This is an excellent deal. Having just come back from Essaouria and preferred it over to Agadir and Marrakech think this is a bargain. Flights are only £30ish per person on the dates 1st December coming back 5th December with Easyjet from Luton.
Flights return only are only £28 per person now!!
Hotel I have searched via Trivago staying at the La Maison Du Sud which is only £31 a night and includes breakfast. We stayed at the Riad Al Madina which was basic but not too bad.
If I had more leave from work I would go again even if it was by myself. Excellent opportunities to take photos and just relax.
the country is fine, you gotta switch off the tv and get out more, may I suggest Morocco

Shhhh.
Let them think it's dangerous.
Less hillbilly brits around then, complaining about the food and trying to find a McDonalds to feed their fat kids.

Staff in bluewater shopping centre have a briefing everyday telling them they are high risk.
Would you stop going shopping as well then?

This is classic throwaway answer from someone who knows nothing about the country and probably reads the Daily Express.
Having worked and lived in Morocco and travelled it extensively, you are no more at risk here than in the UK, if anything the UK is a much higher risk. Unlike the other Maghrebi countries Morocco is run by a constitutional Monarchy with a very democratic society, and is run with a firm but fair hand. Like any other Western country and the Tunisian attacks you would simply be extremely unfortunate to get caught up in anything disastrous and it could be London as easily as any other place. The more you avoid these places and the more isolated they become the higher the chances of these awful occurrences happening.
Essaouria is beautiful beyond words and as safe as anywhere in Europe, go and see for yourself when you have put your Daily Express down.

Spoken by someone with no knowledge, clearly living in their own little bubble! The terrorism alert for Morrocco is high, however the alert for the uk is severe.
Only spent one day in Essaouira but it is lovely, much cooler than Marrakech when we were there.

Me and my wife went to Agadir almost a month ago. This was before I realised that Morocco was classified as high alert by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office on 4th September. When we got there we had nothing to worry about. There were families there from UK, France and Germany at the hotel I stayed at and we had no worries at all. Took a day trip to Marrakech and Paradise Valley... again no problems.
