The Wind City of Africa

What to see in Essaouira

Essaouira medina and ramparts — Casablanca to Essaouira private day trip
Essaouira — the white-walled Atlantic medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site

Essaouira is one of Morocco’s most relaxed and photogenic towns — a whitewashed, blue-shuttered medina (UNESCO World Heritage) wrapped in 18th-century sea ramparts. Wander the Skala de la Ville and its row of bronze cannons, watch the blue fishing boats come in at the port, browse the argan-oil and thuya-wood workshops, and feel the Atlantic breeze that gives Essaouira its nickname, the “Wind City of Africa.”

It’s a favourite for couples, families and photographers: wide sandy beaches and windsurfing, the summer Gnaoua music festival, fresh grilled fish on the quay, and famous film backdrops (it stood in for Astapor in Game of Thrones). An easy, breezy escape from the city — and an ideal day trip or first stop on an Atlantic-coast tour.

Why choose a private transfer to Essaouira?

There’s no train to Essaouira, and shared buses run on fixed times to the station rather than your door. A private transfer is a single, direct door-to-door drive on your schedule, with room for luggage, comfort stops and the freedom to leave when you want. It’s the most comfortable option for families, couples and anyone arriving at CMN with bags — and the same trusted service, rated 5.0★ across 66 Google reviews, that we provide for our airport transfers.
