Salam~ Hello to you from the misty sea-side town of Essaouira, Morocco!!! Excursion so far has been quite the adventure! On Saturday we drove all day through the low Atlas mountains way down to the Sahara desert to the town of Erfoud. ... Needless to say this is a very, very, very expensive and rare oil! We got to try a little bit of it on our hands and it really is amazing! It made my hands really soft without being greasy at all! Really cool! It's also a really great organization because it is all run by women and helps them to provide for their families and work together to help each other! After that we moved on to our hotel in Essaouira! Essaouira is where we are having our fall break! It's a gorgeous misty little sea-side town that is often compared to beaches in New England in the USA. ... The air feels very humid and damp compared to the desert air we just left.Salam~ Hello to you from the misty sea-side town of Essaouira, Morocco!!! Excursion so far has been quite the adventure!

After the hustle and bustle of Marrakech, a break in the quiet seaside town of Essaouira was welcome. ... Today Essaouira still functions as a fishing port, although its primary industry appears to be tourism. ... For us,it was a relaxing place for a short stay and a nice final city on our Moroccan agenda.After the hustle and bustle of Marrakech, a break in the quiet seaside town of Essaouira was welcome. ...

May 21, 2008 - Essaouira, heading to the beach!

After a few great days in Marrakesh, we decided to go to the beach. We took a bus to Essaouira, and rode 6 hours through mostly desert to reach the ocean, and white sandy beaches. ... After being bombarded by touts offering their riads we looked at a few and settled on one with a great view for 30 euros a night.After a few great days in Marrakesh, we decided to go to the beach.

Hello Finally have time to update everyone. We are in Essaouira, a popular wind surfing and beach town. ... However, because it is good for windsurfing it is not so good for the beach or leannas hair.Hello Finally have time to update everyone. We are in Essaouira, a popular wind surfing and beach town. ...

We went to Essaouira for four days and ended up staying eight. ... Living in an apartment in one place for a while was a welcome break from travelling.We went to Essaouira for four days and ended up staying eight. ...

Well perhaps Essaouira wasn't that great a choice for NYE but then again it's possible that nowhere in Morocco was going to have the street party and fire-works I crave for the occasion. ... I gave up on the main bar, Taros, at about 11:30pm as it was filling up with male Moroccans.Well perhaps Essaouira wasn't that great a choice for NYE but then again it's possible that nowhere in Morocco was going to have the street party and fire-works I crave for the occasion. ...

I LOVE Essaouira!! Marakesh was nice, but I didn't get a vibe from it and it was so hot. ... So we took the bus from Marrakesh to Essaouira which is a beach town on the coast. ...

Hice una parada en este pueblo costero porque me lo recomendaron un par de veces en Marrakesh. Anecdota: en el bus a Essaouira, me sente al costado de un judio frances descendiente de un rey marroqui de hace varios siglos que a su vez era descendiente del mismisimo Rey David! Me hablo mil cosas de la religion judia, entre ellas que el apellido "Benavides" es de origen judio, y que quiere decir 'hijo de David'! Supuestamente los Benavides originales que llegaron a America se fueron a raiz de la expulsion de los judios en Espanya. ... Este senyor era mistico judio e iba a visitar la tumba de un santo judio en Essaouira porque era su dia, ya que las tumbas de los santos son fuente de emanacion de energias potentes. ...
