Highlights
-
Essaouira Ramparts - We will go from Marrakech towards Essaouira it takes about 3 hours to reach the city of the wind.
When we arrive at this town located on the Atlantic coast of Morocco and three hours from Marrakech, the calm of the place is even strange to us, so used to the bustle of the big Moroccan cities. Once we set foot in calm Essaouira we contemplated around us the blue porticoes of the houses, the simplicity of the bazaars and the seagulls, hundreds of seagulls that fly over the town where Orson Welles shot part of his film Othello in 1949, a sign that indicates the artistic influence of a town in which jazz and Arab music concerts regularly meet in local cafes.
We will walk through its Medina, which was named a World Heritage Site in 2001. We will also visit some souks and especially visit some art galleries to show you the urban and colorful art of this fishing city.
- Medina of Essaouira - We will go to the medina of Essaouira to learn about its history and we will enter its colorful souks. We will also know the urban art galleries of Essaouira and we will know the art of Moroccan artists

Essaouira, art, the sea, gastronomy, history and wine - An experience that remains impregnated in your memory. Essaouira, its charm is magical, in addition to its beach, its inhabitants and port. With Aladdina we went to eat local food from Essaouira, visit the best art galleries with a good Moroccan wine among other surprises. It also left us free time to enjoy the city on our own. Recommended to go with friends, family, partner or yourself. Thank you always

wonderful day with Aladdina!! - We have spent a wonderful day with Aladdina
we used only one day in the city and we decided to do it and the truth has not disappointed, we got to know the city, its culture, the port where we ate the best fish for a long time...
We took photos of the streets and its alleys, and we had a lot of fun, we felt very safe and enjoyable, recommended if you have little time and want to make the most of it.
Thank you Kamelia and your staff.
