Today is dedicated entirely to the beautiful city of Essaouira. After the port of Agadir was closed, Essaouira was the most important port city in Morocco from around 1765.

Then stroll through the medina (UNESCO World Heritage Site), which is different from other medinas in Morocco. It is laid out at right angles and is therefore unique.
