Today we will travel towards the Atlantic Ocean for a full day excursion to Essaouira.

The name Essaouira comes from ‘’ AL SOUIRAH ‘’ meaning the little fortress surrounded by walls. The town is bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. Because it lies right on the sea, Essaouira was obliged to defend itself from pirate assaults from all shores, and sheltered behind walls reputed impossible to storm.

Ancient Portuguese harbour (known as Mogador), a nice little town on the Atlantic Ocean, Essaouira is today a sea resort. But it has kept its famous and ancient hand craft in its Medina, where thuja and citrus mingle their scents as they are carved in multiple shapes.
