Airport Car Hire
Essaouira is the perfect place for those wanting to experience Morocco in a more relaxing atmosphere. The small city is a great example of a walled-city and also makes for the perfect beach getaway. With direct flights from London, Brussels, and various cities in France, the city is also easy to reach for many. Of course, a hire car is a great idea so that you can reach beaches farther away and smaller villages where you can completely get away from the crowds and experience Moroccan culture.
