Morocco’s Essaouira stands out as one of the ten most beautiful African cities, serving as ambassador for the African continent’s rich cultural heritage, according to rankings on the Business Insider Africa website.
“On Morocco’s Atlantic coast, the quaint and lovely city of Essaouira provides tourists with a distinct fusion of culture, history, and breathtaking scenery,” the website added.
It also noted that “the city is blessed with pristine beaches, dramatic cliffs, and panoramic ocean views, making it an ideal destination for sun-seekers, surfers, and nature enthusiasts alike.”
Safari Bookings, the world’s largest resource and leading authority for planning African safaris, places Cape Town in South Africa, Zanzibar in Tanzania, and Cairo in Egypt as the three top cities on the list.
Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, Djenné in Mali, Maputo in Mozambique, and Nairobi in Kenya are also included as the most attractive cities in the African continent.
Beautiful cities in Africa serve as more than just visually-appealing destinations for residents and tourists. They function as regional hubs, fostering connectivity and facilitating global trade, exchange, and collaboration.
These cities play also a crucial role in promoting social cohesion and inclusivity, serving as melting pots of diverse cultures, languages, and traditions.
