Where to stay in Essaouira

The Port of Essaouira is not only home to many fishing boats and vessels, it is a popular tourist attraction and has a significant and interesting history attached to it. Fishing is done for local distribution and plays a significant role in the atmosphere and lure to the port. The Essaouira port is not used for commercial traffic and this has enabled it to retain its authenticity and breathtaking charm.

The people are very peaceful, helpful and kind. The weather and the cuisine are  Especially for a New Yorker trying to escape winter! It’s also a beautiful destination that isn’t overrun by tourists in bikinis and flip flops 朗

Essaouira is my favorite city anywhere in the world. Anytime I visit Morocco I come here, and have made true friends. Just walking through the old town many of the shop owners and local merchants remember me and spot me before I spot them. Amazing
