morocco. Depart Marrakech and head to Essaouira, the lovely and charming blue seaside fishing town which settles about two and a half hours from Marrakech. It is located on the Atlantic Coast, characterized by a year-round mildness climate with a huge golden beach which is famous with windsurfers, and also known by its artistic hippie atmosphere and the multi-confessional tradition.
Additionally, it is popular for its fresh grilled delicious seafood, thuja wood crafts and its artists. It is a walled medina that Old Portuguese ramparts guard.
Take a moment and witness the way the silver craftsmen and wood carvers work on their masterpieces in their stores. You can also lean about the organic medicines and cures while visiting the traditional pharmacies.
