Essaouira Guide in Morocco

The Pearl of Morocco - Essaouira
In the embrace of the Atlantic Ocean, there is an ancient city called Essaouira, also known as Mogador. It quietly sits in the west of Morocco, as the pearl of the Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz region, facing the Atlantic Ocean.
Despite the relatively small size of the fishing port, the strong trade winds and the upwelling brought by the Canary Current make the fishery here exceptionally rich, with sardines and moray eels creating delicious dishes.
Tourism is booming between the blue sky and the ocean. Boutique hotels inherit the traditional Moroccan style, hidden within the walls of the old town. On the coastal beaches, modern hotels offer a unique experience for travelers seeking fashion and comfort.
Unique small handicraft businesses such as cabinet making and wood carving have been thriving in the Medina for hundreds of years, becoming the pride of this city.
In 2001, the Medina of Essaouira was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO as a representative of a late 18th-century fortified town in North Africa.
This sea area, with its stable trade winds and calm sea surface, has become an ideal place for paragliding and windsurfing. Umbrellas on the beach are both protection and a symbol of fashion. Riding camels deep into the desert, one can experience the mysterious beauty of the desert interior.
Seagulls soar freely with the sea breeze. They become a beautiful scenery on the ancient fortresses of Essaouira beach. Although there is concern about their droppings "suddenly appearing," this does not overshadow their beauty of free flight in the blue sky.
In Essaouira, history, nature, and culture converge in the blue sky, ocean, and old town, playing a melodious song of travel.
