Medina of Essaouira in Essaouira, Morocco, is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its well-preserved 18th-century architecture and vibrant cultural heritage. Enclosed by historic ramparts, the medina features narrow alleyways, whitewashed buildings with blue shutters, and bustling souks that sell a variety of goods, including spices, textiles, and handcrafted items. The coastal location also means that visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the city’s picturesque harbor.
