Description
Discover Essaouira, the pearl of the Atlantic, on an excursion from Marrakech. Known for its bohemian atmosphere and unique architecture, this UNESCO World Heritage-listed port city offers a striking contrast to the bustling energy of the Marrakech medina.
Essaouira, formerly called Mogador, charms with its streets lined with white houses with blue shutters, its 18th-century ramparts, and its lively port, where fishermen bring in fresh catches daily. Strolling through the medina of Essaouira means discovering a blend of Arab, Berber, and European cultures, which is reflected in the architecture, crafts, and local music.
The program for this excursion includes: a walk on the port, a visit to the ramparts and historic bastions, as well as an exploration of the souks full of artisanal products, including objects made of carved thuya wood. You can also enjoy a seafood lunch in one of the typical restaurants overlooking the ocean.
