Walled City

#celebratewithtrip The medina of Essaouira was built in the mid-eighteenth century and is a real treasure, full of locals coming and going doing business. It is a real pleasure to get lost in the long narrow alley. The tall whitewashed houses and the magnificent blue color doors. The souk area is also great, with a lot of food stalls, very affordable handicrafts and activity. Riads, guesthouses and hotels are crowded in the medina, because is only a short distance walk to the ports, square and beach. The Medina was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
