    riad nakhla is cheap and friendly and in a very good location. and i would say book in advanced as the touts are extremely annoying in essaouira. this is the website for the riad: www.riad-nakhla.com

    Hello, It is easy and cheap to hire a care in Essaouira, Just bring your full driving license. Car hire starts from 300Dh (£25) per day there is no mileage charge. You will find agencies around Moulay Hassan square and other places. Regarding accommodation I recommend you contact carmitch49@hotmail.com Carole has a delightful Riad in the Medina that can accommodate up to 10 people, you will find some photos on my Essaouira " Where to stay " page. Prices are from 600Eu for 6 persons per week. If you need anymore help, please ask Sue

    hi thanks for the tips - especially the touts I think we will book before we get there. I should have mentioned we want a place that is self catering so we can stay in for a couple of our nights this rules out the first tip. windycity - where do I find your 'where to stay page'
