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 was excellent! I travelled with my partner, so I felt more safe than I would if I travelled alone. There is quite some people trying to sell you things, but they remain respectful. 
The food is amaaazing, I haven’t had anything that was mid or bad. 
If you want to learn how to surf, there is an amazing spot for beginners just a 5 minute car ride from centre of Essaouira, next to Ocean Vagabond, I recommend it!
Overall very nice and relaxing experience!
