Embark on a journey to Essaouira, previously known as Mogador, strategically situated on a rugged peninsula with vigilant fortifications overseeing the ocean. Its medina exhibits a blend of white and blue hues, a bustling harbour, and stretches of sandy beaches.
Essaouira’s existence can be traced back to the 8th century BC when the Phoenicians made a stopover while navigating the equatorial route. The city was officially established by the Alaouite Sultan Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah who commissioned its construction to Theodore Cornut, a skilled architect and apprentice of Vauban. Currently, Essaouira serves as a charming, animated fishing port buzzing with activity upon the arrival of boats carrying sardines and shellfish for sale at the auction. Witness fishermen on the quay mending the red nets.
