Located about a three-hour drive away from Marrakech, Essaouira is a former fishing village that saw a huge tourism boom after it became one of the shooting locations of the popular TV show “Game of Thrones.” Its most eye-catching feature is its ramparts which were built sometime in the 18th century to protect residents from invaders. From here, you can see the Medina of Essaouira which used to be called Mogador, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that you can explore if you want to check out local wares or enjoy mint tea at one of the local cafes. Of course, a trip to Essaouira won’t be complete without visiting one of its beaches where you can try surfing or kite surfing. These are only some of the activities that await you.
