Take an excursion to Essaouira to discover the former Portuguese city. The 18th-century European fortress, the sensation of the Atlantic, and the maritime air, are located two and a half hours from Marrakech, passing through dry plantations and the famous “Argan tree.”

Essaouira, the historic port city, formerly known as “Mogador,” is now the home of artists and surfers from around the world, seeking adventure, fun, tranquility, serenity, and inspiration. These visitors reflect the brilliance and grandeur of the Arab-Portuguese and Berber culture of the region.

Start your Essaouira excursion by exploring the ancient fortifications that blend Portuguese and Berber architecture. Take a stroll through the old medina and discover its souks, painter and woodworking workshops, and taste the cedar wood sculptures.

And that’s not all. The visit is far from over. Discover the cultural side of the city, visit art galleries, and let yourself be carried away by the colors and charm of art that soothes the soul.

Listen to the GNAOUI music, with musicians inspired by the songs of Guinea, especially during the annual GNAOUA Festival, which takes place every May starting from the second week.

Three days of festivities and enjoyment.

The culinary art is also part of the experience; taste freshly caught fish, grilled and drenched in mouthwatering sauces. You will witness the unloading of the fish and can choose the fish you want, even negotiate the price, if you wish to experience this unique moment. Agence Transport will suggest certified restaurants where you can enjoy your lunch in peace.

A little romantic walk along the Atlantic coast is always a pleasure to end a special day.
