Essaouira is situated at about 170 km outside of the city of Marrakech, on the Atlantic Coast of Morocco.

Essaouira is a small coastal town that has an old, historic city centre otherwise known as the medina, that has been declared a patrimony to humanity by UNESCO. The medina is surrounded by pretty walls that protect the city from the winds and the sea's fury.

The medina of Essaouira, although smaller than that of Marrakech, can offer you a variety in its market, everything from arts and crafts to silver products.

Another important place in this town is the marina, where you will se a large number of fishing boats, all painted the traditional blue color. Close to the marina, you will be able to enjoy meals of fresh fish just caught at fantastic prices.
