についてEssaouira
Essaouira is a fortified port city on Morocco's Atlantic coast, roughly 185 km west of Marrakech. Its medina and ramparts are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city has long attracted artists, musicians, and travellers seeking an alternative to the intense heat and energy of Marrakech. The blue-and-white medina, bustling fishing harbour, and wide sandy beach backed by constant Atlantic winds create an atmosphere found nowhere else in Morocco.
The city has a rich cultural heritage shaped by Berber, Arab, Sub-Saharan African, and European influences. This mix gave birth to Gnaoua music, a hypnotic spiritual tradition celebrated every year at the world-famous Gnaoua World Music Festival held in June. The beach stretches for miles south of the ramparts and is one of the best windsurfing and kitesurfing spots in Africa, attracting professionals from around the world.
The most comfortable and direct way to travel between Marrakech and Essaouira is by private transfer with KechGo. The journey takes approximately 2 hours 30 minutes on the A7 motorway, passing through argan tree forests where you can sometimes spot goats perched in the branches — a classic Moroccan roadside sight.

の旅のヒントEssaouira
- Bring a jacket even in summer — Essaouira's Atlantic winds make it noticeably cooler than Marrakech, especially in the evenings
- Visit the fish market at the port in the morning for the freshest catch, then have it grilled at one of the adjacent restaurants
- The Skala de la Kasbah sea bastion offers panoramic views of the ocean and the medina — best visited at sunset
- Argan oil products sold in Essaouira are among the most authentic in Morocco — look for cooperatives run by local Berber women
- Book your return transfer in advance as taxis back to Marrakech can be hard to find and expensive without prior arrangement
