The Marrakech region

Essaouira has succeeded in mixing French influences with Moroccan traditions and culture and the result is an international ambiance.
Dating back 3000 years, this fortified fishing village has played a very important role throughout Moroccan history, at one point controlled by the Portuguese, then the French before control was returned to the Kingdom of Morocco in 1956.
Ancient ramparts protect the city from the ocean winds and they resemble the ramparts found today in Saint Malo, in Northern France. The ramparts were originally designed by a French architect in order to protect the inhabitants from invaders.
White sand beaches stretch as far as you can see and water sport lovers - esp kite and wind surfers - return to these beaches each year.
The port, where they still make boats the traditional way - and mainly by hand, comes to life when the boats return from a long day at sea. The fish auctions are great to watch and if you enjoy seafood you have come to the right place. Most of the local restaurants have daily fresh fish specials. The local specialty is grilled sardines.


Essaouira Ancient medina area

Narrow and curving passageways make up the medina of Essaouira. The passageways are lined by tall white houses with blue doors and artisans workshops are found at every turn.Essaouira is world renowned for its local artisans products such as wood sculpting, paintings, fabrics and music
The historic canons are still found along the accessible Skala of the Kasbah and the exterior scenes of Orson Welles film Othello were filmed here.
There are many music festivals throughout the year - the Gnaoua Festival in June being the biggest
