Essaouira

A historic street in the medina of Essaouira, Morocco

Positioned on Morocco's windswept Atlantic coast, the laidback town of Essaouira feels a world away from the chaotic energy of nearby Marrakech and is one of my favourite places to visit in the country. Within the whitewashed walls of this former Portuguese trading hub, you can get lost in the labyrinthine medina or simply sip mint tea while soaking up the chilled-out vibe.

In this collection of articles, discover everything you need to know about visiting Essaouira, including the best things to see and do, incredible places to stay and inspiring tours and day trips.
