Frequently asked questions

How much free time do we get?

Typically 4-5 hours, enough for the ramparts, port, lunch and unhurried shopping.

Is Essaouira windy?

Famously, it's Morocco's wind-sports capital. Pack a light layer even in summer; the breeze is the charm.

Grilled sardines and the catch of the day at the port stalls, or sit-down seafood in the medina. Your driver points you right.
