Essouira is a fantastic getaway from Marrakech. It has history, architecture, beauty, a great souk, and fresh seafood. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and had a great sense if humor. The guided tour gives a good overview of the Medina area, and there is plenty of time to explore the city and have time for lunch as well. Well worth the trip!
