Tour description

Welcome to Essaouira, a charming coastal city on Morocco's Atlantic coast.
My name is Ibtissam, and I am thrilled to be your guide for an unforgettable experience in this beautiful destination.

Essaouira is a city steeped in history and culture, with a rich heritage that reflects its diverse past. From the ancient Portuguese fortifications that line the seafront to the narrow, winding streets of the medina, Essaouira has a unique character that is all its own.

As we explore this enchanting city, we will visit some of its most iconic landmarks, such as the Moulay Hassan Square and the bustling fishing port.
We'll also venture into the medina, where we'll wander through the maze of alleyways and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of the local markets.

One of Essaouira's most notable features is its stunning beach, which stretches for miles along the coast. Here, you can relax on the sand and soak up the sun, or try your hand at windsurfing or kiteboarding, which are popular activities in the area.

But Essaouira isn't just about sightseeing - it's also a city that is steeped in music and art. We'll explore some of the local art galleries and studios, where you can see the work of talented local artists, and we'll visit the city's annual Gnaoua Music Festival, which celebrates the traditional music of Morocco and attracts musicians from around the world.

With its beautiful architecture, rich culture, and relaxed vibe, Essaouira is a city that has something to offer everyone. I am excited to share my love and knowledge of this city with you and help you create unforgettable memories during your stay.

Leider ist der Guru nicht erschienen, daher war der Tag etwas zerrissen und wir haben die Stadt alleine erkundet. Schade.

The guide did not show up, nor did she respond to my messages. I encouraged a friend to take this tour instead of another one with a different guide... Now we've both been disappointed. Not good!
