Introducing Atlantic Coast
Miles of glorious sands peppered with small fishing villages, historic ports and fortified towns weave along Morocco’s blustery Atlantic Coast. It’s a region that sweeps from pristine beachfront to urban sprawl around Casablanca, from the long, windswept beaches in the south to mountain valleys, green as green.

Essaouira (pronounced ‘essa-weera’, or ‘es-Sweera’ in Arabic) is at once familiar and exotic with its fortified walls, fishing harbour and seagulls soaring and screaming over the town.
