Thank you for this information.

I plan to have 2 weeks in Morcco in early June. We like to spend time at the beach and to swim in the sea, Do you think Essaouria would be a good place to base oneself? I was looking to book a hotel and do trips Desert, Marrakesh etc. from there. Not sure I like the idea of the "cold wind"

Remind me please where are your tours based? My sister, who I shall be travelling with, thinks she would only like a short trip in the desert...I intend to change her mind on this as I would like to spend maybe 2 or 3 days

Medina sounds good. Thanks again.
