The fortress-port of Essaouira is located 173 km north of Agadir. The city is easy to recognize by dazzling white houses with bright blue windows. Essaouira (or the second variant of writing: Essueuyu) is first of all appreciated by windsurfing fans - for the highest wave on the coast and an easy constant breeze. But just bathers or lovers of sunbathing there will not be too comfortable - for the same reason.

Essaouira hotels
Within the city walls of hotels not so much. The best local hotel Villa Maroc occupies two 18th century mansions, one of which was once a brothel. There are also riad hotels located in old houses. They usually belong to Moroccan families who try to maintain a cozy home atmosphere in them. Outside the city walls the choice of hotels is richer, there is also a chic Sofitel and the institutions are simpler.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions in Es-Souweira
Almost untouched by the time the market of slaves, the former residence of the pasha, and now the museum of Sidi-Mohammed-bin-Abdallah (the treasury of local art). Along the street Sighine there are local craft shops. As an excursion, you can take a boat ride around the nearby Mogador Island, which is populated with gulls, and also reach the ruins of the Dar Sultan castle.
The city is located on the cape, so the winds from the Atlantic are particularly strong there. Surfers in Essaouira are waiting for a good wave and a tailwind in the back. There are two surf centers in Essaouira: Fanatic and Club Mistral, in both - a very large selection of equipment and their own restaurants. Equipment rental for 7 days will cost around 180 EUR. The most popular surfer beaches are Essaouira Bay, Sidi-Kauki, Cape Sim and Mulei-Busertun. There are international competitions in these sports.
