Hello,
I plan to go one week in july at Essaouira.
So I am looking for information!
1- What is the wind strengh in july?
2- For the non kiters, what activities are possibles?
3- What are the best spots (without big gusts if possible) near Essaouira?
4- I am looking for a good and relatively cheap accomodation for about 6 persons, what is the good place to go?
5- What budget should I envisage for 3 meals a day?
6- What budget should I envisage to rent a 4x4 per day?

Thanks in advance to help me!

I was there more than ten years ago soo...from what I remember it's all quite cheap. Accomadation shouldn't be a problem. separating yourself from the 20 plus different touts trying to bring you to their place will not be easy however. Nor will walking down the street without having every shop owner in your face. serious high pressure sales tactics. Don't know much about the kiting, sorry. Good luck with that. As for renting a car. You're braver than I am.
