Essaouira city in morocco is a port and resort on the Atlantic coast. Its medina (old town) is protected by 18th-century seafront ramparts called the Skala de la Kasbah.
The medina is home to many historic riads, or Moroccan bed-and-breakfast hotels. Stroll the medina’s winding narrow streets to find stalls hawking fruit, vegetables and spices, or browse the souk’s handicrafts.
