Tour Locations: Essaouira

This pretty town resting along the Atlantic coast of Essaouira Morocco renders the prideful setting for one of the best restored 18th-century medinas in the world—a UNESCO World Heritage site. Add to all of this an ocean and a working fishing port; its seafront should not be missed, as viewed from the historic ramparts, the Skala de la Ville. For culturally interested tourists, the city offers a lively art scene in celebration of its rich cultural heritage, with an annual Gnaoua World Music Festival. Culturally, it is favored by those interested, while for those seeking a relaxed beach holiday, the atmosphere of the city, its amusing streets, and scenic beaches are paramount.
