Luis Mendoza, 25 Aug 2025

Essaouira is a laid-back coastal gem on Morocco’s Atlantic shoreline, blending history, culture, and seaside charm. Its UNESCO-listed Medina is a maze of narrow alleys filled with artisan shops, colorful souks, and art galleries, while the city’s ramparts and iconic Skala de la Ville offer stunning ocean views. Known as the “Wind City of Africa,” Essaouira is a hotspot for windsurfing and kitesurfing, as well as camel or horseback rides along its long sandy beach. Visitors also enjoy the bustling fishing port, fresh seafood, and the famous Gnaoua World Music Festival that draws artists and travelers from across the globe. The nearest airport is Essaouira-Mogador Airport (ESU), just 17 km away (about 25 minutes by car). For international travelers, Agadir Al-Massira Airport (AGA) is another option, located approximately 190 km from Essaouira, with a driving time of around 3 hours.
