Essaouira

 From above, Essaouira reveals itself as a breathtaking blend of coastal beauty and historical charm. The medina, with its maze of narrow streets and whitewashed buildings with blue shutters, forms a stunning contrast against the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean. The city’s ramparts, standing strong along the shoreline, offer a dramatic outline, with the blue waters gently lapping at the base of the ancient walls.

The skyline is dotted with the minaret of the Moulay Hassan Mosque and the fortress of Skala de la Ville, offering a glimpse into the city’s rich heritage. As the eye follows the coastline, the golden sands stretch out, meeting the water in a seamless blend of colors. Flocks of white birds circle above, adding movement to the tranquil scene below.

From this aerial view, Essaouira feels like a serene haven where history, culture, and nature converge—a timeless city nestled between the land and sea, offering a sense of calm and beauty from every angle.
