Our joint day outing to Essaouira is the perfect way to get away from bustling metropolises and unwind along the stunning coast of the Atlantic, surrounded by inspiring bohemian cafes.
Essaouira, referred to as the ‘small stronghold’ in Tamazight, stands as an unparalleled specimen of a fortified town from the late 18th century and is a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Being a cradle of traditional Gnawa music and argan oil, the town epitomizes a hub of diverse cultural intermingling, as evidenced by the peaceful cohabitation of numerous ethnic and religious groups like the Amazighs, Arabs, Africans, and Europeans.
Nowadays, Essaouira is revered for being a favored haunt of Jimi Hendrix. The town’s relaxed, bohemian ambience coupled with its artistic appeal continues to draw globe-trotters. The town is also celebrated for surfing, has been a popular choice for film locations (Games of Thrones, John Wick) and prides itself on its unique culinary offerings. Indulging in the fresh Atlantic seafood and fish at local eateries is a non-negotiable when visiting Essaouira.
