Essaouira, a medieval city acknowledged as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is famed for its annual Gnaoua music festival. However, there's an abundance of other attractions to relish during your visits. From the pleasant climate and the lively Moulay El Hassan Square to the historic La Skala, the harbour, the fortifications, and the Jewish district of Derb Lealouj, not to mention the tranquil atmosphere of the beach.
Your day commences with a relaxing journey in a minibus. You'll cross the Haouz plains, pausing to appreciate sights such as the argan forests, where you might even spot goats scaling trees. Upon arrival in Essaouira, you're at liberty to wander through the narrow lanes and passageways of the UNESCO-protected Medina. Uncover the bustling Jewish district and interact with skilled local artisans. Allocate time to experience the city's vast sandy beaches and absorb the rhythm of Gnawa music in the lively cafés of Moulay El Hassan Square.
Lunch is at your discretion, whether you fancy mingling with locals or dining at a restaurant - don’t hesitate to ask a driver for suggestions. After lunch, relax on Essaouira's beach and inhale the fresh air.
