Essaouira
About
Essaouira, formerly Mogador, is a port city on the Atlantic coast. Its fortified medina, developed in the 18th century, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the terrace of the North bastion, you can reach the marquetry quarter where the best craftsmen work with cedar wood. Leaving the Skala, we follow Derb Laalouj street to the Sidi Mohammed Ben Mohammed Ben Abdallah museum, which houses a collection of musical instruments for the local Andalusian songs, weapons, costumes... Located in the north of the city is the Mellah, the Jewish quarter, which crosses the traditional Mohammed Zerktouni street. It is bordered by a market that stretches all the way to Bab Doukkala… Fish lunch (Essaouira specialities) in a seafront restaurant. On the way, we will pass through many fields of argan trees, the trees producing the nuts used to make the famous argan oil, used both in cooking and in cosmetics. You will have the chance to see goats perched in the argan trees… And a visit to a real women's cooperative producing genuine argan oil. Visit Essaouira in one day!
