Souira swimming


I and my friends visited Souira, Morocco last June 23-24, 2018 for an overnight stay to relax and go swimming at the beach. Souira Guedima as it is officially named, was formerly known as Aguz. It is a town in Morocco that is 36 km south of Safi and is located on the Atlantic seacoast. 

We rented a house for 400 dirhams for an overnight stay. We arrived at the place around 5:30 in the afternoon. The owner of the house was very accommodating and friendly, that he even fetches me with his car at my workplace, which is just 10 minutes away from Souira.

The sunset view was amazing.The promenade is filled with bystanders in the evening for pastime, mostly teenagers hanging around.


We had our dinner at the Ranch Bleu restaurant, one of the best in the area. They serve different foods from burger, pasta, panini and other sweets and delicacies.


On early morning of Sunday, we walked along the seafront promenade and directly went to the market for breakfast.


Near the market area, there is a small castle and port which according to the locals dates back to the 16th century.




The green boats amazed me, since all the boats on the seawater are colored in green. 


The place is also known of king crabs, and in the market, you can find seafood such as crabs and octopus and fresh fishes in a very cheap price.






Then, we go swimming . . . a very nice and relaxing day for us. All along the beach there were life guards and posts scattered for the safety and protection of the beach-goers, so no need to worry.



While waiting for the taxi going home, we drink first Moroccan tea at Cafe Snack Azouz.


Surely, will come back again.
