Workation in Essaouira: the essentials
Trade winds define Essaouira, bringing windsurfers and kitesurfers to the long bay and keeping evenings cool even in summer. The walled Atlantic port, known as Mogador until the 1960s, was laid out from the 1760s by a sultan who wanted a town for foreign merchants, and its medina has been on the UNESCO list since 2001. Around 83,000 people live here, the fishing harbour still works, and the Gnaoua festival draws crowds each June. Essaouira-Mogador airport is about 15 km out, and buses run to Marrakesh. Nightlife is limited.
