Essaouira, Morocco

Essaouira Morocco

The most ideal location, offering the finest of everything, while maintaining utmost respect for nature. Essaouira is a remarkable and well-preserved example of a mid-18th century fortified seaport town, with a strong European influence adapted to a North African setting. Mogador serves as a hub for numerous small art galleries and craft businesses, and is also renowned for its kite and windsurfing, thanks to the powerful winds that blow almost incessantly onto the sheltered, virtually waveless bay, which is one of Morocco's major fishing harbors. Renowned for the Gnaoua music festival, as well as Sufi music, including "The Printemps Musical des Alizes" in the spring and "Festival des Andalousies Atlantiques" in the fall. This gem of the Atlantic is a must-see when visiting Morocco.
