Essaouira Travel Forum

Hi

We are having our honeymoon in Morroco in March. A week in Marakesh and then a week in Essaouira. Looking forward to it and we want to make the most of our trip.

Can anyone recommend any good day trips from either place?

We are staying at the Riad Dar Loulema - does anyone have an experience of this riad?

Thanks for your help - much appreciated!

Hello,
I am planning my honeymoon at the beg of Sept in Morocco. We are planning on doing 5 days ish in Essaouria and then onto Marrckech. I know their is a good breeeze on the coast but will this breeze make it to windy to relax on the beach if i dont want to do watersports. I wanted a few days at a beach resort to relax but dont want somewhere really windy that would prevent this?
Are there any rules on sunbathing because of the culture and religion - would i be able to wear a swimsuit on the beach?
Thanks, Emma

Hi

Could anyone tell me if September (2nd half of the month) would be a good time to visit? What would the weather be like? Good for beach chilling and water sports?

Is surfing the only activity that can be done here, or is there other stuff? Is there anything to see snorkelling or is the Atlantic too big and cold?!

thanks a lot

I am traveling with my mom for one week in November in Morocco. We have decided to do a loop that includes Casablanca to Marrakech to Essaouira back to Casablanca. We are planning to take the train from Casablanca to Marrakech. My question concerns transportation from Marrakech to Essaouira to Casablanca, as there are no rail links to Essaouira. I understand that shared taxis are a common form of getting around, but I am not familiar with them. Are shared taxis available for these great distances? Are they efficient? Or are there other recommended modes of travel between these particular cities? Any experiences or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :-)
