Essaouira is a laid back town on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, it is famous for being a great surf spot because of its windy weather most of the year, hence its nickname "city of wind" or "windy town"
But other than that, Essaouira has many other interesting things to offer.. mainly arts and crafts.
The local souk inside the medina with its divers small #shops will entice you to do some nice shopping. Essaouira has a variety of products ranging for all of Morocco’s popular merchandise to the local specialties of the region like thuya wood, raffia shoes, some amazing vibrant local art, and organic argan oil, which is Morocco’s liquid gold.
Thanks to Essaouira's skilled artisans, fragrant thuya wood (a conifer native to northwest Africa) is turned into all manner of boxes and decorative objects that you could buy for relatively cheap price.
You will also find small shops that offer selections of art work by local artists and artisans, like colorful paintings and prints, hand-woven throws, bags and jewellery.
Galleries of retro furniture could also be found in the medina of Essaouira, You might be amazed by the treasures that those galleries have, from old film posters or antique Berber (Amazigh) doors that you can get as a souvenir.
Buying a nice carpet can be a piece of work in Marrakech, but the experience will be slightly different in Essaouuira, the vendors don't talk too much to make you feel pressure to buy, plus you will have the opportunity to learn some good info about the various carpets in display like its age, origin and the meaning behind seemingly random markings and designs. The prices generally good but there's always room for some bargaining.
