Essaouira, formerly Mogador, is a medieval city also known for its annual Gnaoua music festival.
UNESCO considers the city an international heritage site.
There are many things to admire during your visit to Essaouira, such as the Place Moulay El Hassan, the Skala, the port, the ramparts and the Jewish quarter of Derb Lealouj without forgetting the beach.
Take the road to the seaside resort of the Atlantic coast with a pick up from your Riad with your driver.
You will discover three places before arriving in Essaouira where you will stop.
The first one will be in a beautiful natural farm to rest, taste your favorite sweets (tea & Moroccan pastry) and get explanations on the program of the day.
You will take the road to a famous place called the Bouc.
You will discover the goat tree of Morocco. Goats stand on incredibly fragile branches throughout the trees.
Far from a single ambitious goat climbing a single tree, the animals tend to cluster in the branches in numbers.
The last stop will be at an argan oil cooperative where the manufacturing process will be explained as well as the benefits of this amazing and natural oil.
When you arrive in Essaouira, your guide will be waiting to take you on a tour of the narrow streets of the medina.
Explore the Jewish Quarter where you will meet skilled local artisans. Linger on the city’s vast sandy beaches and enjoy the sound of Gnaoua music in the lively cafes of Moulay El Hassan Square.
Your lunch will await you in a restaurant renowned throughout Essaouira for its fresh fish.
Afterwards, you can relax on the beach and enjoy the fresh air or return to explore the city.
At the end of your tour, your driver will take you back to the Riad after this unforgettable experience.
