Authentic luxury travel : Excursion from Marrakech to Essaouira
Excursion from Marrakech to Essaouira
Description
Essaouira has long been considered as one of the best anchorages of the Moroccan coast. The bay at Essaouira is partially sheltered by the island of Mogador. During the 16th century, various powers including Spain, England, the Netherlands and France tried in vain to conquer the locality. Essaouira remained a haven for the export of sugar molasses and the anchoring of pirates.
The actual city of Essaouira was only built during the 18th century. Mohammed III, wishing to reorient his kingdom towards the Atlantic for increased exchanges with European powers, chose Mogador as his key location. He hired a French engineer, Théodore Cornut, and several other European architects and technicians, to build the fortress along modern lines. Originally called "Souira", "The small fortress", the name then became "Es-Saouira", "The beautifully designed". The city itself is a mixed of Jewish and Moroccan architecture.
It’s recommended to visit in your excursion to Essaouira, the port, the old Medina, the Skala and to eat grilled fish in the port.
In our excursion we propose a visit of the women cooperative of Argan oil and an other visit to the trees of Argan.
The price includes the visit to the cooperative, transport in luxury cars with air condition and English speaking drivers.
The Excursion start around 08:00 Am from the reception of your hotel and you will come back in Marrakech around 19:30.
