Essaouira Holidays


africa
Essaouira holidays offer the chance to explore this delightful Mediterranean-like port town and beautiful stretch of windswept beach.

Explore the narrow lanes of the medina, filled with art galleries, boutiques and cafés, or head to the bustling harbour to see the local fishermen bringing in the day’s catch. Home to a plethora of exquisite restaurants, a holiday to Essaouira would not be complete without sampling some delicious fresh seafood!

Situated on the Atlantic coast, Essaouira is also a great choice for a Morocco beach holiday and is widely considered to be one of the country’s best beach resorts. Essaouira’s long sandy beach and abundant sunshine has attracted tourists for many years, and its windy conditions means it’s a popular choice for kite and windsurfers.

Trailfinders offers a range of Essaouira holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Morocco on a multi centre holiday, a short beach break or a sociable guided group tour – they are the perfect people to ask.
