Nouhaila

Located in North Africa, Morocco presents a fusion of diverse cultures, historic architecture, and stunning landscape views. This vibrant country is known for its intricacies, from the bustling spice markets in Marrakech to the breathtaking heights of the Atlas Mountains. The often-visited Sahara Desert offers golden dunes and unforgettable starry nights, while coastal cities like Casablanca and Essaouira boast of beautiful beaches and fresh seafood. Morocco's cultural heritage is deeply rooted in Berber, Arab, French and Andalusian traditions, seen in its cuisine, music, and the famous blue city of Chefchaouen. With unique places to explore such as the UNESCO-listed ancient city of Fez, Morocco guarantees an exceptional travel experience to all.

Morocco

Essaouira is a stunningly beautiful port city and resort on Morocco's Atlantic coast. Known for its unique blend of Portuguese, French and Berber architecture, its well-preserved 18th-century medina (Old Town) is a UNESCO World Heritage site, filled with small arts and crafts businesses. Essaouira is also renowned for its fishing harbor, offering fresh seafood served right off the boat. The city's windswept sandy beaches make it a hotspot for wind and kite surfers. With its blend of cultural influences, historic sites, traditional markets, and vibrant music scene, including the annual Gnaoua World Music Festival, Essaouira is an irresistible lure for those seeking an authentic Moroccan experience.

Essaouira

Essaouira was an amazing experience! Great food and great people! I enjoyed it a lot. I recommend buying oysters and seafood at the port area. Gnawa music is a must, as well as horseback riding on the beach.

Essaouira is an amazing destination for solo travellers, especially during the gnaoua festival. It's a magical city that brings a lot of peace. My travel there was a spiritual experience and it helped me become a better person and get to know new people.
