About Essaouira for Solo Travelers
A windswept blue port city on the Atlantic where Jimi Hendrix once wandered and solo travelers still come to decompress — ramparts, argan oil, and some of Morocco's best seafood.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Essaouira is Morocco's most relaxed and solo-friendly coastal city — the wind-swept ramparts, blue-and-white medina, and laid-back fishing port culture make it a natural solo escape from the intensity of Marrakech or Fes. The main square is social in the evenings; the beach is windy (it's a kitesurfing hub) but dramatic for solo walks. Very safe for solo women.
