Is it long enough?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two days in Essaouira allows you to see the essentials: the port, the medina, the ramparts, the beach and to immerse yourself in the city&#8217;s very special atmosphere. You can already see a lot, explore the main attractions and enjoy the atmosphere.

Equipped with comfortable shoes, you&#8217;ll have no trouble walking the cobblestones of the old town. You can also walk along the Grand Plage promenade for almost 2km. Outside the medina, cabs are available at reasonable prices. We advise you to ask for the fare before getting in, or to activate the meter to avoid unpleasant surprises. Bikes, buggies, motorcycles and scooters are also available for hire along the corniche.

Along the coast and beach, hotels and lodges offer modern comfort. Inland, beautiful, quiet hotels offer views over the countryside.

The fish market is a typical place where you can watch the daily return of the catch. Small stalls sell freshly caught local species. We were charmed by the authentic, local atmosphere. It&#8217;s best in the morning, when the fishermen unload their catch to the cries of the gulls.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Port\/i-kxCjtsg\/0\/KsMwcWfw5rG4LPmhMNjSgPvz7XpgJ3tN7DQJpHKGc\/L\/essaouira-morocco-fishmarket-stands-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Day 1 - 10:30am-11am: Visit the Sqala du Port\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#fefefe;margin-top:6%;margin-bottom:6%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\">A LITTLE MORE PATIENCE<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">All the photos, maps, information and addresses you need to make your stay at Maroc a success will soon be available in a single ebook!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Coming soon!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container ebook-radius-waitlist gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\"><div class=\"wp-block-image ebook-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ebooks_CorseNormandie_FR.png\" alt=\"Box Ebook Corsica FR\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 &#8211; 10:30am-11am: Visit the Port Sqala<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overlooking the port, the Sqala du Port is an imposing fortification built in the 18th century by French architect Th\u00e9odore Cornut to protect the city from sea invasions. Its walls bear witness to Essaouira&#8217;s military past, and its fortified architecture is reminiscent of that of Saint-Malo in Brittany. Admission is charged (60DH), but gives access to the terrace, from which we enjoyed the panoramic view over the port, the beach and the medina. It&#8217;s also an ideal spot for taking great photos of the ocean. Sqala has also been used as a backdrop for several film productions, including the famous Game of Thrones series.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Port\/i-Bnt762r\/0\/KNPxh7t3cNM5pgVvkHKVJ36t6PTq5RJ6xWnRHgQFK\/L\/essaouira-morocco-06-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Day 1 - 11am-12pm: Walk along the ramparts to the Kasbah Sqala\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 &#8211; 11h-12h: Walk along the ramparts to the Kasbah Sqala<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pass Place Moulay El Hassan and enter the city walls. Walk along the wall and up to the Kasbah. Along the way, stop off at one of the stalls at the foot of the ramparts, featuring marquetry, ceramics and traditional clothing. The Sqala de la Kasbah is Essaouira&#8217;s northern defensive platform. A battery of bronze cannons line the battlements, facing the Atlantic. We enjoyed the view from this part of the fortifications, which is freely accessible.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Sqala-de-la-Kasbah\/i-wrjdCr9\/0\/MJ74C8PfVjrV2KGJ8FzvPHvH7gLtrRFxPggfXcXWN\/L\/essaouira-morocco-sqala-kasbah-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Day 1 - 12pm-2pm: Tasting Moroccan cuisine on a rooftop\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 &#8211; 12pm-2pm: Taste Moroccan cuisine on a rooftop<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essaouira&#8217;s cuisine is all about the sea, offering Moroccan-style fish and seafood specialties. What could be better than tasting this while admiring the ocean? We did just that on the rooftop of Restaurant Salut Morocco, and loved it. The city has many other great spots.

