Essaouira is the darling of many Moroccan tourists! Previously known as Mogador to the Portuguese inhabitants, Essaouira is a charming fishing village well known for local handicrafts. Orson Wells filmed “Othello” here, making the Portuguese ramparts famous in the opening scene. Local specialties include thuja wood furniture and carvings, and small artifacts sold in dozens of shops along the winding streets. You can visit the women’s Argan Oil Cooperative where Argan nuts are processed by hand into one of the most versatile oils, delicious in salads and a treat for the skin.

At the sea front, the customer chooses a selection of freshly caught fish to be prepared on the spot. Surfing opportunities and the long, sandy beach make it an ideal spot for lovers of sand and surf. Visitors to Essaouira enjoy a favorable microclimate that’s mild in winter and cool in summer.

After a trip to the desert, Essaouira is a favorite place to relax on the beach, shop for unique handicrafts, and take in the beauty of the walled village and its inviting alleys and cafes.

The price depends on the number of the travelers and the accommodations category.
