Good vibrations
Essaouira and its coast is a favourite destination for surfers and
windsurfers. But the activities are not only aquatic. Many local
excursions can also be envisaged…
Crashing waves
Surf, kitesurf and windsurf enthusiasts come from around the world
to take advantage of the swell and surf of this region. Essaouira
and Sidi-Kaouki are ideal beaches for beginners. Fishing fans will
never come home empty handed with such abundant waters. During the
hunting season, hunters will be able to find ample game in the
region: boars, ducks, partridges, hares and pigeons.
Bivouacs and excursions
Essaouira is the ideal base to discover this splendid region. Take a
day trip or a longer excursion. On foot, on quad, on horseback - its
up to you, everything is possible. You can also visit the argan
forests on camel for an excursion lasting several days. At the
lurching speed of the ship of the deserts, immerse yourself in the
villages, take an initiation in pottery, bread baking or traditional
cuisine.
Golf and ocean
Morocco is renowned for its golf courses. A 9-hole course will soon
open in Essaouira, the first part of a 36-hole project, entirely
designed by the renowned world specialist, Gary Player. With this
new course, the old Mogador will have an additional argument for
convincing active holiday fans.
On the musical side of things
Essaouira, a town with a fast growing cultural repertoire and
located at the crossroads of different influences, has not forgotten
music. Since 2000, the "Printemps Musical des Alizés" celebrates all
types of music. For over ten years, at the start of the summer, the
town hosts a remarkable festival dedicated to Gnaoua music, which is
also open to world music
and jazz.
To remember
Those looking for an active and exciting holiday will certainly find
in Essaouira a multitude of sites to visit and activities
to do. |
