Things to see in Morocco: Essaouira

At the end of your holiday we strongly suggest you make time to spend a few days to explore the coastal town of Essaouira, a blend of Arabian and European influence. This beautifully preserved white-walled city believed to be a former pirate's lair. Take a stroll around the ramparts and see the old cannons facing out to sea, walk down to the harbour and watch the greedy seagulls flock around the fishing boats, take a walk and fly your kite along the sandy beach. Explore the myriad of streets and enjoy haggling for that perfect Moroccan memento.
