Essaouira

Essaouira is a port and tourist city located on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. On the seafront, its medina (old town) is protected by 18th-century ramparts, called the Skala de la Kasbah and designed by European engineers. Dotted with old copper cannons, the fortifications offer views of the ocean. With their powerful trade winds, the city’s beaches are ideal for surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing.