It&#8217;s home to the many stores that make up the city&#8217;s souk. The main thoroughfare is Avenue de l&#8217;Istiqlal, extended by Avenue Mohammed Zerktouni. Here we discovered all the facets of Moroccan craftsmanship: colorful ceramics, hand-woven tapestries, hammered metal objects, silver jewelry and pieces made from cedar wood, the region&#8217;s emblematic local species. If you like something, don&#8217;t hesitate to haggle, a time-honored tradition in Morocco. We spent long moments strolling past the stalls, attracted by the precision of the craftsmen&#8217;s gestures in their small workshops open to the street.     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Medina-souk\/i-x39w2nZ\/0\/KN9vTtFgM7Px8QMGN5qbRn5zHGS3jbFrGQBDqrW76\/L\/essaouira-morocco-medina-souk-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Day 1 - 4pm-5pm: Visit the Centre d'Art R&#xE9;al Mogador\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 &#8211; 4pm-5pm: Visit the Centre d&#8217;Art R\u00e9al Mogador<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the city&#8217;s most interesting galleries, in our opinion, is the Centre d&#8217;Art Le R\u00e9al Mogador. This brightly-colored riad has been transformed into a museum-gallery, and is owned by artist and art enthusiast Fran\u00e7ois Real. Admission is free, but if you want to take photos or visit the floors, you&#8217;ll have to pay a fee to respect the artists&#8217; copyrights. On the first floor, we contemplated works of art brut, while on the upper floors we discovered highly creative and colorful furniture. It&#8217;s a fine example of Essaouira&#8217;s artistic soul, and a welcome break from the usual tourist circuit. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Centre-Art-real-Mogador\/i-VRDtF3K\/1\/LmwB5fw4nM7LmnDJDr6qsnkMbt2XdswkdF3k2nSV5\/L\/essaouira-morocco-centre-art-real-mogador-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Day 1 - 5:00-6:30 pm: Stroll along the beach promenade\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 &#8211; 5pm-6:30pm: Stroll along the beach promenade<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy the palm-fringed promenade that runs for 2km along the beach. This pedestrian zone invites you to take a stroll. You can go for a walk or rent a bike, buggy or scooter to explore it.   We loved watching the people surfing and kite-surfing! In the distance, you&#8217;ll see Mogador Island, the former name of Essaouira.

Traditional or more modern cuisine, the choice is yours. You can also have lunch in the harbor, at the fish market: we particularly appreciated the friendly atmosphere of the little improvised restaurants at the foot of the fortifications, where tables are set up next to the stalls and you can taste the grilled fish straight away. A simple but tasty culinary experience!    In the medina, we also found a number of small restaurants worth trying.

We loved admiring it on the street, but also in the workshops and galleries scattered throughout the city. This artistic effervescence gives the town a unique character: painters, sculptors and musicians rub shoulders with artisans of cedar wood, metal and fabric. Take the time to talk with the artists, who, like those we met, will surely be delighted to tell you about their practice. Colorful canvases brighten up the streets around every corner. You&#8217;ll be amazed by the density of creativity that emanates from the medina. In our opinion, this spontaneous stroll is one of the most authentic experiences Essaouira has to offer.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Medina-souk\/i-BsgvspG\/0\/MGcwD4WqnkFdwHGDQ4WC5pmNXvFsPdr2VwLKdHk2v\/L\/essaouira-morocco-medina-souk-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Day 2 - 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm: Visit the Bayt Dakira Museum\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 2 &#8211; 4:30-5:30 pm: Visit the Bayt Dakira Museum<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bayt Dakira Museum is a small, free museum in Essaouira&#8217;s medina. It traces the city&#8217;s history, highlighting the long coexistence between the Jewish and Muslim communities that have shaped Essaouira over the centuries. The town, once known as Mogador, was an important trading center where Jewish, Muslim and European merchants lived side by side. We found this historical approach an interesting way of understanding Essaouira&#8217;s uniqueness within Morocco. Everyday objects, documents and period photographs illustrate this shared memory. The museum is open Sunday to Friday, 9.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m.     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Mus&#xE9;e-Bayt-Dakira\/i-Rnvkq7P\/0\/NGMs5NT65QtFHx55C4vW3CfGkdtTk9c9LbHpWTQHJ\/L\/IMG_9665-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Day 2 - 5:30-7pm: Enjoying the comfort of your riad or hotel\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 2 &#8211; 5:30-7pm: Enjoying the comfort of your riad or hotel<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After two busy days, why not take a break and enjoy the charm of your accommodation?

rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">surfing and kite-surfing<\/a>. The regular trade winds create ideal conditions for these sports. Numerous schools and specialized stores offer equipment rental and lessons for all levels. Essaouira&#8217;s surrounding area also boasts some excellent surf spots. The beach at Sidi Kaouki, 25km to the south, is particularly popular with kite-surfers and windsurfers, thanks to its constant trade winds. Further south, the village of Imsouane is a small surfing paradise, renowned for its long, steady waves. Diabat beach, accessible from the town along the coast, is appreciated for its calmness and dunes. We encourage you to explore these spots if you&#8217;re staying in the region for more than a day.       <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Plage\/i-wG4JFgX\/1\/MJstXMHJnmNBTCgp96NGJkXjc39CjJqrCckHLppbf\/L\/essaouira-morocco-beach-02-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Other sports activities\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other sports activities<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s much more to Essaouira than surfing. The 2km-long corniche along the beach makes an excellent jogging area by the sea, with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic. You can also hire electric bikes, buggies or motorcycles to ride along the coast or explore the surrounding area. Horse-riding and camel-riding on the beach are available for all levels. For thrill-seekers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/fr-fr\/essaouira-l877\/dunes-de-sable-d-essaouira-excursion-d-une-demi-journee-en-quad-t125555\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">quad-biking excursions in the dunes<\/a> are a great way to discover the coastline from a different angle. We also noticed sandboarding courses, where you can hurtle down the dunes on a board.

The Sidi Kaouki marabout, a white mausoleum visible from the beach, lends the area a singular atmosphere. Closer to town, the village of Diabat is also famous for having welcomed Jimi Hendrix in the 1970s. Its calm beaches and dunes make it a pleasant getaway. Even further south, Imsouane is a small surfing paradise, whose fishing village atmosphere contrasts with that of the nearby seaside resort of Agadir.     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Route\/i-6cPwK2d\/0\/NjmN8vzqDDBXsMBLMGC4ggFTQMVzZ7hrQjSCjWpKs\/L\/essaouira-morocco-on-the-road-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Discover the hinterland and an argan oil cooperative\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discover the hinterland and an argan oil cooperative<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the hinterland, we savored the colors of the landscape: ochre and red mountains with gentle cliffs stretching down to the sea, enhanced by the green of the argan tree. The region is home to this endemic tree of south-west Morocco, which grows nowhere else in the world. Venturing inland to visit a women&#8217;s argan oil production cooperative is an excursion we highly recommend. These collective structures, run exclusively by women, enable us to discover the artisanal stages of oil extraction: sorting the nuts, grinding with a stone millstone and pressing by hand. We were impressed by the precision of this work. You can also buy argan oil for cooking and cosmetics directly from the source, often at lower prices than in town. Some cooperatives are only a 15-minute drive from Essaouira.      <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Coop&#xE9;rative-argan\/i-9HB2Drg\/0\/KJdHJ82G5XDnwrCRGdtf624Gp923tgz2nCTVLh3dk\/L\/IMG_8941-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - What you need to know for your weekend in Essaouira\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know for your weekend in Essaouira<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The weather in Essaouira<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essaouira enjoys a constant breeze, earning it the nickname &#8220;City of Wind&#8221;. As soon as we arrived, we appreciated the salty trade winds from the ocean. The heat sets in from May onwards. Average summer temperatures fluctuate between 22\u00b0C and 26\u00b0C, with peaks of up to 30\u00b0C. In the off-season, temperatures remain pleasant, generally between 15\u00b0C and 20\u00b0C. In winter, the city is less crowded, allowing you to enjoy the medina and port in a quieter atmosphere. We particularly appreciate this season for the quality of the light and the tranquility of the alleyways.      <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Ville\/i-g9WZxtv\/1\/KpWqdZXpHgqDXnSsSBCsBWRJFzDm5mKsCkqDC26dm\/L\/essaouira-morocco-09-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - The weather in Essaouira\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crowds in Essaouira<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essaouira attracts many tourists, although not as many as Marrakech. The peak season is from June to September, when the city welcomes the most visitors. Despite this, the destination remains pleasant all year round. We went there in May and found it peaceful. The beach is so large that it&#8217;s not crowded. We advise you to book your accommodation in advance if you&#8217;re coming in high season. Outside this period, you&#8217;ll also be able to find last-minute offers at more advantageous prices.      <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Essaouira\/Ville\/i-kZXGW6x\/1\/MLxnKH4dWdFmfSp2dKB8bSMfwRd3rLXrZzbmtQtSK\/L\/essaouira-morocco-11-L.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira - Adapting your itinerary when it rains\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adapt your itinerary when it rains<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On rainy or windy days, there are several options. The Bayt Dakira Museum and the Centre d&#8217;Art R\u00e9al Mogador are good alternatives for a sheltered morning. The hammams in hotels and riads are also ideal on cooler days for a wellness break.
