Essaouira

Between Agair and Essaouira, two cities on the Atlantic coast, the one with the most charm is Essaouira, with its white medina and small fishing port. Choose between the Villa Anouk or Jardin des Douars hotels, then line up for Adwak’s couscous and Driss’ cornes de gazelle. The most beautiful view of Essaouira can be seen from the Heure Bleue rooftop, and you can also enjoy the view from the Azur Spa after a traditional rhassoul scrub. In the medina, you will find hand-painted plates (some more artisanal than others), as well as objects in thuya wood, which is endemic to this region. Further South, Agadir and Dakhla will please any kite and surfing enthusiasts.
