This prestigious ranking places the Windy City ahead of Agadir, Tangier, Casablanca and El Jadida, confirming its status as a top tourist destination.
Liligo's ranking, based on rigorous criteria including infrastructure quality, cultural richness, cleanliness, accessibility and overall visitor experience, highlights the many assets of the Pearl of the Atlantic, renowned for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed medina (old city), fine sandy beaches and unique artistic ambience that captivates with its authentic charm and enchanting setting.
In its assessment, Liligo particularly emphasizes Essaouira's pleasant year-round climate, and invites travelers to explore the ancient medina, a veritable labyrinth of alleyways with white walls and typical blue doors.
"A walk along the ramparts, offering spectacular views of the ocean and wild cliffs, is recommended at sunset to enjoy a breathtaking panorama", notes Liligo, highlighting emblematic places such as the fishing port, where you can savor freshly grilled seafood, or the souk, renowned for its handcrafted creations, notably objects made from cedar wood, a local specialty.
With this recognition, Essaouira enshrines its image as a must-see destination on a global scale, offering perfect harmony between culture, relaxation and discovery.
