Geography of Essaouira

One of the prettiest coastal cities of Africa, the picturesque town of Essaouira is blessed with a geography to which she owes much of her fame as a major tourist attraction of the country of Morocco. Located almost in the heart of the country of Morocco, the beautiful province of Essaouira is nestled in the foothills of the Grand Atlas Mountains. The geography of Essaouira has a bit of everything to earn it fame as one of the most picturesque locales in Africa. The mountains, which, border this charming province also act as a natural barrier, protecting Essaouira from the harsh climate on its other side as well as from the covetous glances of invaders from foreign countries, who have strived for centuries to conquer this pretty land, lured by the natural beauty of Essaouira.

Rocky, thanks to the topography of the Isle of Mogaodor, the entirety of this medieval coastal town is surrounded by hills, olive orchards and dunes, all of which contribute in their won way to the brilliance of the sceneries around them. Of the many forests that dot this tiny province of Morocco, one of the greatest natural treasures is the Argan Trees, which are famous for their production of oil, which gives a characteristic taste to the breakfast of the locals.
