Description

Essaouira, formerly known as Mogador, was successively occupied by the Phoenicians, the Romans, and the Portuguese. The latter built a commercial and military port there before the end of the 15th century, located at the foot of the city walls. From the terrace of the North Bastion, one can access the marquetry district, famous for its cedar artisans. Following Derb Laalouj Street, one arrives at the Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah Museum, which exhibits Andalusian musical instruments, weapons, and costumes. To the north is the Mellah, the former Jewish quarter, bordered by a market that extends to Bab Doukkala.

A fish lunch, a local specialty, can be enjoyed by the sea. Along the way, you'll pass through fields of argan trees, which produce the nuts used to make argan oil, prized for cooking and cosmetics. You can also observe goats perched in the trees and visit a women's cooperative producing authentic argan oil.
