Essaouira

Essaouira is one of my favorite places that I’ve ever been. A relaxing seaside town with plenty of sights and smells and a real bustling local culture. The medina is lovely and interesting without being overwhelming, and the locals are beyond friendly. I recommend Dar Afram if you’re looking for a good hostel to stay in! Great people, comfortable lodging in a beautiful riyad, and the best food I had in Morocco.

Wonderful place to eat fresh fish. Go and buy fish direct to the fisherman when they arrive to the harbour. They grill it for you right there.

was in 1979, the last time was 2005. I go here whenever I get a chance, a lovely place.

Great combination of arab and french culture. Chill out, surf , shop, explore – take your pick. Look out for the local art – it’s really interesting.
