Charming little town, Essaouira is the old Portuguese city of Mogador. It was fortified by a French architect who was a follower of Vauban. For a long time the city had a large Jewish population.
These influences, and many more, resulted in a unique and very appealing result. Today, the city is gradually becoming a city of artists.
Essaouira benefits from an extremely favorable microclimate which ensures a mild temperature in winter and cool in summer. Also noteworthy is a beautiful beach, protected by the purpurary islands.
Essaouira craftsmen are renowned for cedar root marquetry and offer a wide range of objects from small souvenirs to pieces of furniture and true works of art.
