Surprisingly very enchanting port city that is easily Wong's favorite. It is certainly a welcome stop after the suffocating heat in Marrakech. Cool, picturesque and full of vibrant color and life, Essaouira is the perfect place to continue our photography contest and as well, an easy place for souvenir shopping -- no heat, aggressive vendors and excellent tea!
