Location

Tourists booking stays at Hotel Mumtaz Mahal Essaouira for their first visit to this dazzling resort and port city on Morocco’s Atlantic Coast have much to enjoy here. Although primarily loved for beach breaks thanks to the picturesque Essaouira Beach, the spectacular Moroccan city offers much more in terms of history and culture. Essaouira is also rich in Moroccan cuisine, promising specialties like seafood Tagines, Amlou (almond and honey spread), Couscous (steamed semolina with meat and vegetables), and Argan-oil infused dishes.

The UNESCO-listed Essouira Medina (old town) is a must-explore, encircled by impressive seafront ramparts called the Skala de la Kasbah, dating back to the 18th century. Other top experiences and sites on city break holidays to Essaouira include vibrant souks (traditional markets), the scenic fishing port, art galleries, water sports, horse riding and quad biking tours, and the renowned Gnaoua and World Music Festival. Wildlife lovers can keep an eye out for adorable goats climbing Argan trees, a sight unique to the region.
