In the surrounding areas of Marrakech and the centre of the country, the nature is absolutely spectacular. Sportsmen and adventurers have the opportunity to really enjoy roaming these beautiful landscapes by foot!

Walks in the centre of Morocco

If there is a place that sums up the incredible diversity and richness of the beautiful country of Morocco, it is certainly the countless markets called souks.  You will dive into the unforgettable atmosphere and you will find everything imaginable and more.

Morocco's incredible souks

Today, Morocco has a worldwide reputation for its numerous cultural and principally musical festivals. It's a great occasion to discover the artistic riches of the country during a trip to Morocco.

Morocco is world famous for its imperial cities. Every day, tourists from the four corners of the earth tour round the incredible palaces and gardens in these unique places. A breath taking visit in the heart of Morocco's history.

Morocco's superb imperial cities

It's without doubt the most touristy town in Morocco, thanks to its amazing souk and the immense Jema El Fna Square.

Salaam alaikoum! When we think of Morocco, it is the buzzing and colourful souks, filled with the scent of exotic spices that spring to mind. We conjure up images of magnificent palaces, lush gardens and white, sandy beaches that stretch far into the horizon. But there is more to Morocco; a depth that goes beyond its beauty and colour. There is its soul, a heart that beats not only in the bazaars but also across its lands, all there for you to discover as you immerse yourself in the daily lives of its people. By meeting these people and by enjoying their hospitality during your stay, you will see Morocco and its inhabitants unveil the hidden treasures that lie at the core of their culture. From its four royal cities to the misty ramparts of Essaouira, from hiking and trekking across the countryside (be it in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains or on a camel’s back in the Sahara), wonders await you, no matter what your choice of holiday may be.

I made the most of the opportunity to eat a good fish! The town is famous for its fish and seafood. It must be said that the local economy depends on fishing even more. A little word of advice, if you want to get to know Essaouri without the hordes of tourists, it's good to go there in winter. It's true that the climate is not as mild, however, you will be able to experience Essaouira with a touch of authenticity. Essaouira was one of the first towns that I knew of apart from the big centres of Casablanca and Rabat. What I particularly liked about the town, was that it still has an authentic side: the donkeys which are everywhere in the narrow streets of the market, the port teeming with life, the colourful stalls of the spice markets, the chant of the muezzin calling people to pray, at this moment of my visit to Morocco, everything was new to me.

Essaouira is a port town where the blue sea is honoured. A good way to come into contact with the Moroccan culture without losing your bearings too much.

There are places which leave a permanent mark on your heart and soul. For me, Essaouira is one of these. I recommend it to all travellers during <a href="/morocco/">a trip to Morocco</a>. Essaouira is a fortified town facing the Ocean. Its magnificent medina is listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site. What a pleasure it is to lose oneself in the narrow winding streets, with their noises, colours and smells!
Many foreigners have settled in Essaouira, having fallen under the spell of this enchanting town where time stands still. In the summer it attracts many tourists as it is one of the coolest and most pleasant in the country.
For those who enjoy surfing and kitesurfing huge waves sweep over the long beaches surrounding Essaouira
