Have 3 days in Essaouira? This travel itinerary mixes ocean air with coastal culture—day trips, medina exploring, seafood dinners, and relaxed beach time. Essaouira is the ideal Moroccan city for travellers – in my not-so-humble opinion. A fishing town that offers a lazy coastal atmosphere, whilst also boasting an incredible ancient medina packed with all…
Looking to experience an Essaouira hammam? From traditional local baths to spa-style havens, this guide helps you choose the best hammam for relaxation, cleansing rituals, and local authenticity. If you’re travelling Morocco’s surf coast, Essaouira is a great stop for a city fix. The artsy coastal city has loads of great bars, cafes, art galleries…
Looking to explore beyond Agadir? Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, surf towns, or mountain views, this guide shares top day‑trip ideas – and practical travel tips – or a perfect escape. The south west coastline of Morocco is my favourite region in the country, and Agadir conveniently sits right in the middle of it. Whilst most…
Discover Agadir’s diverse nightlife – from beachside lounges and rooftop bars to live music venues and chilled evening spots for tourists and locals. Agadir wouldn’t be my first pick for a party destination. For starters, Morocco is an Islamic country; thus, alcohol isn’t an accepted part of the culture. Agadir isn’t much of a social…

As with most decent-sized villages in Morocco, Mirleft holds a communal marketplace once a week. The local souk (market) is the best place to shop for fresh fruit and veg, nuts and spices, as…
Heading to Tiznit from Agadir or Marrakech? This practical guide walks you through travel options – bus companies, shared taxis, and routes via coastal towns like Mirleft. Tiznit is a small city in the south of Morocco. Sitting 18km inland from the coastal village of Aglou, it’s not the most frequented destination for travellers on…
Looking for the best surf camps in Taghazout, Morocco? Here are my top picks based on guest reviews, value for money and quality surf coaching. For better or worse, Taghazout is riddled with surf camps. Surf tourism is peaking in Morocco. Rental properties are relatively cheap, as are staff wages; thus, every man and their…
Essaouira has no shortage of good food. Whether you’re after a strong coffee, a sunset seafood dinner, or a cheap bite in the medina, this guide has you covered. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Essaouira is the ideal city holiday destination in Morocco. Whilst Marrakech and Fes are incredible in their…
Wondering where to eat in Imsouane? This small surf town doesn’t have a huge dining scene, but it does have a few great spots for seafood, tagines, and decent coffee. Unfortunately, many of the best cafes and restaurants in Imsouane were demolished by the Government in early 2024. (Read more about that here). But there…
