This day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech, home to a traditional Portuguese harbor with fine examples of Moorish and Portuguese art. Famous for its fine wood-work, Essaouira is also home to the silver souk, art galleries and islands.
It is evident why Essaouira is frequently referred to as the ‘Gem of the Atlantic’. This destination has garnered such popularity that Orson Welles chose to film Othello here in 1949. Begin your day by exploring the fishing port, medina, and artistic complex. In the afternoon, take a leisurely walk through this enchanting town, adorned with ancient souks, fish auctions, and picturesque blue and white seaside houses. And let’s not forget about the vast stretches of golden sands waiting to be discovered.
