Excursion journey: 360 km

Essaouira is one of the essential steps of your visit to Morocco. A city with a
commercial vocation, Essaouira is full of charm through its narrow streets, its
port and especially its medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A haven of peace,
Essaouira is divided between its maritime past and its "New City".

Formerly called "The well-guarded", the name of
Essaouira today translates as "well drawn". The history of the city
begins in the 9th century when the Romans came to establish counters for the
shell trade. During the Middle Ages, Essaouira developed economically with the
wheat trade and politically with the establishment of royalty. During the 18th
century, the city took a new face with the creation of a naval base under the
orders of Sultan Mohammed Ben Abdallah. The construction continued with the
emergence of the medina and ramparts ... whose architect was of French origin!
Over time, trade continued to grow before being threatened by the emergence of
ports such as Casablanca or Agadir. Essaouira then differentiated itself by
developing its history and its culture to become a tourist pole.

With its beautiful harbor exposed to the influences of the
Atlantic Ocean, Essaouira is a destination that does not lack charm: The marine
setting is for many, with a beautiful seafront, air, waves, beaches. .. but the
city itself is not foreign, thanks to its historical heritage. Thus, the Medina
of Essaouira is listed as World Heritage by UNESCO: In an excellent state of
preservation, it is one of the most beautiful of its kind in Morocco. The
stroll through the alleys leads to the colorful souks and the ramparts that
rise around the traditional kasbah ... all dominate the sea, and against a
backdrop of a sunset, becomes a real postcard! Essaouira also has a modern city, including a
whole bunch of art galleries, as well as a small port still active, with its
colorful fishing boats. At the edge of the large sandy beach, sails in the sky
signal the presence of kitesurfers and windsurfers: Ocean winds make Essaouira
a 'spot' famous for these sports.
