Essaouira

Essaouira

The port is listed in the register of the UNESCO World Heritage.
Essaouira is situated in the West of Morocco by the Atlantic ocean.

We went to the Essaouira by minibus. The road was good. The Driver stopped three times.
We saw argan trees and goats fattened up trees. Next we saw the production of argan oil. Women by hand made oil in the small factory.

Then we saw a beautiful view on the city and the Atlantic ocean.
The city has wite and blue colours mainly.
Some districts are poor and dirty and some modern and clean.

The port with blue boats is incredible, it seems like time has stopped there.
The medina is very tight. It is easy to get lost, beacuse it is  like a maze.
There are beautiful and wide beaches . There are many birds and many cats too.
