This coastal resort is a 'must see'! Sharaf was a good guide, providing a helpful overview of what to see whilst there.

Badr and Ismail was such an awesome company to Essouria. I appreciate their ability to articulate the history of The Kingdom of Morocco together with it's dynamics.

5This excursion was a nice...
This excursion was a nice change of scenery, and temperature. The sea-side souks offered a different variety than the Medina in Marrakesh and we had a lovely beachside meal. Adil was a safe and timely driver/host. He was communicative and gave positive recommendations on how to spend our time in Essaouira.

About Marrakech
At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.
Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.
Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
