Advantages: beautiful beawch, laid back, the medina Disadvantages: not enough there for a week,
...hour journey from Marrakesh to Essaouira is by Supertours,coaches- the Moroccan equivalent of our National Express. There are approximately four coaches a day to and from Marrakesh to Essaouira. We took the first one leaving Marrakesh at 8 15 in the morning and boarded the last coach back at 6 pm from Essaouira. This gave us seven hours in Essaouira, which is more than enough time to explore and appreciate this delightful little town. The cost of ... ...medieval streets of Marrakesh, as Essaouira was created in the 18th century by King Mohamed III, I actually prefer Essaouira's old town to Marrakesh's one. I think this is because I feel a lot safer and we got a lot less hassle in Essaouira. even though I was only wearing a knee length dress and cardigan (unlike in Marrakesh where I was wearing ankle length skirts). I enjoyed watching kids playing oblivious to us rather than trying to be ammeter ...

As a young blonde white girl I had grown used to being hassled in the street, it's part of Morocco's charm, but if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of places like Fez and Marrakesh, Essouira ... ...a small white-washed chilled out market town on Morocco's West coast. It's definately a tourist town, but somehow it doesn't feel that way. In contrast to the built up concrete tourist trap that is Agadir, staying in Essouira will give you a taste of the real Morocco. Cafe culture is strong and the ancient walls and the fortress overlooking the sea make Essouira a pitturesque place to sit and drink mint tea in the afternoon sun. There is a very long ...

ESSAOUIRA. If package tourists go to Agadir, independent travellers come here. They should not be blamed since the beaches stretches for miles and are generally clean. The only problem is that quite often the winds blows strongly. This is good for windsurfers, but not for sun worshippers or bathers! If you get bored of the beach, there are a couple of forts (skalas) to visit. There are also art galleries, since quite a few European artists decided ...
