Very few artists move me as Lalla Essaydi does. From the moment I saw her first photograph — at the Istanbul Art Fair some years ago — I knew I had to have her work in my life. LIttle did I know how much a part of my life the artist, too, would become as a friend. She is an extraordinary woman and a supremely talented photographer/artist whose work haunts and tantalizes and inspires.

Hope you have a great stay in Marrakech

Hi there
Thanks for creating such a wonderful site and information, which I have been enjoying for some time. I too love Morocco and its exceptional culture, and have my own site which helps people find riad and hotel accommodation there. Was wondering if I might link to your site as my users will really benefit from visiting yours. I won’t do anything yet without your permission so please do get in contact
Kind regards
Tim

Comment on What to do With the Children in Agadir….. by marrakechxanthepat

marrakechxanthepat — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 08:58:32 +0000

Dear Rita
I find Essa to be too windy, and the sea is very cold there too. Actually I spent sometime last year in Agadir in August and it was really lovely. If you look on a map, Agadir is actually in a a large bay which I think protects it from those Atlantic winds and I also found the water much, much warmer. The only problem with Agadir in August is that the main beach can be very crowded. We spent time about 30km north of Agadir here you will find lots of lovely little sandy bays which were not as crowded as the main beach. We also headed south of the city and here we found many long and very isolated beaches where we hardly saw a soul. If you want privacy then its a good Idea to maybe rent a little car and head away from the main beach. Many of the big hotels have parts of the main beach sectioned off for the use of their guests, but it still feels very crowded. ( but Essa will be the same).
Essa is a delightful little town it has so much more atmosphere than Agadir.Much closer to Marrakech, but has no airport so you need to drive for a couple of hours from Marrakech to get there. The wind is not always around, from my own experience around 70% of the time ( when it comes it makes hanging on the beach hard work). If it is windy then you can make use of the sports facilieties like kite surfing and wind surfing and of course you have the cute little Medina to explore. Agadir itself is far bigger and a more modern and commercial city, with less history because of the earthquake that destroyed the old town. Its more of a resort type place, Agadir has been rebuilt specifically for tourisum so It doesnt quite have that Medina vibe that Marrakech and Essa both have. So if your looking for a Moroccan Medina experience I would go for Essa, but if you are looking for a beach holiday then I would go for Agadir.
Please dont hesitate to drop me a line if you need anything else.
Have a great trip
