Excursion to Essaouira, the former Mogador built on a rocky peninsula, with its ramparts in a vigil on the ocean, its medina in white and blue tones, its busy port, and its long sandy beaches.
The history of Essaouira dates back to the 8th century BC. The Phoenicians stopped there on the road of the equator. The real founder of the city was the Alaouite Sultan Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, who entrusted the construction to Theodore Cornut, architect and student of Vauban Essaouira is now a nice little fishing port very lively at the arrival of the boats where sardines and crustaceans are sold at the auction. On the docks, fishermen repair the red nets.
This beautiful town, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, remains one of Morocco’s best-kept secrets and is a must-see destination. Essaouira has a bustling historical center and was the film location for many international films and tv shows. Walk around with your guide through the lovely small souks and visit the impressive fortress. In the afternoon you have some free time to eat some fresh fish at the beautiful old harbor (not included) or enjoy the beach.
