Essaouria from the harbour
Hi,
I am currently staying in Essaouira for 3 nights. Is 4 nights too long? Is Oualidia a good place to visit? Do you have any other suggestions for a day trip from Essouira?
Finally, how much would a taxi be from Essouira to Oualidia?
Thank you.
oualidia is nice but with the time you have had in essouira its another beachy spot but less people and tourists, good seafood restaurants but i reckon further to el jadida with its portuguese fortress is more culturally inteeresting.
About ten boats of the same look, all of them painted in white and blue, arrived in half an hour time. They are all of about the same size and have evidently been built in the harbor of Essaouira. As they have the same look that those which are on berths.
This tree is a thuya. (Thuya orientalis), Chinese Arborvitae or Oriental Arbor-vitae. Though its name refers to China, it grows wild in many parts of Morocco and especially around Essaouira. It is different from Thuya occidentalis, Eastern Arborvitae or American Arborvitae, widly cultivated both in Northern America and in Europe.
On the journey back to Marrakesh, our mini bus pulled into the car park of this attractive roadside cafe.
I was ready for my mint tea fix!, so I ordered a pot of the same. My fellow travellers ordered soft drinks or beer.
It was quite pleasant to sit outside, watching the sun go down over the distant Atlas Mountains.
I'm not sure if meals were available, but a lady was patiently rolling dough out , and making what appeared to be savoury pancake parcels- I wish We'd had more time to try these snacks.
However, this was a drink and toilet break!
- ( The toilets/wash room were clean!)
UPDATE - We also used this cafe on our journey to/from M'kesh September 2006. It has now expanded, but wasn't as clean. Lots of flies, especially in the toilets.
Artworks, fossils and mineral stones, pottery, books , postcards and carpets for sale. The Mint Tea was very refreshing!

The main square in Essaouira is named after the movie director Orson Welles who shot his most famous movie "Othello" in Essaouira.
It's a pleasant square next to the fishing harbour and it has lot's of cafes with outdoor seating and makes a perfect meeting place aswell as a place to "waste" a day observing morrocoan street life.
The area around the ramparts seems to attract artists, both professional and amateur, its also popular with photographers.
Below the ramparts are workshops where artisans can be seen hard at work, either painting or doing wood crafting.
These workshops were originally used as munitions stores.
